In each of our features, you'll learn a little more about these weapons and vehicles. Giddeon's super powers include Negate (shield / force field), Timeshift (speed power), Surge (force push / weapon suck), Aeon Pulse (energy blast / energy burst), and Shatter (enemy freeze / shatter). All super powers and weapons offer primary and secondary alternate functions, giving players a huge number of combat options. In our third features, we take a look at a one of Giddeon's superpowers, one vehicle, and one weapon. The locked reticule can be switched to another enemy by simply flicking the analogue stick in that direction. The camera is still mapped to the right analog stick, but by 'flicking' the stick in the direction of an enemy, players can lock onto that character. The targeting system is called 'flick-targeting.' It is primarily used to provide gamers the freedom to focus on combining devastating attacks rather than worry about the camera and targeting reticule. Players can wield a weapon in each hand with the Left and Right triggers mapped to each gun. It's called a third-person action-adventure title (whatever that means), but the word 'shooter' is key. Advent Rising has the potential to be a truly great game. Working with award-winning science fiction author Orson Scott Card, GlyphX plans on telling an original branching storyline in which the players' actions affect the story's outcome. Offering players both third-person and first-person camera perspectives, this sci-fi fantasy shooter uses the Unreal Warfare engine, generating massive landscapes with vivid color and articulate detail. One in which the supposedly dead race of humans reach a new height in power, strength, and intelligence.

Mixing technology with myth and religion, Card's story puts humans at the center of the greatest myth of all-time. And the story is pure science fiction goodness. Advent Rising is the first in a planned trilogy of action-adventure games starring central character Giddeon.
