Keepers is a weekly segment in which I discuss games I’ve played that I’ve seen fit to keep after playing. I generally sell a game that I’ve finished, so the only reason I keep one is because I plan to replay the game some day. Classifying a game as a “keeper” is generally a badge of merit.

When game developers design games based on movies, they’re nearly always train wrecks. The only movie-based games I can think of that were better games than E.T. for the Atari 2600 are The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay and the recently released Ghostbusters game. Aside from that, there’s Enter The Matrix.

When I was writing a list a few months back of five poorly rated games that I enjoyed, Enter the Matrix was one of the first games that came to mind. Aside from the apparent existance of magic, the second Matrix movie wasn’t as terrible as a lot of people make it out to be. It certainly had some amazing action sequences. Playing a video game that tied in so neatly with that movie was a lot of fun, and the movie footage that you could view only by playing the game added quite a lot of value.

I’ve still got my copy of Enter the Matrix, and I like to think that maybe some day I’ll go back and replay it. I’ll leave you with my favorite video clip from the game. Enjoy.
