A Geometry War
Posted under Games, Xbox Live Arcade by Rusty Ranchero
Newer and cooler games continue to release for the 360, like Gears of War, COD3 and Rainbow Six Vegas. While the games are still fresh off the retail shelves, gamers typically watch the leader boards, CLOSELY. And just as many gamers give their best to climb up those lists at any cost. However, there is still one launch title that perseveres and instigates ones ambition to be called King.
A five dollar Xbox Live Arcade game called Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved.Â
About six months after launch, the #1 High Score in GeoWars was about 82 Million. Now, six more months later it’s over four times that! With a symbolic score of 360,360,600 (he claims he intentionally ended the game prematurely), K4rn4ge now takes back the top spot, AGAIN.
Congratulations K4rn4ge! It must be a relief that all that Red Bull and Pizza wasn’t for nothing. While we can easily assume that this score won’t last forever, I wonder if we’ll see a Billion in another 6 months? Can a 360 even stay on long enough to reach that? (Don’t borrow Carpals).

Nice story about GeoWars, Rusty. I did wonder if ‘MIK’ (the guy from 31.5 with the PS3) had tried any of the PS3 download games. I think one of them is a GeoWars clone, and I’d like to hear how it compares to the original.
Haha funny joke about carpals 360.. Sorry carpal.. I feel for ya. Thats an instance amount of playing Geometry Wars to get that score though.. talk about several days!
Yea, I vaugly remember playing Geo Wars. I use to have a console that had it on it.
My thumbs hurt after 2 million. I could not imaginge going at it that long for a game, however I am getting older so maybe I have what they call in Geo Wars as “PROJECTILE DISFUNCTION”. The lack of being able to keep-it-up in a geo wars game for a long period. It effects a lot of men my age. I have one friend that shoots his BIG BLASTS of at the beginning of the game. He is currently seeking theropy.
