G4BOX Inc has announced that it has signed a publishing deal with Neowiz to bring its award-winning Online FPS game, Cross Fire, to North America and the United Kingdom. Under the terms of the partnership, the game will launch in the fall of 2008.

"We are proud that Neowiz chose G4BOX to bring this leading FPS to North American and U.K. gamers," said Howard He, Chief Executive Officer of G4BOX. "Cross Fire is an innovative and compelling FPS and we look forward to making it a major success."

Cross Fire boasts an unique system which allows the game to run smoothly even on low-end PCs. The game has proven to be a huge success in Korea where it first launched in 2007 and in mid-March of this year, Cross Fire was the first FPS to launch its open beta in Vietnam. Within three days of the launch, the number of Cross Fire concurrent users reached 62,000 with more than 1.09 million subscribers in total.

This turn-based strategy offering, a remake of sorts of the 2004 game, is a good value at 20 bucks and packs a surprising amount of finger tapping strategy.

The only critical flaw with Mass Effect is the amount of unrealized potential in a game that gives us the first truly great sci-fi RPG in more than a decade that didn't depend on a franchise property. It has action, it has a compelling story and it even has a little heart. It's the type of game that every RPG fan should play.
