Ever since E.T. first made his blotchy appearance on the Atari 2600, gamers have suffered through hundreds of poorly made film adaptations. When Starbreeze first announced The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, people assumed the combination of a licensed title and Vin Diesel would not equal an enjoyable experience. However, the developers at Starbreeze crafted a masterful first-person action-adventure title that not only matched the quality of the film, but exceeded it. Now, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena brings back the original game and partners it with an all-new sequel on the same disk. Can this two-pack of Diesel goodness deliver a face-smashing good time?

Escape from Butcher Bay begins with the introduction of Richard Riddick, a deadly criminal that has been captured and taken to the most feared prison known to man. Once inside, Riddick immediately hatches a plan for escape. This involves making his way through the bowels of the facility and defending himself from naturally antagonistic inmates, guards, and security robots. The sequel, Assault on Dark Athena, picks up right where Butcher Bay leaves off, with Riddick being captured by a spacecraft full of treacherous mercenaries. After averting another imprisonment, he sets out to free the other hostages and take down the icy Captain Revas before blasting away to freedom.
