Signed Chronicles of Riddick game
I went by a local game shop that’s near where I work yesterday and when I left I saw a handwritten note on the door that said that some dudes from Starbreeze Studios would be there the day after (today) to talk about and sign The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena games.
I decided to go there after work today to check it out and buy the game (it’s pay day). I had played the demo and the game seemed pretty decent.
It was the producer and art director who were there. It felt a little awkward to get the game signed since they pretty much could be my colleagues. Starbreeze Studios is a local company in the city where I live and work. But, hey, I also got a free T-shirt 
It has the Starbreeze logo on the back, which I think looks pretty cool.
I’ve played the game all evening and it’s pretty good. Oh, perhaps I should say that by game I mean the remastered Escape from Butcher bay which is included on the disc (or the main game, depending on how you see it). I thought I’d play Assault on Dark Athena afterwards.

I just completed “Escape from Butcher bay” (on normal). I must say I liked it plenty. Enough to want to play through it over a weekend (which I don’t do often). I didn’t complete all side quests though.
I liked the Pitch Black movie and this game gives you a similar feeling as that movie. I did not, however, like the Chronicles of Riddick movie much, but there’s very little reference to that movie. So you don’t have to endure any planets called “Crematoria” or crap like that, just a quick mention of the “Furian” race.
Now I still have Assault on Dark Athena left to play
edit: the story in Escape from Butcher bay takes place before Pitch Black.
