Nexuiz coming to XBLA and PSN in 2010

Remember those old-timey fragfest FPSes? The ones that got your mouse-palm all sweaty as you reduced opponents to giblets and sprays of viscera on poorly textured arena walls? A new (old) one is set to hit Xbox LIVE Arcade and PSN. It’s called Nexuiz, and if you’re familiar with the PC scene, you may have checked it out.

Developed now by IllFonic, Nexuiz is the kind of teeth-rattling FPS experience that isn’t too common on the downloadable platforms. It was originally an Alientrap Software open-source joint, but now IllFonic is taking it to the next level, polishing up the visuals and ostensibly making it a console-friendly experience. Expect it to hit at some point in 2010.
