Far Cry 3 sharks

That’s it GOTY right there. Dishon-i-who? – Far Cry 3 lets you hunt sharks. End of conversation. Those big fishes aren’t just there to stop you swimming too far out to sea either, they’re actually prey you can take on for fun and profit.

The Unfinished Swan review

Even if it weren’t overtly presented as such, The Unfinished Swan would feel like stepping into a child’s bedtime story.
