Dustin Chadwell Writes: "Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 is the first, true sequel to the wildly successful entry that spawned a slew of twin stick shooters for Microsoft's arcade platform on the Xbox 360. Like any good sequel, Evolved 2 manages to introduce quite a few new modes; some slightly tweaked and balanced gameplay improvements, but yet keeps the initial formula intact that made the first Geometry Wars such an excellent title.
Like in the previous GW, you'll pilot a small ship against hordes of various enemies, all of which stay true to the "geometry" theme of the game. You'll notice that a lot of enemies are making a return here, like the purple cubes that split into two smaller cubes when hit, or the blue and orange snakes that can only be destroyed by hitting their head. However, a few new additions pop up, such as the mostly benign pink dual squares, and for the most part all the additions provide an excellent challenge, at least in large numbers."
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?"
Loved these games! It's nice having these just added to my Xbox one library over time. Always have something to do even during game launch droughts.
Daayum, they are killing it with X1 BC support. Now just show me some nice exclusives at E3 and I'll have no complaints.
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 good guesses. I'm leaning towards Mark of the Ninja. N+ was only a single room you had to solve and MotN was a true side scroller. Both were violent as shit though.
