Myst Online finds a home

The long awaited Myst Online: Uru Live (that’s quite the mouthful, isn’t it?) has finally found a website to call home. It’s about time, too, because I’ve been waiting for some information on this game and damnit… there hasn’t been any. EVIL.

The new game is slated to come out in a mere couple of weeks on GameTap, because GameTap is the bomb, apparently. Everyone is using GameTap. I think GameTap is probably going to take over the world, but that’s just a theory. The game has entered the final beta phase, so if you’re a member of GameTap, you can login to the beta version of Myst Online and take a peak of all the stuff you can do.

I mean, Forbes Magazine says “Forget (World of) Warcraft, Uru Live is the hottest game”. And if Forbes Magazine says that, then it must be true, because we all know Forbes knows EVERYTHING about gaming. Right? I think I’ll stick with Forbes for my business advice and not my gaming advice. Silly Forbes.

Here’s what the Myst Online website gives as a synopsis:

For the first time, you are the storyteller. What happens is up to you.

Always changing and ever growing, Myst Online: Uru Live evolves every day. The game and storyline expands and adapts on a continual basis as players make choices and act and react, creating new experiences for one and all. Explore all the Ages of Uru Live and help forge an entirely new Myst story: yours.

Join in the next evolution of one of the most critically-acclaimed and best-selling video game franchises of all time. Intriguing puzzles, breathtaking worlds, and new friends await you. What story will you tell?

I will tell the story of how I once was mauled by a black bear named Buck. Damn that Buck.

If you’re lucky enough to be living in the US or Canada, you can sign up for a GameTap account and the first month is a mere $.99. YOU CAN’T BEAT THAT.
