TRIBES 2

Tom's Review: To adequately explain TRIBES 2, you need two reviews: one for people without GeForce cards, berating Dynamix for making a game that runs so poorly it's nearly unplayable; and another for people with GeForce cards, holding up TRIBES 2 as team-based online combat at its level best. We already wrote the former. Now you're reading the latter. Once I put GeForce cards in my machines, TRIBES 2 finally became a viable entity. I used to have dreams about jumping really high and soaring over rooftops, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon-style. Now I just lightly tap my middle finger on the right mouse button and let my jetpack carry me over lush textured terrain, fantastical weapon effects, and some of the best multiplayer gaming since id invented the concept.
