Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 Has Been Rated
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2—an unannounced game—has gotten a rating by the OFLC (think Australian ESRB). We'll let your brain go through all the implications for a moment. And then we'll say it. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 appears to actually exist. Also of note, the title is designated as "multi platform" in the description. Does that mean we'll see the sequel on PSN...or maybe a portable? Possibly. More »

Frankenreview, Geometry Wars: Galaxies (DS)
With the lackluster releases this week, and considering the reviewers were a bit behind on this title, I figured, what the hell, let's do a Franken on Geometry Wars: Galaxies for the NIntendo DS. The promise of a pocketable version of one of the most addictive arcade titles in recent history alone would have been great. But since Galaxies DS provides a whole universe (OK, maybe just several galaxies worth) of entertainment, we have high expectations for this little portable. More »

Geometry Wars Galaxies Co-op Rulez
I had the chance to try out Geometry Wars: Galaxies co-op way back at E3 and, as I wrote then, the experience was great. It's the sort of "you lean up against me and I'll lean against you and that way neither of us sleeps with our head in the mud" gameplay that I love. On a side note, isn't it refreshing that the industry has finally fully embraced the co-op experience?

Geometry Wars XBLA Sequel Not Coming Yet, Galaxies Delayed
With Xbox LIVE turning five, many of us were hoping for a new Geometry Wars title. And while it would have been an excellent way to commemorate the service, Bizarre Creations community and web lead Ben Ward has squashed our dreams of a last second, surprise announcement:Not true I'm afraid. We are working on more Geometry Wars fun... but you won't be seeing it next week.
Oh well, at least we have Geometry Wars: Galaxies coming soon, right? Nope. More »

Daglow Defines Next-Gen (Hint: It's Wii, WoW & Guitar Hero)
Don Daglow of Stormfront Studios spoke at today's GC Developers Conference on the subject of an oft-abused descriptor, rhetorically asking the question "What is next-gen?" Daglow's definition may differ from the conventional explanation, which is, essentially, the next iteration in a hardware cycle. The founder of Stormfront, whose resume spans at career at Intellivision as game director and one of the original producers at EA, tackled the definition in a number of divergent ways, declaring the hardcore contentious GameCube Turbo (aka Wii) a next-gen gaming system.

Geometry Wars is Not Done with XBLA
Geometry Wars pretty much defined XBLA as a viable platform. So where are all the sequels? From Ben Ward of Bizzare:We're playing our Geometry Wars cards close to our chest right now. As you know, we've just announced Geometry Wars Galaxies for the Nintendo platforms, GW: Mobile for mobile phones, and we've recently released the game onto Steam too....So there's a lot going on but that doesn't mean we've forgotten about the Xbox 360...

verizon exclusive
Geometry Wars Mobile Launched On Verizon
Like Puzzle Quest, soon every gaming device imaginable will have its own version of Geometry Wars. Today we can add mobile phones to that list, as Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved Mobile is now available exclusively on select Verizon Get It Now-capable phones for a mere $6.49. The game features all the fun of the console original (doubt that) along with eight new gameplay modes and online leaderboards."The controls are intuitive and the visual style is true to the Geometry Wars world," said Martyn Chudley, managing director of Bizarre Creations. "The game has managed to capture the essence of the original game, whilst being tailor made for the strengths of the mobile platforms and their audience."
You gotta love a guy who pulls out the 'whilst' in a press release. Great news for Verizon customers. Totally makes up for not being able to get an iPhone. More »

Super Stardust HD Impressions
Super Stardust HD for the PLAYSTATION 3 is a Housemarque developed remake of the Amiga shooter Stardust that will inevitably draw comparisons to Bizarre Creations' Geometry Wars. That's a bit misguided, as the PlayStation Network already has a Geometry Wars clone in Blast Factor. Super Stardust HD should more fairly be compared to classic shooters like Asteroids and Raiden, as it draws from similar gameplay systems. More »

Geometry Wars DS & WII Confirmed
The only Xbox 360 launch game that was still fun to play after the first month is now officially headed over to the Nintendo side of the polyhedron. Geometry Wars: Galaxies first showed up in the last Nintendo Power, but now Sierra has popped a press release our way - tucked conveniently after the jump - officially announcing the game for the Wii and the DS. Doesn't list a date mind you, so we're going to go with eventually. More » -

Free Game: Echoes
The folks at Binaryzoo have a new game to unleash on the PC world. Echoes is a sort of cross between Geometry Wars and Asteroids with lots of flashing lights and pretty colors.

Official Top Ten Sellers of Xbox Live Arcade
Obviously, number one is going to be Geometry Wars. Does anyone with an Xbox 360 not have that game? That's a touch of hyperbole, obviously, but I would guess that its installed rate is pretty decent. So what else is selling big on the Xbox Live Arcade? The full top ten is after the jump. Lists are boring, so for your commenter-types, what casual games or retro games would you like to see on the Xbox 360's XBLA (that's what the cool kids are calling it)? More »
