Riddick Gets Map Pack, 'Commentary Mode' DLC
by Chris Faylor, May 21, 2009 2:02pm PDTTwo new bits of downloadable content for Starbreeze's The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena were today released for the Xbox 360 version of the shooter.
Currently only available to Xbox Live Gold members, Commentary Mode is a free download said to add four and a half hours of developer commentary to the single-player Escape from Butcher Bay campaign.
Meanwhile, the Premium MP Pack delivers five multiplayer maps--"Munity" (Butcher Bay Riot), "Sneerock" (Deathmatch), "Tracker Star" (Capture the Flag), "Viper Run" (Butcher Bay Riot) and "The Tangle" (Pitch Black)--at the price of 800 MS Points ($10).
No word yet if these add-ons will be coming to the PC and PlayStation 3 editions, though the PlayStation 3's online PlayStation Store should receive its weekly update shortly.

Amazing how they are able to push away so many customers.
I wonder how their PC sales charts are doing... I was so keen on buying this, if those idiots would actually sell the game instead of lend it.

I got a hold of Dark Athena a few weeks after release, after it had sold out in local brick and mortar stores and all major UK E-tailers for PC in the first day of sales. Which I guess goes to show just how little many people are perturbed by DRM, despite the typical claims. Anyway, I had a total blast with it and am yet to replay the revamped EFBB campaign, which is probably another 10-15 hours of great gaming right there. I didn't somehow eat up 10 installs during my time with it, DRM didn't rape my baby and I'm sure we'll see a revoke tool for the installs before I'm even close to using up the allotted number for it. If we /don't/ then I should be eating my words, as DRM would then be a genuine concern for me. But it seems to be becoming a trend that a revoke tool is released after the initial sales period, which makes DRM almost a total non-issue for me.
Not being pro-DRM here in any way, just offering a counterpoint to the tired arguments I see all the time. Change the tune or STFU for god's sake, we've seen it all before.
