Its called The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena.


I heard of it, but I thought it was a straight sequel. Are you saying it's the same game with a fresh coat of paint and a few new levels? Or is it a legitimate sequel?

This. Although I've been researching and it seems like the sequel is less stealth and more run 'n gun in style. I might be wrong though.

Either way Riddick is an excellent game and one of the reasons I very strongly consider a Day-1 purchase of every Starbreeze title.

I just picked up these 2 today:

I already had the Saturn version of Daytona USA, but extra tracks and better graphics on one of the best arcade racers ever made, and for only $4 complete with manual and artwork...I couldn't say no.

Loved Alan Wake...one of the creepiest games I'd played in a while (though I haven't played Amnesia, which I've heard I should be sitting on the toilet while I play).

Had one of the best ventures at a swap shop I've ever had this past Friday. Walked away with:

Banjo-Kazooie & Pokemon Snap (N64)
StarTropics I, II, and RC ProAm (NES)
Gradius III, Earthworm Jim, Earthbound( :shock: ) (SNES)
Beyond Good & Evil (PS2)
A Nintendo Zapper and a NES Advantage

One of the happiest ventures I've had in a very long time.

Yeah it's pretty awesome so far.

Amnesia is a different kind of horror. Think more Slender Man type horror. Alan Wake has that feeling of dread nailed down since even if you see the enemies coming ... you're almost never confident that you'll be able to hold your own.

It's very refreshing.
