XP Geometry Wars on Steam

Steam now features Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved for Windows XP, offering the PC edition of Bizarre's console shooter to far more PC owners than the previous release, which was a Windows Vista exclusive. Word on the inexpensive ($2.50 through this Friday) game is that DirectX 9 manages to reproduce the game's spiffy graphics as well as DirectX 10 does: "The debut of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved for Windows XP delivers a pixel-perfect recreation of the game that has captured the attention and acclaim of console gamers and critics alike. The game has received multiple awards for its old school shooter style remixed for the 21st century with next generation graphics and deep, modern gameplay."

Between this and its competition (at least, on the 360), Mutant Storm, I think I'd hafta give the nod to Mutant Storm.

Oh hell yeah! Mutant Storm is 10x the game Geometry Wars is. Hell.. maybe 100x

It's ludicrously difficult in some regards (multiplyers/belts are FAR too difficult to build up and maintain, IMO), but whatever -- the base game is just brilliant. I love that old-school 'memorise the level' feel it has.

Definitely worth checking out the demo for anyone who hasn't already.

I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now, even though you broke my heart and killed me.
