Happy New Year!

The thing I love about Far Cry 3 so far is the unscripted element that fits into the game so naturally.

The idea that while I'm stealthily sneaking around an enemy outpost preying on pirates - my potential meal ticket to new missions, cash and ammo - a tiger could at the same time be stalking me, his potential meal!

Before I got the game, author of Chaos Mushroom, Raz86 told me of the time he was attacked by a random dog as they are EVERYWHERE! He subsequently shot the dog in the face - as you would - only to turn around and be attacked by a leopard. After beating him (or her) off of his virtual arm he applied the time-honoured tactic of backing up rapidly and firing randomly ... until he fell off a cliff! Sliding down the cliffside into shark infested water I think his deep rooted phobia of sharks got the better him, and while I stopped listening at this point, I like to imagine that the story ends with him squealing and turning off the xbox (like I did when I first played Tomb Raider 2 and fell into the pit of tigers).

I have yet to do any actual story missions but I'm expecting good things, and I've got all the ammo and weapon capacity possible - as well as more money than any wallet can carry - so I think I'll be ready for them!

Another friend of mine has a Molotov cocktail permanently lodged in his arm (bizarrely), which is hilarious but can be rather distracting.

I'm looking forward to Devil May Cry (5) and Injustice: Gods Among Us, just because.

Will be playing ZombieU for the first time in February (refused to wait in line at MCMxpo). I've heard good things so I'm curious.

Stay tuned

Press Start.
