10 Amazing Prison Escape Sequences In Video Games

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay

As a prequel to Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay does more than reveal how Riddick received his signature eyes. It details his numerous escape attempts from Butcher Bay Correctional Facility, whether it’s crawling through the sewers, fighting guards, or crashing into the warden’s office. With gameplay influences like Punch-Out!!, Thief, and Deus Ex and movies like Escape from Alcatraz as their inspiration, Escape from Butcher Bay proved that movie tie-in games could be great, if not a major step above the movies themselves.
