Review It's no secret that we at Daily Radar as well as many other publications were not fans of Myst, Riven or, most recently, realMYST. The illogical puzzle design and lack of any sort of conclusive ending turned many off. One thing's for sure, though: Regardless of our opinions about the gameplay, the graphics were drop-dead gorgeous. For this third time through, we're hoping that the puzzle structure and overall gameplay get a massive overhaul -- because if a game that looks this good has gameplay to back it up, it'll be a winner.Through five entirely new Ages, Atrus and Catherine are back for more adventures that take place 10 years after the end of Riven. They stumble upon a race known as the D'ni, who were responsible for the first game's Books. The D'ni civilization has fallen apart due to prejudice and greed, and Atrus hopes to help them rebuild their civilization. As expected, though, things go awry as mysteries from Atrus' past come back to haunt him in the form of a new antagonist bent on revenge.We have no playable code, but the screenshots prove that once again, the folks working on these games make stunningly beautiful scenery. Here's hoping that the gameplay catches up to the graphics when Myst 3 Exile ships in April.
