Tabula Rasa's opening cinematic

Reminiscent of Sarah Connor's monologue from Terminator 2, the opening sequence to Tabula Rasa sets the stage for the sci-fi MMORPG. Of course, being an MMORPG, we know the thing won't have an ending, so there's no chance we'll ever be able to finish the fight. But the cinematic sure is pretty and accomplishes the age-old trick of getting us to try the game just because of an over-the-top gorgeous opening sequence.

Hopefully Tabula Rasa ends up being good ... there really aren't enough non-fantasy high-profile MMOs on the market. Other than EVE, we can't remember a single major sci-fi MMORPG since Earth and Beyond -- and those servers were shut down years ago. Tabula Rasa is currently in beta with no official release date yet.
