Matt Damon Wanted Bourne Game to be More Like Myst

from filefront.com .......... Yesterday, Chris reported on how Matt Damon had passed on being involved with The Bourne Conspiracy due to the violence in the game. Now it looks like some comments from the actor himself have surfaced showing that there was a bit more to it than that. According to an interview in The Boston Globe, Damon wanted the game to be more of a puzzler than an action game:

“I lobbied hard…to not make a first-person shooter game but to make it more like Myst, which was a great interesting puzzle you tried to solve - you know, to play with his amnesia or his memory,” he told the publication. “They weren’t interested. They made the video anyway, without my likeness.”

In related news, Matt Damon has never seen any of the Bourne movies. What was he thinking while he was filming all those elaborate fight scenes? “Yes, this scene with me brutally beating a guy to death will surely reveal more about my character’s past?”
