RiSE is a network that solves two problems: to give game developers the resources and tools to design, develop, and distribute commercial quality games, and to give gamers a central platform for all their gaming needs. RiSE accomplishes this with the RiSE client software.
Think of RiSE as a gamer's operating system. It acts as a shell and puts all the features you need into one area. From chatting with buddies with full IM support of all major networks worldwide, browsing the internet, listening to music, checking your email, and more, RiSE puts the most commonly used programs into an easy to use and customizable system. We then take the greatest features of gaming such as community chat and forums, gaming magazine, marketplace, achievements and player ratings, and of course high quality games, and put them directly in front of you. The end result? A system that allows you to have the gaming community at your fingertips, and no need to go anywhere else.
