After recently renting
the third Riddick movie, I kind of thought about the videogame that was made back when the 2nd one was released in 2004, "
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay." After searching for it, turns out a 2nd videogame was made in 2009 which I never heard about, "
Assault on Dark Athena." What they did for the version that I wound up buying is include the first game also, but the upgraded later "Developer's Cut" which has two new areas and new enemies, so a great two-for-the-price-of-one deal here!
Haven't bought a new videogame in a long time, think the last one was "Metal Gear Solid 4" for PS3, and I still don't have a PS3 console... Heh. But yeah, I liked the Riddick movies, own the first two and the anime (
"Dark Fury"), and thought I should own the PC games finally to get the extra added story that they provide. The third movie was straight-to-video quality, and it was nice of Vin Diesel to fight to get it made for the fans, so it's the thought that counts (
Universal didn't wanna make another, so Vin Diesel said give me the IP Rights then so I can do something with the series, etc.! A deal was struck where he traded out his appearance fee for a cameo in one of the Fast'n'Furious movies for the IP Rights to the Riddick franchise, so pretty badass if you ask me!). So yeah, it was low-budget and nowhere near as ambitious as the 2nd, so you get what was paid for obviously, but nice that another one was made nonetheless...
