geometry wars

Well now why would I be doing a review about such a small title? Well you underestimate the power of geometry. Geometry Wars is the most downloaded game on the Xbox 360 (so i hear) and is available on Steam for as little as the price of two goes on the DDR machine (thats four dollars).

I do like a good arcade shooter so I thought I'd give it a shot.

I have to say it's quite good. If you've ever played a game called "Mu-Cade" then that's a good comparison to this. But I also have to say if you took away the flashy effects and the really cool "mesh-wave" effect in the background.. this game might not be as interesting. I play it just to see how the effects of my new and improved blaster, will interact with the background mesh.

and of course with something as cool as that you've got to have a black hole or two, just to see what happens!

Yeah this game is pretty dam hectic, and the weak of heart might just a have a seizer... or two, but it's worth the risk. Of course game play consists of shooting things, and blowing things up, but were not playing this for the storyline, that's for sure.

and although it does chug a bit when my video recorder is in effect, it moves very quickly.

It really is your standard shooting gallery kind of game, but for four bucks... I'll take it.


Heres a small sample of the game, the only thing is, the music leaves much to be desired, so i added one of my fave's. Look away if you start to blink a lot



by the way if your wondering why I didn't rate this, it's because I don't think it really deserves to be judged, I just think its a good value.
