Geometry Wars Retro Evolved was one of the very first games to be launched on XBLA when the Xbox 360 first launched. Since then it became classic on the system for its addictive gameplay and challenging nature. From here Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 serves up more on the plate without ruining the classic formular.

In 2002 Bethesda softworks released The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It was a huge imersive RPG experience that unfortunately had some problems that prevented it from worldwide recognition. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblvion fixes all of these problems and could well be named one of the best RPG's of all time. So not to spoil the main story of the game, this will be brief. The game takes place in a land called Tamriel…
