Joystiq is better than Gamespot
Even though the 48-hour gamathon is winding down, that doesn't mean we've given up! Our love affair with Geometry Wars continues even as our rank gets lowered by incoming players. We don't know what will happen this Tueday but for right now the image above speaks for itself: Joystiq has p0wned Gamespot! True, bapenguin from Evil Avatar has managed to best us both... but not for long! En garde!
Joystiq review: Geometry Wars demo
Let me begin with this: we love Geometry Wars! This Xbox Live Arcade offering combines fast-paced shoot-'em-up gameplay (think Ikaruga) with that old-school Arcade style (think Robotron). You control your ship by maneuvering the left analog stick while controlling a steady stream of projectiles with your right analog stick. The control scheme is a little like pat your head/rub your belly and takes some getting used to, but learning curve aside, you're in for some twitch gaming action!
