Looks very fun. If it was perhaps $40, I'd buy it right away.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Apparently if you buy the Wii version you can download the Xbox Live geometry wars (which is a single level of the new one) onto the DS from the Wii version. That's awesome.



That guy, like, is a totally, like, awful presenter. The game looks spiffy, but I don't know if it's $50 spiffy.



God I love Geometry wars. I own the Live version, I'll probably end up getting the Steam version, and I'll more than likely get the DS and Wii versions.



please price this at $29.99.

it's funny about people's preferences, i'd buy BBA at $49.99, but no way this at $49.99, or even $39.99.



the Wii is an epidemic.

Info from Joystiq The handsome devils over at Gamespot recently spent some time with early builds of Geometry Wars: Galaxies on both the DS and the Wii, and walked away happy with what they saw, even in the games' nascent stages. According to their preview, both versions feature a level structure, with solar systems divided into planets, and each planet being one playable level. Both the DS and Wii version will also include the full content from Xbox 360's Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, but Gamespot reports that that content amounts to one planet, in proportion to everything else offered in the game. Other juicy details include cooperative multiplayer, and wireless sharing of a multiplayer DS demo of the game. The DS version can actually share a full copy of Retro Evolved wirelessly with other DSs, but perhaps what's more exciting is that the Wii version can do the exact same thing, making Galaxies the first game we know of to offer Wii-to-DS wireless downloading. The preview also gives some detail on control schemes. The Wii version has players using the nunchuk to move the ship, with the Wii remote functioning as a cursor to indicate the direction being fired in. The DS version, on the other hand, uses the d-pad to move the ship, and the stylus to aim and fire. Gamespot has also included video coverage of the Wii version, so we'd encourage you to head over and check it out. Both versions are due out sometime later this year, but impatient folks can still find Retro Evolved on Xbox Live Arcade, or Geometry Wars XP on Steam.
