THE BUZZ: Ubisoft has released a new batch of Far Cry 3 screenshots.

The screenshots come after a brand new trailer for the game was released yesterday.

“Far Cry 3 players step into the shoes of Jason Brody, a man alone at the edge of the world, stranded on a mysterious tropical island cut off from civilization,” says the publisher. ”In this savage paradise where lawlessness and violence are the only sure thing, players will dictate when, where and how the events of the game unfold. Players will slash, sneak, detonate and shoot their way across the island in a world that has lost all sense of right and wrong.”

EGM’s TAKE: Far Cry 3 looks more intense than the previous two titles and gives off an aura of survival that the other two lacked. This is about one holiday makers fight for freedom, can he smart the islands gangs and crime lords and make his was to safety?
