[Christian IV]

Riven is quite a remarkable work, has something of a really deep sense of its own reality and even some building up of tension in the story line and the graphics are lovely...I have played and studied the Myst series in detail and posted on them at various times, and have gone through ups and downs with them, URU has been the latest I have looked at and has actually the most potential I think but some like RIVEN are quite lovely. Aura has, I agree some very nice parts, and overall is quite good, but I found some of the others on the list somewhat formulae in effect, and Schism is a bear to get at times...and a little too weird slimey alien for me, I like the cleaner alien environments, but that is just me. Interesting list and fun topic.
