My next game is different from the other games that I've reviewed. After playing two adrenaline fueled games, it was time for something more low-key and the games on my Android just were not going to cut it. Myst is a game I revisit every few years, and the game itself has evolved since my first steps playing it on my childhood friend Kevin's old Macintosh machine in 1994.
Myst has had two major overhauls, Myst: Masterpiece Edition which was released in May 2000 and realMyst: Interactive 3D Edition which was released later in 2000. The latter is the version I've sat down to play over these past few days. I felt incredibly nostalgic. This game hit the spot.
As reported on Gizmodo, one can now play Quake III Arena on their iPad. Of course there is a catch as the iPad will have be be Jailbroken first, which is apparently legal now. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to play any game that has "free look" as an integral part without a mouse or some kind of controller.
I'd check it out if I had an iPad, but I absolutely do not. However, in my searching I stumbled across a nice little gem for myself: Quake III can be played on an Android phone. I may just have to investigate further and report on what I find.
