We have some juicy rumor news fellow
Geometry Wars fanboys. According to one of
Joystiq's reliable sources, Microsoft will be making a few
Geo Wars news waves as early as tomorrow morning. Specifically, we're being told that
Geometry Wars 2 will be officially announced during Microsoft's Monday press conference AND it may even make a surprise release to the XBLA later this week. If not tomorrow. Something that isn't all that far fetched seeing that we already have the
game's achievements as we wait for its officially unveiling. Heck, we'll trade in
Coffeetime Crosswords for some spastic
Geo Wars 2 action, so make it happen Microsoft. Please make it happen.

I hope it maintains the 400 MS Points price!
The original was a hit due to it's sweet price and awesome gameply (here's hoping for some Multiplayer aswell).
A deffo buy for me!

No. Not more snakes. I hated them so much.
Christopher @ Jul 14th 2008 11:24AM
Snakes? LoL. They are kinda tough when you don't pay attention when they spawn. For me, the hundreds of jacks are way worse. I've watched ever strategy guide in the world and know all the tips to beating them, but can't seem to do it in practical application! I'll defintely snatch this up for myself when it releases.

It's coming.

I would buy it if it were 800 points. Such a good addictive game. You always feel you can top yourself.

Now would be an ideal time for a launch. I don't see too many people getting crazy over crosswords. :p

I'd rather have Coffeetime Crosswords! I hope its not fake because I'm really looking forward to it! :P
gregzkit @ Jul 13th 2008 9:17PM
i got all the achievements on the first and i'll do it again! this is one of my fav games.
pkilla @ Jul 13th 2008 10:14PM
Yeah it definently was an addictive game. Ahhh i remember the first time I cracked 1,000,000 points....
LongshotX @ Jul 14th 2008 9:22AM
Oh god boy is it tough. I still haven't beat my score of 1.5 million. Not sure how I even did it.
Baligouxji @ Jul 13th 2008 10:26PM
If it's 400 points it's a minute one buy for me! But weren't there rumors that it was going to be multiplatform? In which case it's weird that MS is announcing it.

I guess it has something to do with the symbols I'm using. Trying again...

Still the best, if not one of the best XBLA games (Geo Wars) I hope so, I will buy in a split second. Geo Wars (forget the name) on PGR 4 was awesome too!!
AnthonyGalindoX @ Jul 14th 2008 1:18AM
Poor Shred Nebula it doesn't stand a chance. That is if it is coming out next week, X3F is the only place reporting that.
Procris @ Jul 14th 2008 2:37AM
Meh. If they released this a couple of months ago i'd actually care. I sound negative but after playing a lot of Schizoid its honestly a far better game that sadly seems to be unappreciated.
Love Geo wars 1, despite how awful i was at it. I also agree the 400ms points is the real reason its been so successful. You try the trial and then you see its only 400ms points and you just can't refuse it.
Dirty Whirlwind @ Jul 14th 2008 7:01AM
This is a pretty safe bet, and i said I expect to see Geo Wars 2 to be released during E3 in the Crossword-coming-this-Wednesday-news article, but you know, when a games achievements are leaked it often means a game has gone through Microsofts certification process. So bet your mother we'll see Geo Wars 2 this week.
Boff @ Jul 14th 2008 7:40AM
Fond memories of GeoWars. My first ever XBLA title. (Awww!)
But my god it's hard. I've got like 4 achievements for it.
More psychedelic shooting for me please!
