Dean Gordon wrote an article in the 'review' section at GamesDomain listing out the 10-or-so computer games which captured him and led to his current addiction to gaming. Although this article is old (Jan'00) it does list Myth: The Fallen Lords as one of those games and he goes on to compliment it in the following passage:
Myth was the first modern game to truly blow me away. By the time Bungie delivered the goods I would say that I was a pretty jaded gamer. Been there, done that. Seen everything. And after seeing all the hype about how this "Braveheart-wannabee" would be the "next big thing", I was even more skeptical. But after a mere 30 minutes on my hard drive, I was convinced I had touched the face of God (or it was a really excellent game; one of the two). Stunning graphics. Amazing pure tactical gameplay. But what really warped my fragile little mind were the multiplayer (m/p) aspects of the game. Up to this, I had only dabbled in online m/p. But the first time I logged onto bungie.net and played King of the Hill and giggled in joy at the unfolding beauty of the raw carnage, I was hooked. Truly one of the rare instances where reality has met and exceeded hype.
Again, it's a dated article but nonetheless poignant (using my SAT words today). This is a nice 'semi-tease' to new things to come here at m.b.o. so stay tuned...
