Advent Rising Trilogy
While watching the trailer for Advent Rising my wife yelled from the bedroom, "What in the heck is that?!"
That, my dear, is the sound of the trailer for the coolest looking game I've ever seen.
For those of you who haven't heard, this is the game that Orson Scott Card signed onto after the creators showed him the story bible. Basically, he wanted to take part because they didn't need his help. The story, the graphics, and the gameplay are apparently so mind-blowing that it should be the biggest game of the year.
This CBS news review (CBS does game reviews?? Who knew??) gives a nice wrap-up:
Forgive the comparison, but if you could combine the RPG (Role Playing Game) elements of KOTOR (Knights of the Old Republic), the cinematic and great story scaling of the Lord of The Rings trilogy, mix in a little Metroid Prime, with a touch of Aeon Flux (a really cool animated cartoon that aired on MTV years ago), might get close to what Advent Rising offers its players.
And my wife says, "Oh, that's nice."
