After playing Advent Rising, I can't say I agree with the 5.7 rating, I'd give it more like a 7.7

First of all, the Story IS really good, the graphics are ok in game, and beautiful in cinematics, the music is expertly crafted and the gameplay.....well, is simply just not groundbreaking. Although fun during some points, the gameplay has a choppy camera, instances of lag, occasianally unbalanced gameplay, glitchy enemies, and a targeting system that the camera will follow EVERYWHERE, which makes this game not-so rock solid, and not what I hoped it to be. Oh, and it should've been longer too. But enough of my babbling, maybe i'll write a full review some other time.

About this Sunday night, I am seeing some of my favorite bands, Dream Theater, Megadeth, Nevermore, and others live, it is going to be freakin' sweet!
