<p>In what is an absolutely puzzling but kind of awesome marketing move, Ubisoft has chosen to promote their upcoming FPS/Hallucinatory game Far Cry 3 by giving away a free Minecraft map and texture pack.</p>
<p>The free pack will be downloadable for PC on October 26, and will feature Far Cry 3 locations and characters, including Vaas, Jason, and Citra.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t say I completely understand this marketing move since the two games are vastly different, but that doesn&#8217;t mean I won&#8217;t still hunt down Vaas&#8217; blocky doppelganger and put a diamond sword in his neck.</p>
