Uru Goes Episodic

The canceled series is yet again back to puzzle us all.

Today GameTap is launching “Familiar Voices,” the newest episode in “Myst Online: Uru Live.” Players can now continue the journey that has featured to date – all-new puzzles, content and Ages as seen in recent episodes “Scars” and “A New Light.”

“Since launching in February, Myst Online continues to be one of our top titles at GameTap,” said Ricardo Sanchez, vice president of content and creative director for GameTap. “One of the strengths of the game is the commitment of the community, whose interaction and feedback has a direct impact on the direction of these new episodic segments.”

In “Familiar Voices,” the newly-elected D’ni Restoration Council (DRC) releases its first Age – Jalak. Though Cate Alexander has been elected to lead the DRC, there still remains a power struggle within the Council which begins to spread throughout the cavern. Rumors of a war continue to grow, but a voice from the past returns to offer new hope.

During this latest episode, the never-before-seen Age of Jalak will be released. Jalak features an ancient arena that was once used for D’ni competitions and will allow players to compete and even create their own games.

Indiana Jones is back, in Lego form!

Lego Indiana Jones

Ah Indy, you’ve given us joy and adventure for years. You may be old now, but your visage will forever been in our hearts… in block form. Yes Traveller’s Tales has announced yet ANOTHER Lego game to be released. Besides Lego Batman and Lego Star Wars, Traveller’s Tales is going to be developing an Indiana Jones Legos game based on the first three movies. Not much is known about the release itself, but expect a Wii, 360, PS3, and perhaps a DS and PSP release sometime next summer.

The game seems to follow the tried and true format of the last two Lego Star Wars games, with focus on Indy. I’m certain there’ll be more characters to play as and extensive use of Airplanes, Horses, motorcycles, and even Indy’s Whip through out the game’s three stories. Again, not much is known, but the trailer LucasArts released shows a few small segments of gameplay with Indiana swinging on vines, shooting his pistol, and running from a boulder. Looks like fun, but I hope it gets released with Online Co-op like they’re doing with Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga.

Music Videos – Now Playing

One of the most requested items in The Pipeline’s lineup was music videos. It has taken us a while to figure out how exactly to do this and I’m thrilled to be able to finally release it! All of our music videos can currently be found in the Music – Lyrical show. This show also includes audio versions of many indie artists!

Remember that it’s you who drives what kind of content goes onto The Pipeline. So if you want something that isn’t there let us know!

Please note that this show is randomized so you may have to skip around to find the new videos.
