AMD Never Settle bundle gives Radeon HD 7000 buyers free games they’d actually care to play
Posted in: Today's ChiliJust about anyone who has bought more than one aftermarket graphics card knows that bundled games rarely matter. They’re usually year-old titles or neutered editions built only to showcase the GPU’s performance for a few hours. AMD thinks its Never Settle bundle might finally get us to notice. Buy any modern Radeon HD video card from the 7770 GHz Edition on up and you’ll get a download code for at least one new game you’d genuinely want to try, ranging from Far Cry 3 on basic cards to a full three-game deal that supplies Far Cry 3, Hitman: Absolution and Sleeping Dogs to high rollers buying the 7900 series. There’s likewise a discount for Medal of Honor: Warfighter and promises of bundles in 2013 for Bioshock Infinite and the reimagined Tomb Raider. As long as you’re not dead set on springing for a GeForce board in the next few months, one of the qualifying cards might be worth a look to jumpstart your game collection.

If you were one of those who placed your pre-order for a copy of Far Cry 3, then be prepared to wait a little bit longer, as it seems that Ubisoft’s desert island shooter will experience a delay, hence the release date being pushed back to November 30th. The UK will be the first to receive this particular game, which is a good three months after the originally planned September 4th release date. I guess you will have to find a different way to keep yourself occupied throughout that quarter – perhaps if you want something engrossing and yet rolls back the years to your childhood, a copy of Pokemon Black & White 2 might just be the right tonic, as you strive to catch ‘em all.
Dan Hay, producer at Ubisoft, said, “We’re taking more time to create the best possible gameplay experience. Far Cry 3 is a huge offering and we want every element of this insane, action-packed adventure to be of the highest possible quality for the players.” I always believed that it is better to delay a title to make sure it comes out perfect – or at least something close to it, instead of rolling out something which is gimped from the get go.
