Alien Arena 2007

[cro-man]

Those of you looking for a free game (c'mon, don't pretend that you're not) - look no further than Alien Arena 2007.

v6.05 of the free full game has just been released, for Windows and - in a move sure to impress some of you, for Linux as well. You can also grab the "Accessories Pack", if you're into that sort of thing.

But what is Alien Arena 2007?

According to their own description, they are:

An independently-produced FPS, one in a series of standalone games based on a classic Sci-Fi theme with a modern, updated visual experience.

...which is all well and good, but what does it actually mean?

First released to the public in October 2004, nearly every aspect of the game has been revamped and redone, 2007 even sees an almost total overhaul on code and content from the 2006 title - the improvements almost making it an entirely new game. You can expect 37 levels, five playmodes, built in bots, six mutators, eight weapons (with alt-fire modes), ten player characters and an almost endless supply of replayability.

The game is described as being perfect for gamers who enjoy rich, colourful arcade-like atmospheres, like a bit of fast-paced deathmatch and aren't put off by some retro sci-fi. It combines aspects of Quake III and the classic Unreal Tournament, bundles them together with some original ideas and a bunch of old-fashioned aliens, and ends up with a unique title.

UPDATE:

We've just uncovered a stash of AA2K7 screenshots! They weren't kidding when they said the look had been revamped - check these out for a taste!
