    What can I say ? Awesome...

    I had been looking forward to this almost from the day I played the original XBLA GW, and it doesn't doesn't dissapoint. I am an average skilled player on the original but somehow after 2.5 years I keep going back to it, until now that is, with the release of GW2. We already got a taste of it in PGR4, but with 6 different game-modes on tap it surpassed my expectations (and the Waves mode that was featured as an easteregg in PGR4 is IMO the least interesting of the bunch). GW2 just pops, there is no big build-up but instead once you start a game it can get frantic in a matter of seconds rather than minutes, as compared to similar games in the genre; once you're in, all hell breaks loose. Achievements are a little more accessible and if you're not so good at one game mode there should always be another one that just does it for you...probably the best Arcade game of this year...

      During the initial months of the release of the Xbox 360, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved was considered to be the best launch Arcade title. It's addictive gameplay along with colorful, stunning High-Definition visuals made it a most-own.
