The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
 

This game seems to have came out of nowhere, and looks very impressive, judging by the videos and screen shots I have seen. The models look very realistic, and the gameplay looks pretty fun. My only concern is that I am not a big fan of console FPS games, I much rather play on my PC.


It seems this is slated to come out 6/1, the same day as Full Spectrum Warrior, so I think I will be waiting for a price drop on this one.

The demo on the Official Xbox demo disc is sweet, a little too short though.

I was thinking about picking up the magazine for that demo alone, but I didn't think it would be worth it.


Does someone have an extra demo or one they don't want, and would be willing to part with it for the cost of shipping?

It does look like it could be good. But you I never have high hopes, for every EA LOTR game, there's 20 Enter the Matrix quality or worse games out there.

Plus, ETM looked good from the previews.

That is my only worry. With the movie coming out just a week or so after it's release, I am hoping that it won't be a buggy pile of crap. I am thinking this won't be the case, since people seem to enjoy the demo.

You guys should have seen the crowd waiting to see Vin Diesel at E3 this afternoon!!!

I quickly left as it was impossible to navigate through the Universal mega booth after he arrived.

Game scored a 9/10 in one of the recent Xbox mags (forget which one, one of the freebies I get).

Flashburn,

For less than $2 a month, you can subscribe and get a usually great demo disc every month. Sure, the mag is mostly crap, but the discs are worth at least $5 a month in my mind. And even if only 3 a year interest you, a subscription saves you money.

Thanks for the tip, I never realized it was that cheap. I might just do that.

Do you have a link to that offer or do you have to buy the magazine and then send in the card?

If anyone is interested, I'm able to order the game from my job at a discount. Since I'll be ordering the game for myself I can get 4 more copies. I did this previously with Metal Arms so some of you may remember me. My name is listed on the good traders list. Here's the breakdown on price, it'll be $22.67 plus shipping($2 for usps, $4 UPS) US dvdtalkers only.

I no longer have any available copies of Chronicles of Riddick. If you are interested in any other games that are made by VU Games please let me know.

I can also get Van Helsing(ps2,xbox,gba) if anyone's interested.

YGM! You rule for hooking some of us up with Metal Arms for cheap.

The PsiOps demo on this month's disc is cool, too... QUITE intriguing

The game looked sweet... I'm gonna have to pick this up.

YGM.

The price at their website and on the cards in magazine fluctuates. I've seen everything from 19.95 to 29.95 per year.

I can vouch for Alexkat for this and any other deal.

Sucks that I didn't see this in time as I would have jumped on the deal.

Okay - so who got this and what do you think?

Apparantly the game looks and plays a lot better than the demo (which wasn't too bad).

Fry's has it for $34.99.

Should get my copy early next week from Alexkat.

Picked up my copy today, and I must say that I am very surprised. I based my purchase on the reviews that I have been reading and the demo that I played a couple weeks ago, and I can honestly say that this is probably the best Xbox game I've played all year next to Ninja Gaiden. Incredible graphics, amazing gameplay--what more could one ask for? Currently I'm trying to navigate my way through the mines, and I hope to have the game completed sometime tomorrow.

Yeah, this is a really good game. It's all been said already, though :).

Anyone know where to find Abbot in the pig level? Gamefaqs has no help as of yet.

Anyone else find this to be somewhat contradictory?

It's funny but this is the game that is finally going to make me buy an X-box. Not KOTOR* or Halo* but a game based on a movie!?!?! How insane is that? I guess it doesn't hurt that I really enjoyed the first movie and also like Vin Diesel's VO work a lot. I can't wait to play this.

*However I will get these very soon.

There was a pretty good making of special for this game on G4TechTV (ugh what a name). If G4 is true to its roots, it will be rerun 50 times before the movie comes out.
