It is no secret that the Wachowski brothers first conceived their virtual-reality philosophy and kung-fu epic as a video game. And that the first Matrix video game, Enter the Matrix, was as much about expanding on the story of the first two movies as it was about driving and shooting puzzles. So it is completely in keeping with the Wachowskis that despite their having ended the movies with the third, they are now carrying on the story of the Matrix in video-game form with the launch of The Matrix Online.
