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."

I got a 360 as well about two months ago. I bought nine games total... all the best reviewed greats. I even downloaded the Halo 3 demo (really, really sucked... control issues, weapon feedback sucked, generic feeling weapons, bad graphics, bad gameplay, etc). I just couldn't get into it. I like guitar hero 2 and played crackdown and gears of war for about a couple of hours each and that's about it. The rest seemed kind of "kiddish." The controls just didn't do it and most nights I fell asleep with the controller in my hand on my recliner. I can honestly say I've never done that PC gaming.

Needless to say, I sold the system about two weeks ago. $700 for guitar hero just wasn't worth it for me. Still keeping my Wii though
