This is not a review. I am not a game reviewer, as that title implies completion. I rarely finish games, and when I do, it usually happens a year or so after first playing the game. Instead, I can offer you some impressions. Today's impressioneering will offer up Geometry Wars 2 for your reading pleasure.
Geometry Wars 2 (or Geo Wars 2 to the cool cats) is a twin-stick shooter released for the Xbox 360. This game was released a year or two ago, and is one of my favourite XBLA titles.
The gameplay is rather simple (probably why I like it so) with the left stick moving your ship, and the right stick giving you 360 degree control on the shooting. You kill an enemy, and it will drop a little sesame-seed thingo which increases the multiplier and therefore increasing the points you can earn. There are 6 different modes including Time-trial and Survival. The best thing about this game (apart from addictive gameplay) is the leaderboard battles with your friends, as this game definately stirs up those competitive juices (I'm leading the Time-trial mode BTW).
Check out this gameplay trailer:
Geo Wars 2 can be downloaded from the Xbox Live Arcade, and costs 800 space bucks ($10?). There is also a free trial for download too.
Also.... I must add that I really hate those green diamonds!
