Bug Description

1. Open the Ubuntu Software Center
2. Search for Alien Arena
3. Click the 'More Info' button

There are some spelling and grammar errors in the description:
deathmatch = death-match
32 bit = 32-bit
hi resolution = hi-resolution
hi poly = hi-poly

For the description I think it might be better to add some commas to break up the long sentences.
I suggest:

"ALIEN ARENA is a standalone 3D first person online death-match shooter
 crafted from the original source code of Quake II and Quake III, released
 by id Software under the GPL license. With features including 32-bit
 graphics, a new particle engine and effects, light blooms, reflective water,
 hi-resolution textures and skins, and hi-poly models and stain maps, ALIEN ARENA
 pushes the envelope of graphical beauty rivalling today's top games."

I will add a patch to this report and push my suggestions up to launchpad.
Thanks
Paul

I'm not certain all those words, specifically 32 bit and deathmatch, really need hyphens in them.

I don't think would be really called spelling errors; if anything they'd be grammar errors. And I agree with Brian Murray, I've never seen anything references to as "death-match"
