Neo for a Day: The Matrix didn't end when Keanu and that big robot face worked out their differences. Oh, no, the Matrix Online videogame picks up right after the sequels, but this time you can't complain that they suck--because you're in control.

MxO, as it's known, is what nerds call a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (or MMORPG). That means hundreds of thousands of people who have no business wearing leather bodysuits log in to a virtual world, build a character based on Matrix lore and start dodging bullets. It's driven by supercomplex storylines involving the Red Pills, Exiles and the Machines, all overseen/orchestrated and (essentially) directed by Matrix masterminds, the Wachowski brothers.
