A nice surprise to start off the day, a demo for Starbreeze Studios’Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athenahas hit Xbox LIVE today.

The 639 MB demo lets you play the Athena Main Decks level, which takes place during the first portion of the game. You’ll get the opportunity to control a drone (seen above), which Riddick can pull in close to use its gun to take out enemies, and its body for cover. Of course, the demo is for Gold members only, so pony up if you want to play.
