Even the involvement of a sci-fi legend and the obvious aping of Halo couldn't save Advent Rising from being a thoroughly mediocre action game. Read Review
Advent Rising is a third-person, intergalactic action/adventure epic, akin to a fast-paced action movie where the player is swept up in an ever-evolving series of sequences and events. Built on Epic Games' Unreal Warfare Engine, Advent Rising offers up the 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.

Advent Rising is a high-concept project by a low-profile developer. Utah-based game studio GlyphX, headed by the charismatic Mustard brothers, has been toiling away on its sci-fi epic for quite a while. It's been almost a year since Advent Rising has been shown to the press, following a somewhat underwhelming showing at E3 2004. Now, GlyphX and publisher Majesco have broken their self-imposed embargo, and I recently got a chance to check out a much newer build. I saw a game that was starting to live up to its creators' grand promises, and came away with real hope that Advent Rising might just be worth getting excited about. Read More »
