If this new "Desperation" trailer for The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena doesn't get you excited about Starbreeze's upcoming continuation of the Riddick saga, then this probably isn't the game for you.

In the trailer, the Diesel-powered Riddick ponders the nature of desperation, or does the best that he can considering the limited resources he is working with . "Where there's desperation, there's opportunity", is certainly a true statement. Not so sure about the whole, "I'm hell's messenger" bit though. I mean, if you're killing people all day, wouldn't you be more of a delivery boy? Unless the gameplay consists solely of you sneaking up behind people and whispering, "Hell says hi" and then running like hell, I cry foul.
