Riddick Dark Athena Visuals Revealed
They even look as if you could buy them at Athena
Posted 22 Dec 2008

Atari has released new images from The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena - now, these ones are online and multiplayer. This may account for the screenshot to the right, that appears to have been taken with a box brownie on the fly.
There's been some debate recently as to whether this next slab of the Riddick franchise is a new game unto itself or merely an episodic expansion with an expanded Escape From Butcher Bay engine. What everybody does appear to know is that it's got 11 hours of gameplay (11 eleven hours played by whom, we don't know) and that it's got six multi-player modes including the Pitch Black and Butcher Bay Riot modes.
So, there you go.

I never said it was s**te, I am giving invaluable feedback to ensure the accuracy and detailed information this amazing site offers.
And whilst you are on a rampage of words spree how about no?

Oh and Tim I think your choice of words about this game are rather unclear. Maybe providing a better detailed description such as pointing out that here is a link to which more information is available from Atari explaining what the game truely is would be best.
Unless your on the egg nog with a shot or two of brandy then I will let you off hahaha.

Oh dear, I only pop in once a month or so now to see if you're still filling this otherwise lovely site with your irritating drivel. Sadly, you are, so I'll be off again.
Merry Christmas to all SPOnG staff and readers, apart from SuperSaiyan4 who has spoiled this site for so many of us with her badly written brain-dead bile.

As per information from Atari themselves a few days ago they said that Dark Athena expands on the original game by Adding an additional 11hrs of gameplay. Butcher Bay has been revamped with extra content and once you complete that game you then have another 11hrs of game time because of Dark Athena which essentially makes it a sequel.

Oh and thanks for the late news which is partially incorrect and somewhat slap dash.
