Kris Abel Writes: "Once again a neon chalkboard universe gives birth to ever-growing swarms of glowing geometric creatures, hungry to blink you into oblivion. Survival is the key as you send out sprays of lasers in every paranoid direction, disrupting your pursuers into beautiful flowers of fireworks while electronica music pulsates and swoons in response. Being surrounded by all sides should be a harrowing situation, but the spectacle of light is so mesmerizing, you can't help but be uplifted even as the end is closing in.
This was the case with the first "Geometry Wars: Evolved", launched in 2005 for the Xbox 360's online arcade service, and is still the basic concept for this week's sequel "Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2". The big change is the introduction of six different modes, each offering a captivating take on the basic survival theme. The result is some much-needed structure and variety over the original concept, creating a sequel that's worth investing time in."
Carlos "April proved to be a fantastic month for backwards compatible arrivals, with some of the most requested Xbox 360 games finally being made playable on Xbox One, all through the power of emulation. A new month means more titles and this week sees the first of May's BC titles bringing a double whammy for one popular series amongst the masses this week. Are they worth taking a look at?"
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?
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.

LOVE IT!!!!! My god I didn't realize they could make it more trippy looking... kept me up til ungodly hours this morning too.
IMHO
Best 400pts spent on XBLA = Geometry Wars: Evolved
Best 800pts spent on XBLA = Geometry Wars 2: Evolved
400 points would of been a definate buy. 800 points not so sure. The fact that people have been complaining about the prices on the Marketplace for some time and in response MS goes and raises all the prices leaves me not wanting to buy anything from them.
