Welcome to an 80\u2019s VHS vision of the future. The year is 2007 and you are Sargent Rex Colt, a Mark IV Cyber Commando who\u2019s fighting against a cyborg army gone rogue. Your mission: get the girl, kill the baddies, and save the world. Experience every clich\u00e9 of a VHS era vision of a nuclear future, where cyborgs, blood dragons, mutants, and Michael Biehn (Terminator, Aliens, Navy Seals) collide.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You won\u2019t need Far Cry 3 to play Blood Dragon, which the listing schedules for a 1 May 2013 release.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the crazy screenshots
