Advent Rising is a third-person action game developed by GlyphX Games. The story was created with the help of science fiction writer Orson Scott Card. Players control the human Gideon as he seeks revenge for the destruction of the human race by the Seekers. Another alien race, the Aurelians, unlock hidden powers within Gideon that allow him to break out the superhuman stick. Through repeated uses Gideon will grow more deadly with the weapons and abilities he possesses. A choice made early in the game will determine which set of cinematics the player will see as they progress through the game. This choice also has a major impact on the end of the game. Your planet has been destroyed and your friends are dead. Time to take out the alien garbage.
I actually prefer the WideScreen=True switch. It removes the black borders and stretches it vertically, then I run it at 1280x960 (not 1280x800) with my video drivers set to "monitor scaling" witch stretches it horizontally and corrects the aspect ratio.
