My quest to regain my lost love for the Matrix franchise ended in dismal failure. Enter the Matrix is still one of the worst games ever. But at least The Animatrix isn't bad. That quest was disappointing.

This leaves me in a bit of a dilema. What sci fi franchise can I get back into? After the recent cinema debacles, Star Wars has left a bad taste in my mouth, so to speak.

But I have found it. A chance run in with a novelization made me remember just how much I love Wing Commander. And aside from the movie(what videogame movie ever doesn't suck?), it has remained consistenly awesome. Wing Commander 3 is one my favorite games ever, and I've found that the fanbase is not only very active, but very hardcore. And a bunch of nerds, did I mention that?

Wing Commander rules.
