Game Informer: "Nostalgia is a valuable currency in the video game industry. Nintendos biggest titles stick to decades-old formulas, and the indie scene is overflowing with pixelated throwbacks. Earlier this year, Ubisoft took a different approach to the 80s homage with Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. The standalone digital title combines the eras iron-studded, fluorescent action films with Far Cry 3s superb gameplay. Blood Dragon stands as an anomaly, both in terms of its aesthetic and marketing strategy. This is the story of how it all came together under the guidance of Ubisofts passionate 1980s savant, Dean Evans. Its also the story of how Aliens: Colonial Marines nearly turned Michael Biehn, voice of Rex Colt, off from working in video games entirely, and how Hobo with a Shotgun director Jason Eisener helped inspire Ubisofts experiment."
