GameTap Claims Uru, Sam and Max
ThPhox writes "Uru has returned. Uru was originally released three years ago, but was canceled while still in beta testing due to a lack of funding. Shortly after it was canceled, Cyanworlds released a patch for the single player game called Until Uru, which allowed players to play for a small fee, without any new content, on player run servers. Originally supported by Ubisoft, the new Uru Live is supported by Turner Broadcasting's Gametap service." Next Generation has the related news that GameTap will be offering the episodic Sam and Max titles from TellTale Games, when those are released. -
Uru Resurrects Fan-Operated Multiplayer Shards
ToriaUru writes "Over at Cyanworlds.com, there's now a newly launched Until Uru page, providing fans with all the information they need to download a new client and/or create their own server for the canceled online part of Uru: Ages Beyond Myst. Thanks to all the hard working people at Cyan who made this happen!" We previously reported on Uru Live's cancellation, and the Until Uru FAQ, along with a 'giant gnarly disclaimer', explains the downloadable add-ons are "enabling independently run [fan-maintained] servers that any client can connect to... this is not URU Live" - though there is a "nominal fee" of $5.95 for player authentication for those who want to try the service. -

Uru - Ages Beyond Myst Analyzed
Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a CNN article discussing the comeback of Myst, in the form of Uru:Ages Beyond Myst. This real-time 3D adventure has been worked on for over 5 years at developer Cyan Worlds, and contrary to earlier impressions, evidently isn't an MMORPG in the conventional sense - the article says that "When it hits stores this fall, Uru will include a single-player mode that won't require an Internet connection. For a yet-to-be-determined monthly fee, players will be able to join others in the online version."
