Advent Rising Is Coming
Advent Rising Ascends Fans of epic sci-fi and action gaming, look up: Majesco today sends the Xbox version of Advent Rising to North American retailers. (The PC version is expected on June 30.) Intended as the first chapter in a trilogy of games, Advent Rising offers flash-whiz-bang third-person action in a storyline developed by acclaimed sci-fi author Orson Scott Card. Developed by GlyphX using Epic Games’ Unreal Warfare Engine, Advent Rising begins with a legend that a powerful, ancient race will one day unite the universe. Millions of cultures from vastly distant worlds revere and hallow these mythological beings known as Humans. One race, the Seekers, know Humans actually exist and are threatened by their potential power. Under the guise of benevolent explorers, the Seekers travel throughout the galaxy in a desperate attempt to eradicate any Human society they unearth. Players assume the role of Gideon Wyeth, a remnant of the last Human outpost, on the brink of discovering the incredible powers that lay dormant within him. Stay tuned for even more on the game, including our review, very shortly.Source: http://www.ign.com
