Far Cry 3 E3 footage shows tigers, foul language
Kicking off Ubisoft's E3 2012 press briefing today, a new batch of Far Cry 3 footage showed the game playing up its edgier aspects -- beginning with a naked woman, continuing to a scene where the most discernible word was "fuck" repeated a bunch of times, and finishing with tigers that the player could use like explosive barrels: freeing them to attack enemies, lighting everything on fire, and then killing the tigers after.
For an abbreviated version of that footage, check out the game's latest trailer:

Ubisoft announces ZombiU exclusively for Wii U
At its E3 2012 press conference, Ubisoft has revealed a new Wii U exclusive game titled ZombiU.
An all-CG trailer for the game didn't give us a good idea of what the actual gameplay will be, but it provided some hints. As you might expect from a zombie game, ZombiU seems to be dark and gory. In one freeze-framed scene, a man surrounded by zombies had just shot himself rather than be consumed.
