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."
