Cut Down In Their Prime: Cancelled Game, Part One

Gamecloud has published the first installment of a new feature entitled "Cut Down In Their Prime: Cancelled Game", in which they offer a quick overview of several games that never made it to store shelves. Included on the list is Black Isle's TORN, Origin's Ultima Worlds Online, Microsoft's Mythica, and EA's Ultima X: Online. A snip about TORN:
This game from Interplay's Black Isle Studios would have used the Lithtech engine. It received a ton of hype beforehand, but rumors stated that there were internal problems at Interplay that lead to the game's cancellation. Interplay itself continued to limp along afterwards but a few years later shut down their internal Black Isle Studios. While technically Interplay still exists they have not released a game for two years now.
