    You can now get Geometry Wars on Steam for just $2.50. I think it's pretty cool if we are to see more of games with micro prices on Steam. I am really against that all new games has to be set in the same price range, why not let there be different games for different markets.

    I am so buying this, mainly because it's like no money anyway.

    It's what they do on the PS3, cheap games you can't refuse. Super Stardust HD is on there for like £4. How can you not buy it?

    And sadly that's the best use of a $600 console...

    So now I actually got around to try it and I must say it's exactly as I expected it to be, in a good way. It's very arcady, simple and action packed. Overall it seems like a good buy after 5mins of playtime:)

    it looks awfully shit.

    I wouldn't just spend money because something is cheap, because 95% of the time it's cheap for a reason :S

    Well it's really well rated Rick_D and I'm surprised you missed the immense hype it's had, but I think it's more of a casual impulse buy that'd pleasantly surprise than anything to get excited about. Possibly not quite so suited to the PC in that respect.

    Interesting reviews but I would imagine it would only appeal to those gamers that liked that kind of thing in the first place.

    I used to enjoy games like this on the megadrive but now I feel I want something more to spend my time on.

    It looks like it'd be a good game to play with some friends maybe, but as I don't have any friends ...

    Every Extend (Extra (Extreme)) is within the same vein if you like this, only instead of shooting enemies you blow yourself up next to them, hoping to create enough points in the chain reaction to get your life back.

    Exactly guys, why play Half-Life when you can just continually go through Quake again and again. Oh, screw Dr. Mario, just play Tetris. While we're at it, forget Contra when you have Gunstar Heroes. Also, screw UT, Quake 3 is all you need.

    In fact, let's completely toss out variety, as that seems to be at the core of all this...

    fmp you can be an asshole sometimes but you dont seem to notice.The way you express your crits is often offending and not constructive. I just want to point this out so you can reflect about your attitude problem. No offence.
