Macworld's Game Room is offering a new game review, this time focusing on Tribal Trouble. The unique real time strategy game from Oddlabs takes a light hearted approach to the popular genre with a tale of Vikings versus islanders. The Game Room gives Tribal Trouble 4 out of 5 mice.

From the review:

There are a few other key differences between Tribal Trouble and your run-of-the-mill real time strategy game: For example, Tribal Trouble is funny. Gone are the ultra-serious humans-against-things-from-space or east-against-west motifs so common to the RTS genre. Instead, this game pits red-nosed Vikings against native islanders in grass skirts and Tiki masks. The Vikings, we soon learn, have gotten shipwrecked after tippling a bit too much during a post-plundering celebration. They’ve decided that the best way to get rid of their nasty hangovers is to go a-pillaging. The natives don’t take too kindly to this sort of thing, with obvious results.

Another major difference between Tribal Trouble and other RTS games is its platform-agnosticism. Amazingly, Oddlabs has produced this game for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux operating systems—one registration code lets you play the game on whichever platform you like.
