I've played it quite a bit now and trying to get a few of the achievements has proved most frustrating. Smile being the obvious culprit. Once my Elite returns from the repair shop (I too have been a victim of the 3 red light cockup) I shall master it. Then I'll be hitting Deadrising again... never did complete that game.

You really need to focus, or you make silly mistakes - which leads to frustration.

Had it not been for this I'd have missed out on a superb game. I've only grabbed the demo for now but my thumbs are itching to give it another go. The best part about is it's not frustrating at all... not to me anyway. Cheers for the write up Matt. Had it not been for this I'd have missed out on a superb game.

But I wasn't very good at it and usually got pissed after a few trials. But tried GW2 and really love it. Especially the different game-modes are a blast. Really enjoy playing it and can't wait to play it with my volume to the max ;-) I really liked the first version of GW and usually played it when I had a few minutes left.

The revamp is totally killer and I can see myself playing quite a bit. I haven't had a chance to go back and unlock the full game but I definitely plan on doing so as soon as possible -- great game!

This new version, though, I've been playing the moment I wake up (unlike you, I play this right when I wake up.) It's funny, because I'll go to bed at the top of some leaderboards, wake up to find I'm in 3rd place, play a bunch and get back on top, wake up the next day and I have to get back to the top again. All of the game modes really are great. My best is King, while my worst is Pacifism. I'm thinking this might be the best $10 I've spent for Xbox Live so far.

Perfects every aspect of Geometry Wars Retro Evolved! Cant think how they could possibly make a sequel to this perfection.
