Know what that horribly obnoxious buzzer means? That's right, it's Deal of the Week time! This time around, Xbox LIVE Gold members have the opportunity to grab Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 for 400 Microsoft Points. Download it here, if you'd like.
In the unlikely event someone jumped me on the street, held a knife to my throat, and yelled that they would gut me unless I named some truly great Xbox LIVE Arcade games, I'd probably spout off Geometry Wars 2 right then and there.
This dual-joystick shooter is absolutely worth getting at full price. For $5, you really can't go wrong.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I own the original, but I'm wondering if 2 offers enough variety to warrant owning both?
About twenty minutes later I realized that the other stick allowed me to SHOOT!
YES! It looks better. Has more modes. Has 4-player (same tv). And it's $5.
I believe the sequel has all kinds of new modes that add a lot of depth. I remember hearing the Giant Bomb guys raving over the new stuff like Pacifism and Sequence when it first came out.
Are you signed into a Gold account? That's the only way to get the deal.
@Corduroy Turtle
Thanks!
For some reason the web wasn't showing the 400 point price for me but sure enough when I got home and checked via the xbox it was half off. I have a gold account btw.
