Kremmit:
There's a long-running thread on Geometry Wars clones in the "Game Review" forum.  (Bet you didn't even know there was a "Game Review" forum, didja?)

Still, I sure would like to be able to buy the real deal, and I don't have a 360 and I'm not running Vista.

Hey, cowguy- which version did you try, the one on MSN games or the Steam version?
The one on MSN games says it's Vista only, and it looks like that version's a standalone- no Steam required.

What's so bad about Steam, anyway?  I see the Steam download says it will run on XP.

Google "steam sucks" LOL.
It's a frontend that requires an internet connection to play the games.  It basically assumes you are a pirate and verifies your files/installation over the internet every time you play (and sometimes takes forever).

Well ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, it does more than that, you cynic. It keeps your games updated and patched, gives quick and easy access to mods, and has a store to buy more games through...

but anyways.... I bought it. Hard to say no to $2.50. The thing freezes on me within a few seconds of play.


cowguy:
It's pretty heavy on the pc.  How fast is yours? The minimuim is 128mb video ram 512mb ram

Lilwolf:
So, what kind of game is it?  Looks like a pretty cool asteroids type game.

Also, with steam, don't you ahve to be online to play?  And could this ever be launched from a frontend / command line?
