Blood Dragons are badass and they shoot lasers out of their eyes! Yes you heard me right, frickin’ lasers! If this sounds like the clichéd story line from an 80’s action flick I’d agree with you, but it’s also everything that makes this game awesome. Sloan is also breeding the nasty Blood Dragons too, and once you encounter one of them in game you’ll understand that this is a bad thing.


You fill the role of Rex ‘Power’ Colt, a cybernetic super soldier on a mission to stop his rogue ex-commander, Sloan, and his band of robotic cronies Omega Force. It’s blowing stuff up and toilet humour done right, and game flops like the last Duke Nukem title can take note. Aside from quite a bit of Far Cry 3’s gaming mechanics Blood Dragon is a standalone title that is a messy, sloppy love letter to anyone who grew up watching action flicks in the 80’s. Was this just a joke or was it something real? Well as it turns out it was very real, so the next question obviously was what exactly does this have to do with Far Cry 3? The answer in short, not a damn thing at all. Read on for XBLA Fans’ picks and let us know what your favorites were and which 2014 game you think will be worthy of being named Game of the Year at the end of next December.When Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon was first announced people didn’t really know what to make of it as the date was April 1 st. Let’s get down to what you came here for: the best XBLA games of 2013. Games like Charlie Murder and Skulls of the Shogun were strong competitors that just missed landing on our list of 2013’s best.īut enough about the games that didn’t make the cut. That meant that picking out the best of the best XBLA games released last year was every bit as difficult for us as it’s been any other year. No, major releases continued throughout the year for Xbox 360 XBLA, and that trend looks to continue well into 2014 and possibly even beyond. Of course, Microsoft’s last-gen console and Xbox Live Arcade platform weren’t about to go quietly into that good night. Apologies for our tardiness, but we’re here today to make it up to you with our awards for the very best XBLA games to release in 2013.Īfter eight long and (mostly) wonderful years on the market, the Xbox 360 saw the beginning of its end in 2013 when its successor, the Xbox One, launched in November. The year 2013 has come and gone, and you know what that means: XBLA Fans dropped the ball on getting our Game of the Year awards out during the same calendar year the games released.
