Geometry Wars: Evolved is a BLAST!

Woah! What an X-Box Live Arcade game that one is! Geometry Wars: Evolved is easily the BEST XBLA game out there!

In Geometry Wars, you're this spaceship dude, who can blast his enemies from all sides. You move with the left-hand thumbstick and you fire with the right-hand thumbstick, which gives you the ability to fire from all angles. This game is difficult but within the first 100,000 points, the game is pretty easy. Once you get passed 100,000, they'll be new enemies and trickier ones at that. But also, once you rack up multiplier, like between 5-9, you start racking up the points like you'd never expect.

There are weapon upgrades which you'll first receive at 10,000 points and then you'll get more as you gain points. You start off with 3 lives and 3 bombs. The bombs are used for destroying all enemies on the screen, but you don't get points for doing this; what you do get though is the fact that you just saved you're own ass(haha). You get an extra life every 75,000 and an extra bomb every 100,000 points. That might seen like a lot of points you have to get just to get an extra life or bomb, but trust me, when you have like 10 multipliers racked up, then you'll be getting like a life and bomb every min or something(haha).

Geometry Wars gets extremely intense fast, once you're at the 100,000 point mark, because enemies start coming at you from all angles and you'll totally surrounded by enemies trying to kill you. There is one enemy however that you need to watch out for; he's kind of like a clone of you but different... he's red and when he's coming at you, and you try to shoot him, he blocks you're attack and shoots it back at you. The only way to destroy this enemy is to shoot him from the back or side.

What's interesting is the fact that Geometry Wars only costs 400 Credits(X-Box Live Points) which is about $5.00 or so. Not bad for an extremely fun and intense game.

But what will make this game second place is when FINALLY, when Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting is available on X-Box Live Arcade, which should be released sometime in March. Hmm, I wonder how much this game will be?
