New Riddick Gameplay Footage!

I can always look to Gametrailers for some inspiration, and today made me giddy with anticipation.

Starbreeze Studios has been hard at work with a followup to Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay and making Assault on Dark Athena. It includes the original Xbox Butcher Bay updated for the 360 and adds more story and gameplay to the mix with Dark Athena.

Five new videos were released today and look great. The best of which is the melee gameplay vid. I played the first game a long while back and can attest to its surprising splendor. Starbreeze has quite a reputation to live up to now, and I really want to see them do well. Doing your best in some pretty tight situations doesn't bode well for many people, and they seem to have weathered some of them already.
