Nexuiz (2012 video game) explained
Nexuiz is a first-person shooter video game developed by IllFonic and published by THQ for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360. It used CryEngine 3 and it is based on the original free game Nexuiz (due to the name having been sold to Nexuiz, the free game continued its development under the Xonotic name[1] [2]). The servers for the Xbox 360 and PC versions were taken offline in February 2013 due to the closure of THQ.[3]
Reception
Nexuiz received mixed reviews. GameSpot praised its price and fast pace,[4] but Game Informer wrote that as a "haphazard port" of an old mod for an old game, it added little to the genre or original concept except for charging players.[5]
