...Maria Bello), teenage son and kindergartenish daughter -with a gentle authority. Tom is the quiet, good-humored sort of fellow small-towners are proud to call one of their own, especially after he thwarts an armed robbery of his business by two vicious thugs. Thanks to his surprisingly adroit gunplay, they're dead and he's a hero, with a sudden fame that makes him uncomfortable. His unease escalates when some other toughs, led by one-eyed Fogerty (Ed Harris), drop in, declaring that Tom is one Joey Cusack, notorious gunslinger in a Philadelphia mob, and insisting that...

...live up to the hype created by this commercialized ghetto gangsta ethos. Since defending their rapper’s authenticity equates to defending their own livelihood, these no-talent friends, who either are already quite gangsta or willing to learn, have no problem engaging in knife-work, gunplay, or fisticuffs against other crews in order to keep their man out of jail yet on top of the gangsta rap heap.

...from. In Butcher Bay, the bald, bass-voiced badass Riddick has just been locked up in a high-security sci-fi slammer, and he's hell-bent on shivving and shooting his way out of it. Game play is a tasty mix of hand-to-hand fighting and gunplay, relieved by some smartly scripted role playing and problem solving, but the real pleasure is the stunning graphics: everything looks old and rusty and grungy, as if each frame had been individually hand-distressed and then moodily lit by David Fincher.
