Isn't Myth Myst that slideshow game where you spend the entire game exploring the island, and then ...

Spoiler for Hiden:

... as a reward for freeing the father, he lets you explore the island?

I can't imagine why his sons killed him.

Well, Myst is, yeah.  Myth, though, is a game from Bungie that was real time strategy and was extremely cool.

[CeeKay]

damn, I think we'll see Indigo Prophecy on sale tomorrow as it is CRUSHING Alone in the Dark:  10546 vs 5847 currently.

[CeeKay]

Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy won, leaving in the dust.

[CeeKay]

and the round 3 winner is Postal 2 Complete, with Serious Sam: The Second Encounter coming in... err.... second.

[Hrothgar]

and the round 3 winner is Postal 2 Complete, with Serious Sam: The Second Encounter coming in... err.... second.

What happened there?  Did people confuse Postal 2 with Portal 2?

that's what I'm thinking 

Arx Fatalis beat out Gothic in round 4.

[CeeKay]

Round 5 belongs to The Last Express, while Broken Sword places second.

[CeeKay]

in Round 6 the mercs of Jagged Alliance 2 successfully fend off the assault by the aliens of UFO Afterlight.

It's funny, I was thinking about Myth and how it was so much cooler than Myst as I was writing it.

Looks like it bled into my post.

I remember the dwarven keg units that actually changed the ground when they went off - I never got into Myth though - and I regretted playing Myst. It almost stopped me from playing another adventure game with a similar, though VERY DIFFERENT, theme : Phantasmagoria.

I have never been able to look at a trowel the same way since.

Round 7: Sacred Gold is not as heavenly as Divine Divinity.

[CeeKay]

wow, The Witcher got beat by Two Worlds.  I guess everyone already has The Witcher, so they voted for Two Worlds instead.

[CeeKay]

the final round is up, with two games that are going to be released tomorrow up for voting: Torchlight vs The Chronicles of Riddick.  whoever wins will be 60% off for the next 7 days, and the loser will be 40% off for the same amount of time.
