Has anyone seen Real Myst yet?  Woooooooooooooooooow.  They have a nice 
reflection "trick".  I'm pretty sure they make reflections by creating a 
translucent cloudy plane instead of a "reflecting" mirrored plane, and 
then extend the reflected object (flipped around of course) into the 
area behind the plane.  It's a stunning illusion.

The game also has very slick atmospheric effects.  Nice clouds and 
stars.  Pretty incredible.

that to be self-contented is to be vile and ignorant, and that to
aspire is better than to be blindly and impotently happy."
