ThinkTanks
Description
In this future, combat tanks are controlled by the brains of former soldiers, to prevent an alien race having to fight its own wars. As one of those soldiers, you have rebelled, and are on a mission to rescue your cohorts.
Three types of tanks are available - light, medium and heavy, trading off speed against armor and weaponry. With tank powerups, boost pads, and shields, you can give your tank a leg up on the competition. Players can engage in a variety of single and multiplayer types of games - single-player missions or quick play, multiple Battlematch and Scrum (a rugby variant with tanks).
All battles are held in different stages of combat arenas spanning various landscapes. From the lush green islands to spooky hollow's and lava lands, the player will traverse terrain that is almost as deadly as their opponents.

The Good
I love the ability to just kick back, join in an online game for a little bit or play solo. It is a great way to kill some time and have a blast doing it! The controls are a breeze to get used to, the graphics are really good, and its cheap!
The Bad
Sometimes the targetting reticule can be cumbersome, but other than that, no complaints!!
The Bottom Line
Great fun if you're playing for five minutes or five hours! I hope everyone has a chance to try out this great game that hearkens back to the games we all grew up with.
