Grab that Game: Geometry Wars 2 (Xbox Live)

Geometry Wars 2 is one of Xbox Live's best offerings.

Geometry Wars Evolved 2 is action packed and crazy.

So what's it about?

Geometry Wars Evolved 2 is the sequel to the game that really jump-started the Xbox Live Arcade when it first launched.  There is no story.  Like many classic games, Geometry Wars is all about topping high scores and reaching the top of the leaderboards.

How's it play?

Geometry Wars Evolved 2 is a twin-stick shooter.  One stick moves you, the other stick fires projectiles in different directions.  While you're moving and firing, you must attempt to avoid enemies that are floating around the "arena" and enemies that are chasing you.  The action ramps up quickly and often gets incredibly hectic.  At times, there's so much going on on-screen that it is hard to tell where you are, but that adds to the feeling of chaos.  Check out how crazy the game gets in the video below:



Geometry Wars Evolved 2 throws in new game modes that keep it from getting stale.  Pacifism, for example, takes away your ability to shoot, forcing you to avoid enemies until your certain destruction.  Waves, demonstrated in the video above, throws lines of enemies at you and escalates quickly.

Why should I play it?

Geometry Wars Evolved 2 is a game that you can just pick up and play any time.  If you have a compulsion to continually top yourself, this game will push you to do so.

How much is it?

Grab Geometry Wars Evolved 2 for $9.99 on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

I'm Erik. I'm a senior at the University of Rhode Island majoring in Criminal Justice and minoring in Cyber Security and Digital Forensics.
I have a long history with video games, which is important when trying to maintain a blog about them. I was introduced to video games through a family friend at a young age. He had a Nintendo 64, and I immediately became a junkie for Goldeneye 007 and Mario Kart. The years progressed and gaming stayed right there with me. My tastes have changed- I love Grand Theft Auto, Forza, and Ratchet and Clank, but Iโ€™ll be damned if I still donโ€™t enjoy a good game of Mario Kart Wii.
With age comes greater responsibilities, and it's become more difficult to find the time to play games, let alone afford them. To accommodate, Iโ€™ve found myself looking for older, cheaper games I can play around with in my spare time. And hey, this blog was born around that exact concept.

My goal is to help you discover great games that don't murder your wallet, and to have fun doing it.
