Not a great deal really...

Batman: Dark Tommorow looked a whole lot better than the one that came out just before it, thought about checking it out myself.

Terminator 3 - I heard "dawn of fate" was a lot better than rise of the machines, but both look ok to me...most of the terminator games have been quite alright, so you've probably got a safe bet there....if in doubt, shop at EB.

The Riddick game, if you mean "escape from butcher bay" or whatever it was, looks really good. I've played a demo, and yeah, I liked it. As I recall, you can switch between fps and 3ps. Nice storyline that links the two films together.

Blade2...No idea, but I'd hope it was a HELL of a lot better than the (IMO) almost unplayable first game.

Run like hell looks interesting, but...that's as far as my knowledge goes.

The only one i've played is Riddick. Very good FPS utilizing a lot of stealth with a pretty good story.

I've played Run Like Hell on PS2. Not a bad game as far as Alien rip-offs go. Nothing original about it, but it's fairly fun for what it is. I haven't played the others, though.

It depends. If you're running a really high-end PC with a $200+ graphics card, then no. Graphics on XBox tend to be slightly better than PS2 or Gamecube, but it's nothing really noticeable.

I played Batman - Dark Tomorrow on Gamecube. Pretty straight-forward, but still a fun game. Nothing spectacular, but I enjoyed it.

- the cat in the hat
Sorry havent played this title

- the chronicles of riddick
Nor this Title

- batman - dark tomorrow
I liked this game, graphically quite good, but it is a little linear

- rlh (run like hell)
Really liked this game, plug headphones crank up the volume & turn out the light (I jumped a couple of times)

- terminator 3 - rise of the machines
This game I hope is better than the PS2 version. Rubbish graphics add slow gameplay

- blade II
I have played worse, would save this for a rainy afternoon then play it
