I promised Jeff I would spend time playing Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher’s Bay, and I came through on that promise. Its pretty fun, but the best way to describe it is that its remind me of Halo crossed with some Splinter Cell. Now, I’ve just named off to pretty monumental games here and had Riddick come out before those other two there would be real reason to call your mom about it. It came late to the dance, so we can’t get too excited about it.

Don’t get me wrong its big time fun, but I think I’m just in a Fable mood at the moment. The biggest highlight for me was walking around the prison and all the guys were saying things like “you gotta get a shiv man” or “hey, you wanna stay alive? Get a shiv and kill General Gau” or something like that.

BTW, when it came time to name my character I went with “Vigo” like the bad guy from Ghostbusters 2. I figure when I kill people really violently I can stand up on my couch and say “You are like flies to him! He is Viiiiigo!” Hopefully more on this game later, I promise to resist the Fable urge until at least the weekend.

PS. Get Kanye West - College Dropout(iTunes Link). Little kids singing about selling drugs on the street has never been done better. After all he’s Jay-Z’s protege.
