American McGee's Grimm
''American McGee's Grimm'' is a 23-part episodic video game series based upon ''Grimm's Fairy Tales'', designed by American McGee, developed by Spicy Horse and distributed online initially by GameTap starting July 31, 2008.

''Grimm'' is written and executive-produced by the same person as ''American McGee's Alice'', R. J. Berg. The original announcement was made in the June 2007 issue of ''PC Gamer''. Spicy Horse Games is using Unreal Engine 3 technology for ''American McGee's Grimm''. There are 23 weekly episodes, divided into three seasons of eight or seven episodes each.

The game has been referred to as "highly accessible" and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Uru Live

Like ''Uru'', ''Myst Online'' takes place in 2000s New Mexico, where an ancient civilization known as the D'ni once thrived. The D'ni had the ability to create portals to other worlds or Ages by writing descriptive books of the Age. Players uncover clues and solve puzzles together; plot developments were added via episodic content updates. ''Uru''s multiplayer segment was delayed and only shipped with the single-player component initially; in February 2004 the multiplayer was scrapped entirely. Dedicated fans kept an unsupported version of the game alive through Cyan-maintained servers. Online game distributor GameTap resurrected the game as ''Myst Online'' in 2007, but this version was canceled due to a lack of subscribers despite generally positive reviews.
