Okay, I haven’t actually played Dark Athena yet, but I’ve spent all day playing Butcher Bay.
I woke up at 6 am or so. My copy arrived at noon. It’s now 4 am, and minus 3 hours or so of break time, it’s all been Riddick.
While it has a few small technical issues (occasionally an enemy is hard to hear when speaking, sometimes a little bit of polygonal overlap shows on models), the gameplay is superb, the presentation excellent, the story intense, and the acting great. Butcher Bay itself is definitely a 5/5 game. More detail to come.
