Ubisoft are appealing to that crazy 'custom content creation' crowd. Say that five times fast you earn an achievement. The trailer teases how easy it is to slap together our own island paradises.

By 'paradise' they of course mean warzone. We can randomly generate worlds and then add unique environmental elements like caves and waterfalls. Don't forget those miscellaneous objects!

There's trouble for UK PC gamers looking to expand their Steam library with Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed 3 this week as the publisher confirms it's absent "for the time being", despite being available in Europe.

There's pretty dynamic fire, big explosions, savage wildlife, jerk bag enemies, lush environments, tons of weapons, and plenty of surprises. Producer Dan Hay narrates the video.

The latest Ubisoft trailer for Far Cry 3 is all about setting up the scene, where we'll go from a carefree skydiving group of chums (presumably drunk a lot) to fighting for our lives against insanity.

We're asked how far we'll go to rescue our ransomed friends. Our only hope is to "embrace the dark secrets" of the island paradise, and "its twisted characters." It's out late this month.
