For a murderous escaped convict, Richard B. Riddick has an uncanny habit of being roped in to save the day. His big-screen debut was in Pitch Black, a sci-fi epic which dumped him on a planet infested with carnivorous aliens. In the sequel, The Chronicles of Riddick, he faced off with a marauding galactic empire, the evil-sounding (and doing) Necromongers.
Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay was one of the most visually stunning games to hit the original Xbox. It's also one of the very few movie based games that rocked. Given that gamers have been trained to expect sucktastic movie games, Escape from Butcher Bay was a surprising breath of fresh air. It built upon the mythos established by the films, gave us a meaty story and it was damn fun to play.
