Maybe I'm off base here, but I thought the new "lobby" demo that the new 3DMark uses is not only uncreative-it's silly. It attempts to steal one of the best scenes in an incredible movie, and it rips its guts out. The graphics look silly and can you count the ejecting brass? YA-Neo fired a lot, but standing still, with 2 thousands shell casings?
I'm irritated.

(Also, How much did Kelt Keeves have to pay to get his FalconNW ad on all the load pages?)

Rant/Rave away.

Well, that scene..at least, the shapes, main charcter and general properties, were from Max Payne.

I dunno, I thought it was kind of cool, though I wish, like with the other 'games' they showed, it had a second scene, or that their Neo-Neo actually did some sort of kung fu Matrix thing.

Remember too, the Matrix wasn't exactly original - most of those fight scenes are pretty classic Hong Kong stuff...just with much better f/x's.
