VIN DIESEL's TIGON STUDIOS and GAMING CORPS GEAR up for SEPTEMBER 20TH RELEASE of “RIDDICK: the MERC FILES” “Riddick: T VIN DIESEL’S TIGON STUDIOS AND GAMING CORPS GEAR UP FOR SEPTEMBER 20TH RELEASE OF “RIDDICK: THE MERC FILES” “Riddick: The Merc Files” will be available on iOS through the Apple App Store Los Angeles, CA – September 16, 2013 - The original Designer of "Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay" and team members behind "Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena" are back, and in collaboration with actor/producer/director Vin Diesel and his Tigon Studios as they announce the release of "Riddick: The Merc Files”, the first new installment in the ongoing Riddick saga. "Riddick: The Merc Files" is a touch-based stealth action game for mobile devices, designed to give a high quality mobile game play experience. Set in the Riddick universe, closely tied to the latest movie "Riddick: Rule the Dark.” The game allows the player to become Riddick, the iconic anti-hero, and avoid the mercenaries that hunt you across the stars. Escape them, trick them, or eliminate them. It's your choice. “We are excited to be working with some of the original key Starbreeze team members behind previous Riddick games in order to expand the canon of the Riddick universe. The team has captured the essence of the franchise, and applied an originality of design to the mobile platforms” said Cos Lazouras of Tigon Studios The game features situation-based game play, where you'll need to quickly adjust to every possible scenario. If you are careless, mercs may find the bodies you leave behind and become alerted to your presence. If they do, sometimes an all-out attack may become necessary. The controls are designed specifically for a mobile format. You control Riddick with two fingers on one hand, making the game accessible without losing any game play depth. “To tonally match the latest Riddick movie, the mobile platforms are perfect for the game play experience we wanted to deliver, which is one of Stealth-Action combined with an ‘all hell breaks loose’ shooter. The game will evolve and expand through updates to provide an intensive layered experience to the player” said Jens Larsson, Creative Director of Gaming Corps and Lead Designer on Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. New content packs are to be released regularly; including new levels and brand new core features like traps and lures for Riddick to control his environment.

  • Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena Guide
    Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena Guide Riddick is a baaaaad man, in both senses of the word. He's bad as in bad-ass, and bad as in bad enough to get thrown into the roughest prison in any galaxy, Butcher Bay.

The events of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay precede those of the movie Pitch Black, where the Riddick character made his first appearance.

  • Some Old Movie Reviews – David Herrle Film Review Of
    some old movie reviews – David Herrle Film review of Phone Booth (2003) Directed by Joel Schumaker Starring Collin Farrell, Forest Whitaker, Katie Holmes, Radha Mitchell, Kiefer Sutherland Rated R Length 80 minutes Summary Stu Shepard (Farrell) is a media consultant whose bark is worse than his bite. Basing his business on lies and subterfuge, he even lacks scruples in regard to his marriage. Stu is working on graduating one of his cuter clients, Pam (Holmes) into mistress status. (She doesn't know he's married.) After calling Pam from the usual payphone (so her number is not detected on his cell phone), Stu picks up the phone again when it rings. On the other end is a patient-voiced man who turns out to be the voice of fate. Soon Stu realizes that the voice belongs to an off-kilter sniper who seeks to force confession of deceit and lust out of him and deliver an execution bullet as just punishment. Stu cannot leave the phone booth, tell the crowd or the surrounding police what is really happening to him, and he cannot fast-talk his way out of this fatal deal. Review Stu is cocky, dishonest, glib and brimming with pretense and propped appearances. Barely disguising his Bronx upbringing, Stu seems to have convinced himself that he can convince others that he has everything "together." Farrell fills the role perfectly within the film's first few moments. From the moment Stu enters the phone booth the stage is set: the film takes place only here till the end. This is where he will be prodded and manipulated and taunted by a conscience-like voice.

  • Arnis. Boosts Fil-Ams. Sense of Pride
    ‘Arnis’ boosts Fil-Ams’ sense of pride - 10/04/06 http://services.inquirer.net/print/print.php?article_id=24667 Inquirer Headlines / Nation http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view_article.php?article_id=24667 ‘Arnis’ boosts Fil-Ams’ sense of pride By Volt Contreras Inquirer Posted date: October 04, 2006 CROSSING land bridges that once linked the Philippine archipelago to the Asian mainland, ancient fighters introduced to Filipinos a form of martial arts believed to have come from India and now called kali, eskrima and arnis de mano. Yes, those rattan canes -- and the graceful moves that make them lethal -- are that old, according to generally held notions as to the origins of the Pinoy warrior art. With a deep sense of history, a Filipino-American based in California since the late ’60s considers his mastery of kali (considered the pre-Spanish name for arnis or eskrima) as a bridge to the country of his birth -- and hopes that more Fil-Ams would join him in paying ambidextrous homage to their shared cultural roots. Arnold Noche has been taking time from his business each week, driving up to 48 kilometers from his home in the Gardena suburb, to conduct two-hour training sessions for kali enthusiasts of all ages at Filipino community centers in Los Angeles. “There’s something about a stick in the hand that is very Filipino,” noted Noche. Noche and other “backyard” eskrimadors started the Kali Klub project in 1999 and have since taught an average of 250 students a year, around 90 percent of them Fil-Ams aged 5 to over 40.
