Yes, it's real! You are all totally shocked, I know. Hell, some of you are probably playing it right now.
Anyway, in case you missed it yesterday, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon gameplay got released online but most of those videos have been taken down. So here's IGN's look at the first 15 minutes of the game. Old news if you caught the footage yesterday, otherwise enjoy this quick look.
Want more? Check back in the morning for some of my hands-on impression, plus interview with the creative director on Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.

Game music remixer Dj CUTMAN has organized a bunch of tunes that he's produced for the video group Underbelly into a nifty pay-what-you want pack. Underbelly Beats & Remixes contain a few straight-up NES arrangements and beat compilations of Super Mario Bros. 2, Metroid, and Mega Man 2, plus a few other surprises.
One of those surprises is a chiptune version of the main theme of The NeverEnding Story -- not the joke track from The Lonely Island linked above, of course. Then there is his medley of GoldenEye 007 tracks, which reminded of just how badass the music in that game was.
Go on and sample, chilluns!

The Wii U-exclusive Rayman Legends demo coming out this month will contain the full online challenge mode. A nice treat, sure, but that still doesn't change the fact that the game was already finished and should have been out by now. If Ubisoft wants to entice scorned gamers, it'll have to do a little bit more than that.
Series creator Michel Ancel and senior game manager Michael Micholic feel the same way you do, thus they and the Ubisoft Montpelier team have been working hard to make the final game even better. In an interview with Official Nintendo Magazine, the duo explained that the extra dev time was used to create a hefty amount of brand new content. Micholic states, "Trust me, the things we are adding aren't minor. We're not talking about adding some polish here and there, but 30 new levels and several new bosses."
Considering Rayman Origins was roughly 60 stages long, we're essentially getting an extra half of a game at no extra cost. That to me makes the delay to September 27 a lot more bearable. I know it's not going to be enough for a some of you, but at least you can appreciate the effort.
