Echoes

Post by Necronom »

The people at binaryzoo.com released an extremely beautiful mixture of asteroids and geometry wars. Gameplay is really nice, lots of options for customizing the controls and it even comes with "zoo trials"...kinda like the gamerpoints on XBLA. Seems that online highscores will follow soon. This will keep me busy until the next Kenta Cho masterpiece :D

Awesome stuff. I love Geometry Wars.

In fact it's the only worthwhile XBLA game (well, Alien Hominid is worthwhile, I guess). I still play it often.

Edit: It's nice bu I still prefer geometryt wars.

Binary Zoo really knocked it out of the park with this title. Simply incredible arena shooter. The health circle is really brilliant and it helped me zone out much easier than looking around for a health bar or lives counter. Try setting some of the graphic options to max if you want a more "geometry wars" over the top particle effect. I'm definitely looking forward to any updates on this title.
