Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is coming to Xbox Live on May 1

Get ready for a healthy serving of 80s sci-fi clichés. Ubisoft's rather strange return to the Rook Islands in the form of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon finally has a release date - May 1 - and it will only be available on the Xbox 360 through the Xbox Live Marketplace. There is no word from the company about a release on other platforms.According to the story of the game, the year is 2007 and you are Sergeant Rex Colt, a Mark IV Cyber Commando who's fighting against a cyborg army gone rogue. Your mission is simple and cliché-ridden - get the girl, kill the baddies and save the world. According to Ubisoft, the game takes inspiration from Terminator, Aliens and Navy Seals.The screenshots for the game look just as pulpy as the description. A very Aliens-eqsue aesthetic can be seen, and the developers have even gone as far as adding scanlines to give you the feeling that you're playing a game on a CRT off a VHS tape.
