What are the most successful/biggest torque game projects to date?

I'd like to download/play/study/buy them.

What are your favorite torque games?

Thanks!

Ranger - To date the most successful Torque games are here in the Garage. Marble Blast Gold, is probably the most successful, but ThinkTanks is a close second, Orbz, RocketBowl and just around the corner is the DH: Lore Invasion release (which has been in EA and is available still for only $24.95).

I guess you could include all the games from Dynamix that were built with the technology behind Torque (Tribes, Tribes 2, Trophy Hunter, Trophy Bass 4, Front Page Sports: Ski Racing). There are a number of titles in development that have created a lot of buzz over time and some we know about that we've agreed to not disclose.

@Ranger: Also, if you look at the front page of gg.com, you can see the top 5 selling games, which are Marble Blast, Think Tanks, Bridge Const. Set, GISH, and Orbz -- but I don't know how updated that's kept.

Wow! I just can't choose!

I want to buy 1 game, but I can't decide between:

1) Mutant Storm (Runs great, very fun ~ Not on the huge scale like Lore)
2) Marble Blast Gold (Runs great, repetative gameplay ~ Lots of levels = Lots of playtime)
3) Lore (kinda runs a bit too slow, but I love it ~ Really long load times)

Rocket Bowl was my favorite, but I beat the entire demo in 20 mins (the 3 levels included and I got over $1100), and there was only 7 levels in total. Are more included with the full version, or is that it?

There are many more levels in the full version of Rocket Bowl and they get alot more challenging as you progress.

Wonderful! Then Rocket Bowl it is!!! Thank you!

Oh, and I'm gonna assume that it has more expensive bowling balls to choose from... than displayed in the trial (not just available in the trial, I'm asking for more than the displayed amount... for the levels as well as the ball selection)?

For instance, there are 7 levels 4 of which are locked. Are there more than 7 levels? Lets say that there are 10 bowling balls, 6 of which are locked. Are there more than 10 bowling balls?

Mutant Storm is not a Torque Game, unfortunatly.

Well, regardless, it's an indie game published by GG. ^^

Actually George there are some serious performance enhancements and other great improvements coming out with Lore Invasion. If you purchase now, we can allow you to gain access to this new version (just like any other registered Lore owner can) just by contacting us and letting us know.

A little birdy told me just a few days after the middle of March.
