Now I'm confused. Tigon a part of Starbreeze, other way around, or 2 separate things?

I think it's encouraging that a game can earn a great reputation and do pretty well in sales even without a big marketing push and faith from the higher-ups.

Shows that quality can still shine through.

and claims he isn't "the meat-head action start" he is often portrayed as. - eyes on the ball, EG.

@ menage - Tigon is not part of Starbreeze; they are a small development studio set up by Petrol to overlook his game projects, presumably on a Producer-style level for when he is working on a movie and can't actively oversee the project. I think it's good that a Hollywood name like Four Star is actively interested in games like this; perhaps it will one day help bridge the gap between games and movies, and allow the 'core' end of the medium to be taken a little more seriously.

Well there was public shock that this game was any good, I remember reading this http://www.penny-arcade.com/2004/05/31/a... ages back.

What I wonder is, would the game have been less popular or more popular if it was released with a generic action hero and a generic name? (I'm looking at prototype/infamous here)

I like Riddick games and movies, both has this 80s feeling - violence is fun;]
