Great Remake of an instant classic, and worthy sequel. ( PC )
Riddick AoDA is a game that is sure to please even the most die hard fps fans. Like its predecessor, it contains all the elements of a great fps with added elements of RPG and 3rd person plat-forming and adventure. Graphically, it is not the technical masterpiece Escape from Butcher ...

One of the Best Games on 360 ( X360 )
Riddick is back!!!! The improvements on Butcher Bay is very good and the dialogue is very good. this game has a kind of RPG element to it. Dark Athena is an excellent game to bundle with. The action and stealth in the 2 games are very good and some parts ...

Fighting's fun, the rest? Ehh... ( X360 )
Escape from Butcher Bay was a hell of a game-changer back in 2004. What with it's awesome fist-fights and Vin-Diesel groveling, there were barely any faults that it had. Not only was it a damn fine game, but it helped to fight back that all movie-based games are bad. Apparently, ...

Keeping up with the Diesels ( X360 )
Vin Diesel is in the midst of the safest comeback attempt I’ve seen in a long time, in that it appears that he’s revisiting every property he’s ever seen any success in. First he reprised his role in the latest Fast and the Furious movie, alongside most of the original ...

You can stab people in the best ways in this game. ( PC )
I jammed a shiv into a dude’s eye, wiggled it around to really, really dig it in there, and then pulled it back out before he was finally given solace, because man, I wanted him to feel all of that. The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena has that. Brutality ...

Review: The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena ( X360 )
    The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay was a part of that rare breed of movie games that didn't suck. Developer Starbreeze Studios created a first person experience that delivered a fully realized environment and immersive stealth gameplay that was true to the Riddick character while not ...

Heavy handed action ( X360 )
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay had an atmospheric combination of action and stealth that managed to be entertaining, even if it was a bit short and straightforward. Five years later we get a remake/expansion pack, Assault on Dark Athena, and it seems that not a whole lot ...

Assault on Dark Athena ( X360 )
Assault on Dark Athena is a decent game. It's not a great game, it's certainly not its predecessor, but it's a decnet game.My favorite aspect of the game is the Pitch Black mulitplayer mode. You essentially need to kill guards, who are generally pretty weak, with your blades. After you ...

Awesome fun for countless hours! ( X360 )
The game offers a combination of stealth and action mixed together. Not much to offer in Dark Athena in the form of sidequests but this does not takeaway from the fun, exciting aspect of the game itself. The dialogue is tacky and Riddick's one liners are rather corny but it ...

In space Riddick will make you scream. ( PC )
Another Riddick game, another chance to slice and dice as Vin Diesel himself. Seeing as there are many Butcher Bay reviews out there I'll jump right to the main attraction here which is the sequel(or more like expansion), Assault on Dark Athena.Dark Athena starts off where Butcher Bay ends. You ...

A.I. not perfect, but fun to mess around with. ( X360 )
This is going to be brief, mostly because I'm lazy. First things first, if you played Riddick on Xbox1 and enjoyed it and the related universe, go buy this game now. I can personally guarantee that you won't regret it. Plus you can get it for 39.99 at newegg.com, I ...

Solid game ( X360 )
They really did a good job with the graphical adjustments from the first one. You can enjoy the amazing environment. I like butcher bay more for the RP element they have. The second one has some pretty wicked kill sequences though. The ending for the sequel was very disappointing to ...
