Nice to see I got the ball rolling.

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

This was a really great game. Solid mechanics, good pacing, nice level design, excellent writing and a great cast.

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...

I played Butcher Bay on old Xbox, and really liked it.  I bought a PC version to loan to my PS/PC friend, and he never played it and never gave it back.  :(

I bought it a 3rd time with Dark Athena on 360 and played it a 2nd time.  They changed a bit in the middle, and I think I prefered it the way it was (mech segment)... but I will agree that it is an awesome game and a lot of fun.  I further agree that it would be a good match for the Rift.

Dark Athena was a decent expansion pack... but didn't seem to improve on Butcher in any meaningful way.  It was simply more game in a different setting.  Which was fine, but nothing to celebrate, in my opinion.
