Definitely aimed at a more patient crowd than the majority of other recent entries for Sony's console, Presto Studios and Ubi Soft jointly hope that it will be as well received as it looks. Headed our way in mid-September, the puzzle-heavy, FMV-stuffed PC hit Myst III: Exile appears to be coming along nicely. Top it all off with Ubi Soft's console-friendly DARE Sound Engine and USB mouse support, and you have the makings of an adventure every bit as appealing as the one you could find on a hard drive.

Ironically, Atrus himself allowed Saavedro his chance at redemption, as he and his wife Catherine have regained contact with the D'ni, a species of being whose wisdom allows them to create special linking books (novels that allow the ages to be connected). Hiding away on Atrus' Ages (entire worlds that reside within the scribbling of special books), he has bided his time and chosen now as the point of his revenge. Centered on the tale of a bitter world orphan (portrayed by Childs Play star Brad Dourif) Myst III follows the exploits of Saavedro, a man whose home was destroyed by the sons of Atrus and Catherine (characters that were originally encountered in the first game). ![]() While the storyline still follows the same basic premise as the previous two, it still has a flavor all its own and can stand by itself without needing a history lesson in the importance of Achenar.
