[QUOTE=Crevalle]I still think it was ridiculous that Gamespot gave Riddick a 9.3 -- what a joke. I personally thought the game sucked. It got a higher score than Doom 3 and HL2.

That's because it's a better game than doom 3, HL2 well I can't explain that one. Also the list of movies that are good is lolz.
I played Riddick. I'm sorry, in my opinion it is very overrated. Good game but not great. I hated getting far into the story and then having to backtrack all of the time. It just seemed tedious. You can get it cheap now so it is surely worth a look. I like FPS a ton so naturally I thought Doom 3 was much better. I finised Doom 3 but gave up about 1/2 way through Riddick; it just couldn't hold my interest.

No, you can't, because that statement was pure idiocy. I'm sorry, but I can't even take you seriously with comments like that. Even Gamespot said they gave it higher marks due to the fact that movie-games usually suck, and they didn't think CoR did at all. That rationale also, IMO, is lame--it creates an uneven playing field for ratings.

Oh darn you don't take my opinions seriously.
I can't speak for gamespot nor do I really take their grades with anything stronger than a grain of salt. However I thought doom 3 sucked, it was a dull and dark cramped FPS, it wasn't scary and games that are all dark all them time can eat me. I haven't liked any of the games that used the unreal engine, and now that I have superb shooters like fear I have no need to give them another shot. Riddick was a great game, the only problem with it was the lack of a map.
Comparing riddick to doom 3 and HL2 (which you did not me) is stupid in the first place. Since they are nothing alike. So in summation it was a good game regardless of how it stacked up to games that only shair it's point of view, doom 3 still sucks.
