K2 Nework is adding a new title to their free-to-play online gaming network, GamersFirst. The game is Splashfighter, a casual 3D fighting game with a wide range of customizable options, as is common to free online titles.  There are also a number of creative modes included, including a soccer mode, an unusual option for a fighting game.  Splashfighters is popular in Asian countries (I'm guessing it's big in Korea) so hopefully it'll gain a strong following on K2 Network.
