Alex,

I'm hoping that ATVI can make a buzz about Zork Grand Inquisitor.
I'm expecting Riven to take away a lot of ZGI's thunder. Hopefully
the reviews for ZGI will make up for some of this. The two will
undoubtedly be compared...Personally, I didn't really like MYST all
that much. It was cool and a beautiful game, but I sort of expected DOOM movement. Zork Nemesis and its 360 views were a step in the right direction and the full-motion video made for a rich experience.

Riven will be more of the same MYST interface. Apparently, there will be motion in the pictures...running water, etc...something that Zork Nemesis also had a little of. The screens will apparently be photographic quality which should be cool to see, too. From what I hear about ZGI, however, is that the full motion video is pretty amazing...It'll be funny to see some of the old-time actors, too.

Oh well, I'll probably get both. I just hope the rest of the world does too!
I'm counting on my ATVI investment to provide me the means to keep
this little "hobby" going!

Good Luck!

Tom
