Cressi Sub Matrix

Advantages: Superb graphics, great sound/voice overs, interesting missions, and very complex
Disadvantages: Needs a lot of patience, difficult AI, slow movement of graphics, and no multiplayer

...The first submarine simulation game I played when I was a kid and despite its retro status, I still find myself playing it once in a while. Even though I mainly played the Amiga version when I was a kid, the Mega Drive version is literally the same and I'm currently trying it out again years later through an emulator. Plotline Taking place during the Cold War between the USA and the Soviet Union. 688 Attack Sub uses the what if scenarios and shows the worst what could have happened all those years ago. Starting from minor threats between the two countries and eventually turning into a world war. Gameplay The entire interface gives you that instant feeling that you're inside a submarine and in total command. As you can see from one of my pictures, there are several stations that need to be commanded and waiting for orders... Read review

...The Matrix stars Keanu Reeves as Neo, a normal 9 to 5 worker who secretly does computer hacking on the side. One night, a mysterious woman named Trinity seeks him out and introduces him to Morpheus, considered a terrorist by the government.

The internet was booming, mobile phones were no longer only tools for the wealthy... Read review

...? instalment in the ?Matrix? trio. It was in my second year as a 3D effects animation student that the original ?Matrix? came out and, unfortunately, I never made it to the cinema to see it. Not so with it?s highly anticipated sequel (sorry, I don?t subscribe to the trilogy ethic), I was determined to go and go I did, after trying but failing to sidestep all the hype, trailers, sneak previews etc, which in my opinion can be detrimental to the impact of a movie, and were in this case. Recommendation I?m not going to do the standard plot run down here; the film makes the assumption that you?ve seen the first film, so will I. God help any cinema goers who haven?t who walked into watch this on spec as it?ll have made very little sense at all. This is the continuation of the resistance to the robot/computer dominated world, moving forward along... Read review
