Everyone in the office is excited about the coming release of Tribes 2, and that excitement has reached fever pitch with the arrival from Sierra Games of the Tribes II beta code. Now none of us have had a chance to look at this highly looked forward to game, but you'll be able to get all the dirt in issue 4 of atomic MPC in late April. In fact, I'll probably sneak a peak myself and give you an idea of what it's like before then.

Other games that have gotten the atomic crew hot are Clive Barker's Undying and close to final code of Serious Sam. Undying is an atmospheric horror/adventure game that has had poor Bennett terrified out of his wits - and loving every minute of it - while Serious Sam has Ben relishing the days of the old-school first person shooter, where physics meant circle strafing, guns were big, and double-barreled were the be-all-and-end-all of cool.

Reactions are also mixed about the latest iteration of Counter-Strike . The new models, in glorious 512 x 512 textures, look marvelous, and the new maps are reported by Tim as being 'real big'. Unfortunately early testing suggest that the new accuracy mods when jumping are very underpowered, with bunny-hopping AWPers still being able to dominate on some maps. We'll continue this grueling testing as time goes on.
