For those that know my gaming habits pretty well, I am known as a fairly well versed gamer. I put in as many hours in a yearly iteration of Madden as I do a JRPG, my selection of racing games is rivaled by my selection of shooters, I have obscure puzzlers, platformers and character action games in a library that I have lovingly accrued over my adult life. But ask me what game I would drop into the hands of a person new to gaming and also for those who love all games, the answer is almost always Geometry Wars. Its twin stick controls are as easy to pick up as a basic platformer. One stick to move, one to shoot, don’t die.
ThisGenGaming says "Check your Xbox One ready to install lists if you have Geometry Wars Evolved as the game is now backwards compatible on the Xbox One. Geometry Wars Evolved originally released as an arcade title in 2005 on the Xbox 360."
This was on the list since day one...
It was the first title that I downloaded and played to test out Backwards compatibility, when it was only available in the preview program.
I think I did that the night of E3 when they announced it was going live to all preview program participants.
Did they take it down at some point and it's just now coming back?
Maybe it's been gone and I didn't realize it because I already had it downloaded, but it was definitely there from the beginning for me.
Edit: Yeah that is exactly what happened. It never made the final list, it was just in the preview program.

Um, yay? I mean, it's great for those that have the game but this is another title that really isn't too high on the votes I don't think.
At the very least, an update on titles announced months ago would be nice.
If MS is getting permissions for these small titles then I wish they would get Sega's Sonic All Star Transformed.
It's time they made a sequel to that wouldn't you say? Idk if sales were that hot for the last one though... Idk maybe they were.
I would love a sequel more than anything. But I don't think it did do that well especially since they released more content on the mobile version and nothing for consoles.
If they can't do a sequel then at least make it BC.
is it me , or does it look washed out on X1? like the brightness was turned up too much?? it doesnt have that crisp vector line pop like it does on the 360.....
Looks fine to me but I'm just going by memory.
I didn't load up the original to compare.
Let's be fair for a moment. Shoot 'em ups (shmups) made in the last twenty years have been labeled many things - boring, repetitive, old-fashioned, unfair, and purely dependent on memorization. This all made the genre stop growing until it was only appealing to a certain niche market.
Trying to break the mold without breaking the core of what makes shoot 'em ups fun, the team behind Roche Fusion worked hard to create a game that can bring back this genre for mainstream gamers. Since the team consists of two different generations, we were easily able to take what people loved about the shmup genre and combine it with all the things they currently love in newer genres.
This week's HUNT brings you Matt vs. Jeremy.
I nearly went mad trying to get the "wax on-wax off" achievement in Geometry Wars 2 but I spent dozens of hours on those games.
Geometry Wars 3 hits 11/25......
OMFG!!! Prepare to get wrecked... This is my game...
Check out the leaderboards on Retro Evolved 2 for Xbox 360... I bet I'm still up in the 200's on a few and in the 500's on a few... and I haven't touched that game since at least 2012, hell I don't even have a 360 anymore...
Geometry Wars coming to PS4/PS3 is a BLESSING!!!!!
Waves was my shit... Not a single person I know in real life can be me at this game.. Obviously people I don't know are better than me..
But not a single friend can get close to the high scores I put up.
In my town I'm in a league of my own.
