Another preview has come in for Myst DS:
| QUOTE | | Players that already know how they feel about Myst won't change their minds about the DS version -- for better or worse, this is pretty much the same Myst we've known for all these years. |
The article mentions once again the use of the stylus instead of the point-and-click mouse, but does not mention any difficulties with that system, as reported in the European version of the game.

No Comments

A blog post at The Age discusses system selling games:
| QUOTE | | A system seller is the kind of game that makes people gasp and say: "I've got to have one of those" regardless of the cost. It's often because of a significant leap forward in graphics, but can also obviously be because a game offers something unique, never seen before, or appeals to an entirely new audience. |
The author lists some examples of system sellers, Myst being one of the ones to get a nod on the PC side of things.

| QUOTE | | The more people that know about this, the better. We're not talking "Doom" or "Hitman" level of quality here. This movie would focus on plot, and character--the hallmarks of a good movie. These guys are on the right track. They just need the public to be interested in Myst again. |
