To celebrate the release of Tribes:Vengeance, Vivendi releases the two previous Tribes games ... for free !

Tribes 2 surely is worth it ... good gameplay ... but they're both quite old games, so don't mind the graphics. (although tribes 2's are still good)

If you got a $100 around, you can buy the Torque Engine from garagegames.com. That's a damn good deal because the engine's pretty customizable and easy to use. [addsig]

http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/tribes2/ for Tribes 2, in case you miss it. They seem to have run out of CD keys for the sequel though, which is a shame....hopefully they'll have more up. [addsig]

Wow, you sure? I was working on a game with some people last year utilizing the torque engine. If what you say is true its a good thing the game went no where.

Hmm I don't really see why the content is owned by garagegames, then ... you did buy the engine, aye ?

You sort of contracted it - even if its a dated engine, ?100 is a steal, I don't think you pay your ?100 and thats it. Its not as simple as "they own your stuff", but there is some clause that stops you making 100% of profits from any ventures I believe. [addsig]

Actually, the correct term would be, you "license" the engine. You aren't flat out buying it from them, but simply paying for the privilege of using their technology.

and you're paying for the resources, too.
