It’s been nearly a week since Ubisoft Montreal’s daring stand-alone expansion Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon exploded onto the gaming scene, packed with over-the-top language and violence, and almost too many 80s references to count. Sci-fi legend Michael Biehn appears to have reclaimed his title and returned to the spotlight, his presence in the game surrounded by a cult following of its own.

City cruised to a 3-0 win over their visitors and Bernardo Silva was arguably the standout performer, delighting with his close control, vision and dribbling ability.
