Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 (360)
Aug 1st
LIke the original, but much, much better. Six different modes, no boring minutes at the beginning of a game.
I’m not bottom of my friends list – Turbohat has that position sewn up in almost every mode – but I’m not not doing too well. There seem to be a couple of groups of people in each leaderboard. To borrow deKay’s analogy, they’re like the Premiership and the Championship. I’m doing okay in the Championship, but I doubt I’ll ever get promoted.
Current favourite game mode is easily Pacifism, which is incredibly addictive and fun. All the modes seem to be worth playing, though, which is quite amazing.
Also, top marks for the unlocking system – and for having the next score on your friends list displayed when you’re playing. Although suddenly noticing I’ve overtaken deKay, or whoever, tends to make me die.

I turned it on for the first time in a long, long time and got about 130,000, which I thought was all right after such a long break.
On my next go I got about 29,000. And then I switched it off and went back to SWOS.

I thought as I was adding the “(360)” that I might as well change the name.
I just don’t play enough to get as good as I was. And that wasn’t great.

Well, I was really tired so I told myself I was just going to have one game before bed.
So I did.
I scored 16,775 points.
Which is possibly my worst score ever.
I guess I’m tired.

It hated me today. That’s the only explanation. I wasn’t even doing too badly, but it just kept on fucking me as soon as I got 200K. I hate it.

One of those days where every go is worse than the last.
And the first one wasn’t all that great.
I’m currently trying to download the Bankshot Billiards 2 demo, but Live is still slow as shite. Weird.

What a bizarre session. Fifteen or twenty games, only got above 100,000 three times. Which, for those who don’t know, is so crap it’s just plain weird.
However, one of those games saw me get 343,000, beating my previous best score by 50,000 points. How odd.
Eight thousand short of the next target on my friends list though. Bah.

First time in ages.
First game, 219,000. Not bad, not bad at all.
Then 95,000. Oh.
Then 216,000. Okay.
Then 115,000. Rubbish, again.

Hooray!
I was aiming to finally get over 250,000 and I did – three times. Best score was 293,655. Good.
Two things are taking the edge off my happiness, though. Firstly, I managed to get 231,000 in one life during a game and if I’d just held on a little longer I’d have got the “survived 250,000″ achievement as well as the “score 250,000″ one. The another annoying thing is that my arch rival Zomoniac has a score of 356,000, still well above anything I’ve got. Ah well.
