Nexuiz
Luckily, you generally don't need to know how to pronounce a game's title to write about it.
The new online arena FPS, called Nexuiz, and powered by CryENGINE 3, offers up hot sci-fi action and over 100 Dynamic Mutators. What are Dynamic Mutators? Well, they are power-ups (or downs) that will allow you to do everything from executing super-powered melee attacks, firing your weapons abnormally fast, to using jump jets. However, it can also offer negatives, like stealing away your ability to see colors. Honestly, I'm only assuming that's a negative thing. It sure seems like it would be though.
Nexuiz hits the Xbox Live Arcade On February 29 for 800 MSP ($10.00). It hits the PSN and PC later this spring.
