Launching February 29th as part of the Xbox Live Arcade ‘House Party’ promotion, with late arrivals on PC and PS3 digital download networks scheduled for the spring, Nexuiz is a modern take on old school multiplayer first-person twitch arena shooters, fueled by CryENGINE 3 tech to bring added visual pop to the game’s futuristic Victorian art style. Chief among the game’s list of features are Dynamic Mutators, over 100 power-ups players will be able to grab to activate special abilities. Uber Melee adds an explosive wallop to melee strikes. Color Blind turns the graphics black and white. Jet Packs, well, they’re self explanatory. Here’s a trailer highlighting some of these slick mutator powers, plus a handful of new screenshots.
Nexuiz is developed by IllFonic and published by THQ. It will sell for 800 Microsoft Points.

In 2004, three years removed from high school and still looking for a career direction in life, Matt landed his first gig in the video game review business writing for the now-defunct website BonusStage.com. After the sad and untimely close of BonusStage, the former staff went on to found VGBlogger.com, and after a short stint as US Site Manager for AceGamez Matt turned his attention to VGBlogger, and to this day is dedicated to making it one of the top video game blogs in all the blogosphere.
Matt is a fair-minded reviewer and lover of games of all platforms and types, big or small, hyped or niche, big-budget or indie. But that doesn't mean he will let poor games slide without a good thrashing when necessary.
