As a lot of you know - I am a very stressed person. It seems like I can almost never get a break.. There is literally always something happening in my life to stress me out.

Fortunately, because of that, I know the best ways to help me relieve stress. I really have 2 favorite ways. One being, watching a funny television show, or a movie, and two would be playing a video game, and just getting lost for a bit.

I have a huge collection of both movies, and games - But if I had to pick one, I would say gaming does relieve more stress than watching movies. When you watch a movie you forget about whatever is going on to stress you out - For probably a good 2 hours. But as soon as it's over, you usually remember, and then the stress starts all over again. With a good game, you don't really have that problem - You can play for as many hours as you'd like.

And my favorite part, is that you can completely get lost in a game. It's like you become part of another world, and you just completely forget about any stress going on in your life.
The best type of games in my opinion are the ones where you can role-play, and really expand your character.

Far Cry is definitely one game series that I am  a huge fan of.

I've played countless hours in the past, and really love the first-person shooter setting, and to be honest, I just love the excitement, and surprise of the game. The graphics on Far Cry 2 were super awesome, and I just can't imagine how amazing they are in Far Cry 3!

It will most likely make you feel like you're actually there shooting. Definitely a great way to relieve a little stress, huh!? Melt into a game, and just play for hours and hours.

If you're a gamer, or you just love relieveing a little stress, definitely consider Far Cry 3.
And for those of you who haven't heard of Far Cry 3 - Here is a bit of information on what you can expect from Far Cry 3:

"Explore a beautiful and diverse island playground - lush jungles, mountains ranges, swampy grasslands and sandy beaches. Explore lost Japanese bunkers, ancient temples, secluded caves, shipwrecks, abandoned compounds and more.

Race through foliage, fly over deep canyons and traverse the island with hang gliders, boats, trucks, jeeps and ATV's. Or for the expedition adventurers, use fast travel between any two save locations."

Plus there's more!
