If you’re looking for a good day to buy Far Cry 3, online retailer Amazon has made today that day.Ubisoft’s Far Cry 3 is the Amazon Gold Box Deal of the Day at $35 for PS3, Xbox 360, or PC with free shipping, but it’s not the only deal. Also listed are a Plantronics Gamecom X95 headset for $56.53 (regular price $99), NHL 13 for $38 (regular price $60), Need for Speed Most Wanted for $28 to $38 depending on which version you buy (regular price $50 to $60), and deals on Hitman: Absolution and NBA: Baller Beats.
Far Cry 3 is by far the crown jewel of the sale, though; while other games and items are only on sale for a limited window of time per listing, Far Cry 3 is an all-day deal and a really good deal; critics loved the game, we named it our Game of the Year, and the closest you’ll get to that price anywhere else is $47 for the PC version.
If you’ve been living under a rock somewhere, Far Cry 3 tasks you with playing as an ordinary man thrust into extreme circumstances: your friends are kidnapped while you’re on vacation on a remote island, and you have to brave violent psychopaths and nature itself to get them back in an open-world adventure that feels like “Skyrim with guns.” So, yes, definitely worth your $35.
