Gamer's Hell has posted a review of "The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay" (XBOX), looks to be worth a buy - let's hope it gets ported to the PC.
- "I don’t think I’m wrong if I say that the number of great games based on licensed movie brands can be counted on one hand. There are plenty of perfectly okay ones, but a scary number of truly horrendous ones too. It’s common to look at this kind of games as a cheap way of making extra money off a fresh brand name. It works in some cases, but in many cases the end result just shouldn’t have been made in the first place. Today I’ll talk about an exception to the trend, a game you’ll definitely want for your Xbox.
Games based on movie licenses are often released after the movie. You could wonder if this is done because a poor game could hurt the sale of tickets at cinemas. The newly released game named The Chronicles of Riddick is in fact a game that’s not just awesome; it also makes you want to see the upcoming movie."
