Forget whether or not you like Vin or his movies.  Then clear your mind of all those other movie to video game translations that seriously failed.  This game is very, very good.

Pros: Incredible graphics and lighting effects (the best I have seen on the Xbox so far); Excellent voice acting by all characters, especially Vin Diesel and Cole Houser; the game definately makes you feel like you are actually playing a Riddick...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

"The Chronicles of Riddick : Escape fro Butcher Bay" was missing something.  Don't get me wrong, I loved the games environment, (dark, dreary, evil) but the ending was so disappointing that I haven't touched the game once since I finished it.  ...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

I was initially skeptical about this game.  I haven't seen the movie, or the shorts, because they look stupid.  Don't let that bias you against this awesome game, though.  This game looks incredible, and I love the fist-fighting...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay had little to no hype due to the bombing of the movie, but this game suprisingly ended up being one of the years best First Person Shooters.  Let me tell you why.
