XBLA - GEON:emotions, Hexic 2, Geometry Wars 2 - Buy it! Buy it! BUY IT!
Though not exactly the games I want on XBLA, there is a good line up of titles, one coming really soon, the others on the horizon, that will be hitting our hard drives. These three specifically have been hitting the game sites recently, so lets take a quick gander of what is to come:
GEON:emotions: Being published by Eidos, this title will actually make you go through different emotions of game play (rage, passion, fear, envy, rapture, courage, bliss, and melancholy). Yup, I am not sure if I understand what that means either. From the videos I have watched (click here to see one), you are going to control a cube that is on a grid of sorts, you collect things, you can move under the grid. This honestly reminds me of a flash game, a really extremely advanced flash game (advanced graphically and gamewise). This game will feature multiplayer and bad ass trippy visuals with no doubt good music to boot. Release date: Before the end of the year.
Hexic 2: I’m so excited (and I just can’t hide it). Hexic was the first game I ever got all the achievements for, and rightly so, I had to prove to the world that I am the ultimate fan of Alexey Pajitnov, the man behind Tetris, and of course, Hexic. This new Hexic will bring the classic modes from the original, multiplayer battle mode (woot) that has special powers to affect your opponent. With Alexey working on this, I am expecting this to really be catered perfectly to the puzzle game fans. Release date: Sometime this month!
Geometry Wars 2: Another sequel, which isn’t a bad thing with how many raved reviews the original has under its belt. Part of the launch line up with the 360, Geometry Wars possibly helped sell units of the console with how highly people spoke of it (I said ‘possibly’). In an interview with Bizzare Creations Ben Ward, CVG popped out this unannounced title will be coming out. Well, Ben basically said it, “there’s a lot going on, but that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten about the Xbox 360 …” (a lot going on = Geometry Wars on Wii, DS, and cell phones). I am literally buying the original title tonight (only 400 points, has classic status with a lot of people, yeah, I’m a little late). I am going to go out on a limb and say expect some form of a multiplayer feature as well as even more so trippy graphics. Release date: Who knows!?
