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."

  1. Has anyone ever heard of "There"? by TRACK-YOUR-POSITION · · Score: 2, Funny

    From the article: Uru is more akin to the casual online social experimentation offered by games like "The Sims Online" or "There" than the frenzied dragon-slaying addiction that fuels fans of "EverQuest" and its kin. How the heck am I supposed to google for "There"? Has anyone ever heard of this title?
