Worthplaying Preview: Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2

Worthplaying reports:

''Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 offers six gameplay modes: Deadline, Evolved, King, Pacifism, Waves and Sequence.

In King mode, you can only shoot when your ship is located inside of dynamically generated circles. The circles disappear, so you'll have venture around and locate another circle from which to renew your attack. An achievement in the prior title, Pacifism, is now a full gameplay mode. You must avoid shooting, so you kill enemies by leading them through gates, which will close after you pass through them. If you time it just right, the gates will explode at the opportune moment and take out a few enemy vessels. In Deadline mode, you're given three minutes and infinite lives to achieve the highest score that you possibly can.''

Ah how I love Geo Wars. This reminds me to go play it!

Loved these games! It's nice having these just added to my Xbox one library over time. Always have something to do even during game launch droughts.

Daayum, they are killing it with X1 BC support. Now just show me some nice exclusives at E3 and I'll have no complaints.

I,bought some side scrolling Ninja game back in the day on XBL on 360 but I can't remember the name of it. It was fun as Hell! It was cell shaded and pretty violent. I wish they would bring that to BC. Anyone remember the name of that game?

Was it N+ or mark of the ninja?

DaFeelz2565d ago

Two good guesses. I'm leaning towards Mark of the Ninja. N+ was only a single room you had to solve and MotN was a true side scroller. Both were violent as shit though.

*sigh* Dragons Dogma... where for art thou?
