This is my inaugural post and also, my first act as member of Dtoid. I have long been reading the site and only just now decided to actually register. So, please welcome me to your fold.

I suck at Geometry Wars. The original game told me as much, taunting me with those insufferable leaderboards. My rank languished much in the same way as my ability, and not coincidentally, so did my will to commit much time to the game. However, buying the new edition on a whim I found that the developers had included a feature that makes playing the game an absolute compulsion - having the next highest score of any of your friends who own the game on display while you play. This simple augmentation does wonders for providing that extra incentive - to strive to surpass ones peers, even if only by a few hundred points. Granted, only one person on my friends list owns the game, however I spent an hour today trying to trounce his score in every single game mode. Despite not having an actual online multiplayer mode (which was regarded as an odd omission by some), this option makes the solo game infinitely more tantalising.

On that note, if anyone else who only has a modest ability level in the game would like to pose a moderate challenge for me, please add me. Most of my scores however around a couple of million (yes, I'm aware of how feeble that is). My gamertag is Jimzzor2.
