Game - Star control timewarp
Introducing TimeWarp, a fan created project that intends to create a science fiction war\exploration game based on the Star Control Universe. The project was founded in September 1998 and is acknowledged by the original creators of SC1 and SC2, Paul Reiche III and Fred Ford. Once the project is finished, it will be spread as Freeware around the Internet. TimeWarp is the first Clone to successfully complete a Melee engine with all 25 original Star Control 2 ships available for play. All the ships were created as 3D models and then converted to 16-bit sprites. Melee is fully playable along with fleet selection. All the fleets which come with Star Control 2 have been incorporated, in addition to a new fleet consisting of all 25 ships. Network support over the Internet is planned for future versions. Visit the TimeWarp web site located at http://www.star-control.com/timewarp for more info.

DVD - The Matrix has you, and you have the Matrix
In news, word is out that The Matrix has become the biggest selling DVD title in the history of the format. The title has shipped some 1.5 million units, and sold through some 700,000 copies to consumers (according to Warner's press release). And it has soundly kicked butt on Paramount's bare-bones Titanic DVD. Well, no surprise there. I mean, what was Paramount thinking, releasing a non-anamorphic disc, with virtually no extras to speak of? Sheesh!
