You've heard of the Matrix right? That's a question that ranks right up there with "You need to breathe right?" in the Captain Obvious realm of questions. If you've never heard of the matrix then you must have been living the last several years under a rock. And not just any rock, a rock on the dark side of the moon. The Matrix trilogy of movies have caused more of a stir than just about anything released in a long while that didn't have "Episode #" in the title. Whether you loved them or hated them, chances are you've heard of them. Naturally anything that popular lends itself quickly to all sorts of merchandising and spin-offs; the least of which is by no means the video game industry.

What better genre to adapt movies based on people unknowingly living out their lives in a virtual world than a MMORPG, where players take on the roles of characters in a persistent virtual world? All things considered this seems like the perfect setting for a MMORPG. There's a great background story that can easily be continued on from where the trilogy left off in the game. A great set of main characters to base the story around. Mega City is a great world to place the story and characters in; alongside thousands of players. There are diverse factions for the players to choose from and aid throughout the ongoing story. This just screams "Make a MMORPG out of me!" Well apparently Warner Brothers and Monolith Productions Inc heard the call. On March 22nd the Matrix Online launched and players around the world took their red pill and jacked in to answer that one question burning in their brains: How deep does the rabbit hole go?
