The Matrix Online

The Matrix Online is a game about real life lived inside a game that you play in real life.

There are actually two types of MMORPGs out these days: the Tolkien-inspired epic fantasy romp and The Matrix?inspired epic sci-fi romp. The Matrix Online is, as you?d imagine, among the latter.

Not just inspired by the films, The Matrix Online is actually being developed by the Wachowski brothers, along with first-person shooter legend Monolith. You play as a mind recently freed from the Matrix and join that all-powerful computer construct as it is at the end of The Matrix: Revolutions. The game will come complete with all the sunglasses, leather outfits, and insane fighting action you?d expect from The Matrix, as well as a download-and-trade skill development mechanic that will have you learning how to fly a helicopter in seconds. Need to fight? Bam! Now you know kung fu!

On top of The Matrix coolness, you?ll also find plotlines that continue the story beyond the third movie; meet characters like the Oracle and, possibly, Neo; and eventually have the chance to take command of your own hovercraft crew. Monthly updates will bring new cinematics, plotlines, and missions.

With any luck at all, The Matrix Online will wash out any aftertaste from the horrible Enter the Matrix. It?s a no-brainer of a concept that, with proper execution, could blast the other sci-fi MMORPGs out of the water.
