Fuck GTA4. This is my game of the year.
Ooh, I know what I’m doing tonight!
Geometry Wars is my favorite game of this generation, and it’s not close. Can’t wait.
Looking forward to giving this a try. When they first announced GW2 for XBLA, I wondered if it was going to be any different than the Geometry Wars included in Project Gotham Racing 4 - called Waves. But my understanding is that Waves is just one of multiple game modes included in GW2.
I don’t know why I’m not home playing this right now.
Holy shit this is an addictive game…
Shit, it’s out today? I thought it was next week. To the 360!
Wow, at first I was a little hesistant considering I already have Geometry Wars 1 but after 10 minutes playing the full version that worry went away. This is way more than a graphic and music upgrade. None of the game modes suck and all of them play differently. Totally worth the ten bucks.
Slater’s scores are already ridiculous.
Oh sweet Jesus, I had no idea that this game was coming out today, and so this thread is like waking up from a coma on Christmas and finding out that the sexy nurse has developed the Florence Nightingale Effect.

Preach on. Any one mode is more than enough meat to keep me occupied for hours on end, but to see all 8 games lined up like that, it’s almost daunting just how much gaming bliss I’m getting for the money. This should be a wake up call to all gaming developers on how to make an exciting and downright gorgeous game for less than a $100+ million. Okay, back to Waves.

Yeah, what the hell? I shudder at the thought of where the bar is going to be next week.
Played the demo, and loved the old school feel of trying to beat your friends’ high score. Very nice touch.
Wasn’t sure about the 800 price, as I wasn’t able to play any other mode except the 3 min. timed mode, but I like what’s being said here. I will make the purchase.
Awesome fucking game. Wish it had online multiplayer, though… it’s really missing out on that.

It’s a bit odd, but I’m thinking that there must be a reason for it (technical, budget, etc) rather than just not thinking about it.
This is a game that would get absolutely destroyed by even a split-second of lag. Especially once things start getting insane.
King kind of blows, but I love all the other modes. And I’m absolutely obsessed with Pacifism.
Same here. Who would’ve thought that not shooting would be so much fun? I can’t get that 5 gates achievement, though.
I like King but Pacifism drives me nuts. I end up running into the end of the gates more than the bad guys.
So I didn’t have a 360 when GW1 was all the rage so I missed out on that. Am in the process of downloading 2 right now and I gotta say, just hearing you guys talk about it has me REALLY excited.

Nevermind, just got it.
Is it just me or are these some of the most fun achievements ever? I just wish there were more of them.
I’m just about sick of failing for the Treaty achievement at 28 or 29 but the rest are a lot of fun, yeah. I’m assuming you need to shoot at the gate full-time in order to get the Rebound achiemement. I think I’ve only made it to about 30/75 so far.
The trick with Rebound is to not even bother with the gate until you’re about a minute into Deadline (without dying). Once the board is packed with enemies, you can take out 75 bad guys in a matter of seconds.
And this is probably obvious to everybody, but the only way to get the Treaty achievement is to fly through every ring without stopping. If you pause inside any of the rings, you’re pretty much fucked.
Right thumb is already starting to blister from getting such a workout, but its worth it. The smartest thing they did was add the leader boards to the top of every mode. Nothing gets me more pumped than just barely overtaking Creature Corners top score or getting angry when a friend overtakes mine. I have given up on trying to pass Mantooth though, I am but only a man.
