MUO.com: "I'll admit it, I don't have the patience to figure out complicated RPG games. Give me a brain-dead "click and kill" game, and I'm all over it. So it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that I'm a big fan of the 'First Person Shooter' genre. Even though I'm regularly fragged by 6 year olds across the world, it just goes to show you don't have to be good at something to enjoy it.
So here are my top 5 free cross-platform first person shooter games."
Nexuiz launched as a PC and console game 10 years ago, but the downfall of THQ lead to problems for the inspirational title.
Remember Nexuiz, the arena first-person shooter pulled from Steam three years ago after publisher THQ went bust? It's back.
Developer IllFonic has self-published the game on Steam, where it costs £7.99 (it's £3.99 until 22nd March).
Didn't get around to playing it until after the community died. Great to see it back.
The aftershock of THQ's dissolution continues, as servers for the Xbox 360 version of Nexuiz have been shut down. Developer Illfonic announced the news on its Facebook page, noting that the servers were being run by THQ and "cannot be maintained anymore." The PC servers, however, will remain online courtesy of Illfonic itself.
That's a shame, I loved this game but guess I won't be able to complete the achievements now.
