Regarding The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena..

Now I'm all for fan neutrality, but this just gets on my t1ts..

According to Ian Stevens - Head of Production at Tigon, 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.

Why oh why, of all the Xbox titles that are backwards compatible, why not THIS one?

Most people have played the first anyway, so now we all have to wait so little Bob (who hasn't played it yet) can play it on his Arcade..

Here, I obviously feel for my PS3 brethren, but now also for non-Arcade owning Xboxers out there.

Screw Bobs', and screw Microsoft for it's inability to make this one not BC.

:mad:

Damn you Microsoft, damn you.

:mad:

The original is probably the most underrated game ever.

Well, at least it'll have better graphics.

That's crappy :(

I saw it up for auction the other day on Bid Or Buy. Good thing I didn't put in a winning bid.

That's sad indeed!
