Thorn
Genre: Action/Adventure
Platform: Nintendo Wii

Storyline
The storyline in Thorn starts on Earth in 2276, 12 years after the Orbiter Rebellions. Michael Reaver was a Special Forces operative over intelligence at the end of the war, and has just gotten a special message from a friend and former squadmate sent from the 6th planet of a distant solar system. The friend, Andy Weiss, has fallen ill and is on his deathbed. Michael sets out for the system. As he arrives on the planet, he finds his friend executed, and himself arrested for the murder.


Gameplay
While players escape incarceration, travel to other planets, and interact with the local populations, they will uncover a deep conspiracy, as well as mythical beings, creatures, and a dark secret of humanity's past. Players will explore the world from both first person and third person perspectives. They will have access to vehicles, projectile weapons, and melee combat weapons such as swords.

Players will have the choice of experiencing flying levels, stealth levels, action levels, and exploration levels. The game is very open, allowing players to travel from planet to planet, join groups like gangs and religious communities, and even communicate with people in other solar systems.

Extras
Thorn will have a fantasy side to it (as evidenced by the angel in the header image), and will even have magic of sorts... however, as with the angel, this will be melded to science fiction, and not what most people expect.
