Yesterday I felt like picking up a new game, and I was debating what to get. While browsing around I discovered some really positive reviews for Chronicles of Riddick. Odd, given that movie based games normally suck. When I went to the local game store it got rave reviews from the other shoppers and the staff. What the hell.

The game is an interesting cross between Splinter Cell and Halo. The graphics are amazing, and the fact that they went for a MA game, and kept the swearing in adds to the game feeling very different than typical. Riddick kills people to gain favor with other inmates, acquires a shiv, and beats the hell out of people with brass knuckles. And this is all in the first level!

I still haven't gotten my eyes shined, but the stealth mode is pretty nice. Overall, the game is pretty slick. We'll see if it keeps my attention long enough to finish.
