"Back in 2008, on the eve of the Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 launch, lead programmer Stephen Cakebread proudly announced that his team had enough ideas "for probably about 10 games." Sadly, this confidence didn't translate into a string of sequels. With the exception of the iOS release in 2010, Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is the first new installment in six years. And while it's a solid, well-built extension of one of my favorite Xbox 360 games, the whole thing makes me wonder why it took Activision so long to make a proper follow-up.
Whatever the reason, I'm happy to report that Dimensions is yet another fun addition in the Geometry Wars franchise. Although it has been six years, the brand new developers have not missed a beat. This sequel largely builds on what we saw in Retro Evolved 2, adding more game modes and a lengthy single-player campaign. It may not reinvent the dual-stick shooter genre, but I can't imagine fans being disappointed with this $15 package."
Skyler from Informed Pixel says: "Today is a historical day in Canada. Cannabis, Weed, Pot, Ganga, Mary Jane, or other descriptive names for Marijuana is now legal in Canada, ending eight decades of criminalization of the recreational drug. While many have been smoking the green for years, for a lot of people, it may be an entirely new experience for them.
Gaming is something we don’t recommend for people who are new to the drug, but we picked out some games on the cheap, that may be the perfect companion for experienced smokers."
Carlos "April proved to be a fantastic month for backwards compatible arrivals, with some of the most requested Xbox 360 games finally being made playable on Xbox One, all through the power of emulation. A new month means more titles and this week sees the first of May's BC titles bringing a double whammy for one popular series amongst the masses this week. Are they worth taking a look at?"
I,bought some side scrolling Ninja game back in the day on XBL on 360 but I can't remember the name of it. It was fun as Hell! It was cell shaded and pretty violent. I wish they would bring that to BC. Anyone remember the name of that game?
Two years ago today, Microsoft unleashed its most powerful Xbox yet. Now that we're getting comfortable with it in our living rooms, let's take a fond look back at the best downloadable games from its second year on the market.
