Advent Rising is a game I remember coming out right when the big titles like Halo Combat Evolved and Mass Effect were taking the gaming world by storm. Sadly the game was overshadowed by the other two titles and was left to collect dust - never to be taken back up by any other gaming company and continued as the in-game story was left to have a continuing trilogy.

Description
A common legend pervades the galaxy-that of a powerful, highly intelligent ancient race that will one day deliver the universe. They are known as Humans.
Some claim they are the messiah. Others believe they exist only in the imaginations of the young. The Seekers, however, know Humans exist and believe they are an enemy that must be destroyed. Under the guise of benevolent explorers, Seekers comb the universe and eradicate any Human colonies they find. Until now.
Working with award-winning science fiction author Orson Scott Card, GlyphX Games has created a gripping storyline that will thrust gamers into an incredible intergalactic saga.

It got mediocre to bad reviews and it completely flopped. This game should in theory, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ suck. But for some reason I kind of like it. Yes the
