Okay, boys and girls. Today and maybe tomorrow and day after that, we talk about GAMES. In matter of fact, my friend has a habit ICQing me an in-depth review of a game he has played through. So, im going to share these bits of wisdom with you guys... I'll just have to translate the ICQ messages to english. Anyway, here you go, Riddick: Escape From Butcher's Bay review:

Short, but good. It was a very well balanced game between sneaking, shooting and doing quests to people. Oh well, actually there were only one questing part, where there was this fighting ring and stuff. Maybe I would've liked it more if there were more of those quests, but then again, quests like "get my glasses" didn't really fit to Riddick's personality. The game was movie like and not a FPS. Luckily you didn't get any doomsday weapons (except a few times, but they were quickly taken away, which was a good thing because then you could relieve your aggressions without spoiling the whole game). The game was very well carried out for the most parts (ex. hiding in shadows) and had great graphics (close to Elder Scrolls 4?)
The thing what I missed was that you couldn't throw stuff around like in Thief so you could distract the guards. Sounds were good too, just something like you would expect, and the music created a good athmosphere. And those loading times didn't bother at much, except there were the canteen was, because you had to run around through the loading areas. The plot was very good for an FPS game just like the parts where you got the tank armour and stuff. It probably would've gone boring if the game had kept going on longer but I suppose I could've played it a bit longer if it had been just as interesting.

Sorry about the numerous grammatical errors in that review; im not very good at translating stuff from finnish to english.
