Ah it's that time of year again, when you're going to be browsing websites or running to the mall for last-minute gift-giving. I mean, really, who does Christmas shopping before the week of? Pfft.
So here's part one of our annual holiday guide. In these pages you'll find hardware and video game gift ideas. Basically we look at our reviews from 2009 and gather them up if our staff liked the products. If you're wondering why we haven't included any of the major upcoming titles, keep in ...
"If you put two and two together, most gamers, or those of a hardcore tendency, are mostly science fiction fans also. Though the fan base for the Riddick films isn’t exactly on a Star Wars scale, upon the announcement of Dark Athena, there was plenty of excitement for Atari’s newest hit, especially from fans of the film and veterans of the previous Riddick instalment; Escape from Butcher’s Bay on the original Xbox."

These are Riddick's first words in Assault on Dark Athena, the sequel to the Xbox 1 game, Escape from Butcher Bay. Riddick (and by extension his real-life counterpart Vin Diesel) hasn't lost any of his gravitas. Despite a five-year layoff, Riddick is pretty much the same character, performing the same actions and delivering the same heavy-handed one-liners.
Starbreeze, makers of the highly acclaimed Escape f..."
