Nice to see I got the ball rolling.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay (2004)

What with the new Riddick film coming out this week I decided to run through all of the other Riddick related material that has come before it. I started this game once a few years back but never got far with it. Always meant to go back but the site I had bought it from had gone under so I couldn't redownload it.

Unfortunately, it's no longer available from Steam either. Thankfully though GOG still has it and so I was able to finally escape. This was a really great game. Solid mechanics, good pacing, nice level design, excellent writing and a great cast.

I was surprised to find out the prison warden was none other than Howling Mad Murdock. He gave a solid understated performance but I think they missed a perfect opportunity to have him also portray some crazy prisoner.

I also think this would be a perfect game for someone to adapt for Oculus Rift support.

Up next is Assault on Dark Athena, let's see how that goes...
