Suit up, lock and load, and get ready to pop someone full of…paint? If you're still smarting from that lopsided Halo 2 death match in which a bionically adroit nine-year-old kept smacking you in the face with a rocket launcher, virtual paintball is for you. Greg Hastings’ sim keeps things democratic by sending everyone in with only their paintball guns and their wits. Choose from over 179 field layouts across 19 tournaments to test out the game's hair-trigger controls in surprisingly fun online seven-on-seven team showdowns. Paint well enough and you can soak in the spoils of victory by acquiring licensed gear for your virtual paint-gunner. Heck, you can even cheat: Press your button fast enough when you get hit and you can wipe off the paint and keep playing. If professional baseball players can do it, why can't you?
