This is due for release in Feb 2006 and looks like a worthwhile addition to anyone's gaming library.

In Advent Rising, a common legend pervades the galaxy-that of a powerful, highly intelligent ancient race that will one day deliver the universe. They are known simply as Humans.


Some claim them to be the messiah, believing they will one day come to deliver the universe into harmony. Some simply see them as a symbol for eternal hope. Others see them as purely fantastical creatures existing only in the imaginations and storybooks of the young.


The Seekers, however, know that Humans truly do exist and see them as an enemy that must be destroyed. Under the guise of benevolent explorers they comb the universe and eradicate any Human colonies they find. Until now.

The storyline has been worked out with Orson Scot Card. The soundtrack is by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir AND the Los Angeles Orchestra

It supports Dolby 5:1 and looks very nice.

I noticed that last night. Apparantly the beta copies came with free bugs. Hopefully by the time it gets here they will be sorted out.

Hey, off the top of your head do you think this beast can run Guild Wars ? Or shall I e-mail you the specs.

If memory serves I believe your graphics card might be a bit underpowered.

AH SOD

Well, it's out. Trouble it's twenty five quid on Play. I would ask She Who Must Be Obeyed for my borthdee. But I discoverd yesterday that we need a new bathroom radiator. Hey Ho....

Finally picked this up second hand at the weekend. I'm now really glad I didn't pay full price for it

Its a shooter.

With all the possibilities for a brilliant adventure or rpg available (first contact, growing powers, friendly aliens) they decided to write a Halo rip off.

Frankly I'm amazed at OSC's involvement in the project. He had the opportunity to 'sell his soul for rock n' roll' but decided that 90's Brit Pop would do just as well. I couldn't be more gutted if I'd picked up TEKKEN (THE BELGARIAD) Learn Silks stupendous 'rob em blind' combo.... I could go on but I'd start to froth.

Anyway, it's pretty, the music's all I hoped, but I am not a happy bunny.

(perhaps I'll have better luck with Dark Corners of the Earth the Cthulu game I picked up at the same time)
