j0hnyb1423 writes "Salon is running a "preview" for the next GTA title: Grand Theft Auto: Myst. You have to watch a short ad to see the whole article but it's well worth it. From the article: "Obviously, compromises had to be made. For example, if you've played "Myst" before, you know that go-go clubs are scarce and that there's no Little Havana, per se. Similarly, in "Grand Theft Auto," the only reason you might find yourself in a library is because you're hiding from the SWAT helicopter. Balance was key: Just the right amount of urban development -- followed by just the right amount of urban decay -- was needed to create a picturesque dreamscape that could also credibly be swimming in guns.""

Sodding Salon's sodding registration thing doesn't work --- the 'free pass' button isn't clickable. On my browser, at least. Someone hurry up and post the text.
(And people can't understand why these jump-through-a-hoop-to-read-the-article systems annoy people so much... half the time they don't work! I've simply given up trying to register the NYT, for example.)
