Online gaming requires a strong Internet connection, a suspension of disbelief, and a commitment to the destruction of pacifistic alien nations. Shelve moral codes for digital ones with today's Groupon: for $10, you get six one-hour gaming passes to The Matrix Gaming Centre (up to a $30 value).

The Matrix Gaming Centre hosts virtual friends and foes alike in its 2,300-square-foot facility, packed with computers on which players can select from more than 100 online, local area network (LAN) games. Players team up with friends, family, or familial postmen, or go it alone and take no pixilated prisoners in a shared digital world, populated with game categories that include action, sports, strategy, simulations, and RPG on both PC and XBox 360. The one-hour passes don't expire, so customers can spend six hours destroying the undead with Zombie Master or take six days to casually master intergalactic combat with Star Wars: Empire at War.

The Matrix Gaming Centre is open Sunday–Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. and hosts Midnight Madness on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 p.m. until 8 a.m. or until the real-world zombie apocalypse requires patrons' full attention.
