Chronicles of Riddick- Escape from Butcher Bay

Everybody with an Xbox must own this game, now. It's the
best looking console game to date, and almost as good
looking as Doom 3 and Half Life 2. In fact, when you're
running down some of the more detailed corridors, the
graphic quality is nigh indistinguishable. Great work by
Starbreeze. Wicked lighting effects, ragdoll physics, 60
frames per second (usually)... good stuff. That fucking
sweet normal mapping, it's all the rage.

So far, there's been plenty of stealth, some insane hand to
hand combat (better than Breakdown's), multiple broken
necks, some Deus Ex style wheeling and dealing, and of
course, some violent gunplay. And lots of eye candy, some of
which I didn't think the Xbox was capable of.

If Doom 3 for Xbox looks half as good as Riddick, it'll be
just fine.

It's been out for a few days now, but I only just got it...
we never get the latest games on time here. Anyone play it
yet? I hear it's about a 10 hour game, which is a modest
length... but I'd prefer 10 intense hours to a drawn out 20
hour game. I rarely play a game that keeps on chugging the
whole way through, and I expect this game to deliver. I
guess I'll be glued the gaming throne for the next 12 or so
hours. I plan on beating it in one sitting. Grabbing the
muzzle of an attacking guards gun and shoving it into his
face to blow his brains out is sublime. It's like a dream
come true, bruddah.

Xbox is a computer like I'm a curvacious blonde. It's 733mhz
with 64 MB of RAM and has been since day 1, and will be
'till the dawn of the Xenon.

computer: a device that computes, especially a
programmable electronic machine that performs high-speed
mathematical or logical operations or that assembles,
stores, correlates, or otherwise processes
information.


we're talking symantics here bros.

shear beauty.

Fuck symantics, that word reminds me of Norton Antivirus.

Catalyst- yeah, the game is gorgeous. I can't believe the
detail in some of the environments, and the engine never
misses a beat. Hardcore. The bar has been raised for
consoles.

Actually, maybe gorgeous isn't the proper word... hideously,
realistically disgusting and grimy, that's more like it. You
can smell these polygons.

as far as D3 and HL2 I believe this game is just an
appetizer of what were about to see on those two games..
just my opinion, may be wrong.

I didn't realise there was a sequel (coming?) out to Pitch
Black. Looks a decent game though.

i want an xbox. i want to kill things every once in a
while.

i've been playing four swords adventure. it's a beautiful,
fully realised 2d zelda adventure, and will hold me off
until tales of symphonia.

Four Swords for Gamecube or GBA? Is the new one out yet?

Fuck, Riddick rocks. My b0x0rz r off, and maybe my socks
will be next.

new gamecube one. i got it yesterday at eb.

if you at all consider yourself a zelda fan, you need it; it
includes just about everything introduced in the zelda
series since the original. even lunge attacks.

I'll definitely have to get it if I can scrounge up the
money. One thing I hate is ''GBA connectivity'', fucking
pointless, a really poor substitute for online play. But I
assume it has a pretty sweet single player, right? How does
the ''four Link'' thing work?

I can't believe how little hype this game is getting, but I
guess that's because it's lacking that extra D.

Riddick- 9.5/10, didn't beat it yet, will this afternoon.
