COR Entertainment, LLC announces the release of Alien Arena 2008, a freeware, opensourced FPS!

This game is the followup to the critically acclaimed Alien Arena 2007, and features nearly all new game media, gameplay improvements, and a client that has been signifigantly upgraded for improved visual effects as well as major optimizations that greatly improve the fluidity and performance.

Alien Arena 2008 also offers a change to it's overall theme, moving towards a slightler darker, more serious tone, while still retaining a good bit of it's retro style, creating an interesting marriage between classic and modern sci-fi.  This resulted in completely new player models, many new weapon models and textures, and seventeen, yes, seventeen new levels!  The transformation is nothing short of remarkable.

There are major improvements in weapon effects, per-pixel lighting, texture resolution, and resource usage, as well as the addition of a cross platform server browser, FUSE.  Weapons have been tweaked for better balance, and movement has been enhanced with the addition of dodging abilities.  Alien Arena 2008 will run on Windows and Linux, and the OSX/Mac port will be released in one week.
