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."
