Myst and Tolkien
Berendir @ 17:17 EST

A fan sent in this interesting news about an article that points out some similarities between the game Myst, and Tolkien's world. Heres a piece of that article:

: "I'm thinking of it now like Tolkien. First he did The Hobbit, which revealed to him the possibilities of creating a world. So then he did Lord of the Rings, which was infinitely richer and bigger and more held-together. It made more sense. Riven is our Lord of the Rings. I don't mean as good as, I mean that's its relationship with Myst.") Rand nodded. "We all feel like that. Myst is what it is. It could have been better. This has to be better."

The fan who brought this to my attention also mentioned Brad Dourif (Gollum) will be in the game Myst II.
