What would this day be without some fresh press releases from Sierra huh? Well here they, officially announcing the Gunman Chrononicles product (based on the Half-Life engine) as well as a big $50k Tribes2 tournament. On Gunman Chronicles

As the first stand alone release built on the Half-Life engine Gunman Chronicles expands on all the amazing effects and frighteningly realistic artificial intelligence that made Half-Life the undisputed king of first-person action games. In development by Rewolf Software, Gunman Chronicles is set in the western spiral of the galaxy, five years after a horrifying alien infestation. The adventure leads players to four unexplored planets with an amazing variety of habitats for enemies, features 40+ hours of gameplay, customizable weapons allowing for 32 variations of arsenal, original sound and music, and 30 new monsters to wage heart-stopping battle. In addition, Gunman Chronicles includes multiplayer modes for up to 32 players via LAN and Internet connections.

Gunman was originally planned as a Quake1 TC and is now a stand alone retail product so it's come a real long way.
Also, next year Sierra will be holding the Tribes2 World Domination tournament with a grand prize of $50,000. Tribes from Europe, America and Asia will be competing.
