Enter the Matrix is just another example of a movie franchise that had to have a game sequel. Unfortunately, it was slated to appear in the same time with the movie in question, having the producers rush the development and finally releasing a somewhat unfinished game on the market (and if you were to ask me, a bad looking one at that). The game doesn’t follow the adventures of Neo as we might have expected, but in terms, it follows the story of a small character, at least in the movie and it’s used as a pretext for filling some of the gaps in the original script.

The third title in the Hitman series brings Agent 47 back in action. Memories of his past contracts haunt the sedated mind of the hitman and open up paths for new exciting and at the same time dangerous contracts. The dark portrayed targets with psychopathic behaviors create the illusion that 47 is actually a hero of humanity and by his actions, tons of sufferings have been prevented. This is an addition to the series that not only engages new comers in a most captivating quest to finish off the crime syndicate and take out the most important figure, crime lord Lee Hong. The game also brings back memories of the two other titles in the series Hitman: Codename 47 and Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. It almost makes you want to replay those as well.

What you are looking at is the March 2007 edition of the MaUsE DoubleClick monthly newsletter from the Macin- tosh Users East, (MaUsE), a motley collection of mostly harmless cranks who reside in Southern Ontario with their motley collection of old and new Macintosh computers. Unlike previous issues, the March 2007 DoubleClick is published using Quark XPress 7. This issue was created with help from an OWC Mercury Extreme 1.4 GHz G4 Power Macintosh AGP Graphics tower, (with our thanks to OWC), and a 1 GHz G4 iBook. A Kodak DX7590 is used for all pictures. Everything not specifically attributed to someone else can be blamed on me. Back issues can be downloaded from the website.
