I'm Gaming Jay: Youtube gamer, let's player, fan of retro games, and determined optimist... Join me in this series while I try out EACH of the video games in the book 1001 VIDEO GAMES YOU MUST PLAY BEFORE YOU DIE, before I die. The game review for each game will focus on the question of whether you MUST play this game before you die. But to be honest, the game review parts are just for fun, and are not meant to be definitive, in depth reviews; this series is more about the YouTube gamer journey itself. From Mario games to the Halo series, from arcade games to Commodore 64, PC games to the NES and Sega Genesis, Playstation to the Xbox, let's play those classic retro games that we grew up with, have fond memories of, or heard of but never got a chance to try! And with that said, the game review for today is...

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Riddick:_Assault_on_Dark_Athena

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is a science fiction first-person action video game for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360[1] and Mac OS X.[2] The game is a sequel to The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, which was remade and included along with the Assault on Dark Athena campaign.[3] The game was released on April 7, 2009.[4] A demo was released on Xbox Live on March 4, 2009, with a PlayStation Network release following on March 12, 2009.[5] Virtual Programming released the Mac OS X version on April 16, 2010, as a download through Deliver2Mac.com and other digital distribution web sites.[6]

The game was developed by Starbreeze Studios and published by Atari. According to Ian Stevens, Head of Production at Tigon Studios, the decision to do a remake was because Microsoft could not make the Xbox 360 backward compatible with Escape from Butcher Bay, and because they wanted to get the Escape story to a larger audience before progressing further.[7]

Dark Athena has improved graphics and artificial intelligence (AI) from Butcher Bay along with the addition of a multiplayer mode. The single player mode has also been expanded to include Riddick escaping onto a mercenary ship called Dark Athena. Vin Diesel, the voice and likeness of the title character, was involved in the production of Assault on Dark Athena.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena was originally announced on May 22, 2007, as a remake of Escape from Butcher Bay with Assault on Dark Athena serving as a "bonus chapter".[8] On July 10, 2008, The merger between Vivendi Games, the game's publisher and Activision had been complete and on July 29, 2008, the newly formed Activision Blizzard had announced that The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena along with eight other Vivendi Games titles that were in development had been dropped, putting the future of the game into question.[9] However, on September 24, 2008, StarBreeze Studios confirmed that The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena was nearing completion and were in the process of looking for a publisher to publish the game.[10] In October 2008 Infogrames, the parent company of Atari, announced they had picked up the publishing rights to Riddick and Ghostbusters: The Video Game.[11] While the fate of Riddick was up in the air, Starbreeze reportedly kept working,[12] and generated enough content by December 2008 to make Dark Athena, for all intents and purposes, a sequel to their earlier work.
