Some of you may remember two free multiplayer-only first person shooter games released for the PC, CellFactor: Combat Training (2006) and CellFactor: Revolution (2007). Both games were designed as tech demos for the PhysX hardware chip before that company got bought by Nvidia in early 2008. In 2009, CellFactor: Psychokinetic Wars was released via download for the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles. The main hook of the game is that in addition to weapons, player could select from three different classes, each with its own telekenetic powers.

Now the game has finally been converted over to the PC platform and released with little fanfare over at Direct2Drive. The game appears to be a fairly straight port of the console title with 10 single player challenges for each of the three classes and four multiplayer modes with support of up to 16 players. You can get the game from developer Immersion Games and publisher Timeline Interactive for $9.95.

Immersion Games, the designers of the PhysX-powered CELLFACTOR: Revolution, have unveiled a new studio based in Guadalajara Mexico, reports GamesIndustry.biz..

The new studio's location was chosen to support the Immersion studio currently operating in Bogota, Columbia. In addition, the Mexico Immersion studio will perpetuate the country's burgeoning games industry by exploiting "initiatives from the government," according to GI.biz. Finally, due to Immersion Games' continued growth, the new studio will also help carry an increased workload, as well as create an original IP.

Also the developer of the PS3 title Monster Madness, Immersion Games is currently at work on two unannounced projects: an FPS, and an arcade title.
