I saw this same full page ad in PC Gamer magazine (which is one page out three for GameTap in both magazine and comic book).

Interestingly enough, there are no GameTap/Uru ads in the January edition of PC Gamer.

I stopped buying PC Gamer after reading its review of Uru. While some of the points it raised were valid problems, they seemed to pick the person in the office who hated the Myst Franchise THE MOST to review it. Seriously the guy had the biggest chip on his shoulder, probably since he never got into any of the places of protection years ago and was left wandering around Myst Island.

Also Uru Live was sidelined to a tiny bubble which said, and I'm paraphrasing here:

"Ubisoft want us to mention that there is an online extension to Uru: ABM which gives you new content and story updates but why anyone would want to prolong the experience is beyond me! lolz!!!!!!!!111oneone2phi"

That's just sick! Mad

They even can't give a proper review anyway, because Live hasn't even started yet... they're just reviewing ABM it seems... Evil or Very Mad

We should send them a link to TGT's documentaries! Maybe that'll clear up their mind... Mad

I believe Dan is talking about the review PC Gamer gave Uru about 3 years ago Smile

Ah, okay... Smile

I have a Dutch magazine edition of a few years ago, wich has a really good review fortunately, even with a interview with Rand! Smile

Unfortunately... I didn't know anything about Myst/Uru at that time... so I didn't value the interview much.... now I do. Cool

I can still remember the last lines of that interview...
Rand said something about Live, that it was very cool or something and the article closed with something like: "Normally we would call that a sales pitch, but seeing the twinkling in Rand's eyes, we know it's true.". Smile

Yeah the UK Edition. I could probably dig it out, that was about the time I moved to "the big city" so chances are its still in the cabinet next my bed back at my folks. However I think posting it would just serve to make everyone feel mad and aggrivated. I know it did me when I read it.
