PC IGN has taken a 'first look' at Myst III: Exile, the upcoming title from Cyan (makers of the original Myst and Riven games) and Presto Studios (creators of the Journeyman Project series). IGN covers the few basics known so far about this adventure game and offer a little background information on the previous two titles in this series. In this excerpt, they explain how Exile will stand out :

Fans have been clamoring for a new adventure in the Ages of Myst, and now it seems that Mattel is finally responding with Myst III: Exile, which takes the same interface of the first two titles, and adds 360° of visibility by allowing you to pan around yourself completely in any location. You can expect similar puzzles to the first two titles, but with even more integration, thanks to advances in technology. Atrus and Catherine return in movie form as well (they recently finished filming the video scenes in the Bay Area), with Rand playing Atrus once again, despite the fact that he's not directly involved with the third game's development.
