Raw Kryptonite Beat the Kobayashi Maru Hotshot Registered: 04/04/08 Posts: 9781 Loc: MS	$6 for one of the better "must play" scifi games. A fine blend of stealth and shooter in a story-driven action game. http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/the_chronicles_of_riddick_assault_on_dark_athena *Shiv not included. _________________________ •XBL/Steam/Xfire: Raw Kryptonite MWO: Defcon Won •Logitech G27 Nixim •AMD FX-4170 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 & 6970 2GB GDDR5 Crossfire •16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz PC3-12800 •MSI 990FXA-GD65 Mobo

The voice talent in both games is first rate. _________________________ I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse. - Charles V

Talon Member Registered: 11/29/99 Posts: 917 Loc: Tampa, FL USA	I did the steam special, too but for some reason I did not like the games. There was some "missing" intangible element for me. I do agree the voice acting was spot on. Who knows, I may try them again. --T _________________________ Support simulation in the classroom.

Jedi Master Entil'zha Big Kahuna Registered: 02/15/00 Posts: 35810 Loc: Space Coast, USA	I never played BB until Dark Athena, and I saw them as 2 halves of one game (since both were short apart). I didn't really notice much difference stylistically between them.

bogusheadbox Opinionated Aussie Bloke Member Registered: 03/14/06 Posts: 1453	I heard quite a few comments that these games are must haves. Never played them.

PanzerMeyer Effervescent Libertarian King Crimson - SimHQ's Top Poster Registered: 04/04/01 Posts: 79415 Loc: Miami, FL USA	What I think the games really nail perfectly in my opinion is the visceral feeling of the melee combat, the voice acting and the level design. _________________________ I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse. - Charles V
