Geometry Wars is a fantastic example of what you can do with a little ingenuity and some smarts. This game is as simple as it gets in terms of gameplay. You have a ship you control with one stick and it looks a lot like the crab ship from the Atari classic Tempest to me. The second stick you use to fire at your enemies, which is everything and anything on the screen that isn't you. The game is very colorful and quite fast paced. To be honest I;m not that good at this game I get cleaned up relatively quickly most of the time, DAMM my old reflexes. I am a true fan of the dual stick shooter though, and this was the first game I downloaded off XBL. If you like a good DS shooter and lots of action then this game is definitely for you.
