Bizarre Creations have announced that Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 will be released a week ahead of schedule on Xbox Live, although as always mileage may vary for Australians:

...GWRE2 will now be released a week earlier than expected! Woo! It'll hit Xbox Live Arcade on Wednesday 30th July, for the sum of 800 MS Points.

Oh, and if you're interested in the trial version of the game then you'll be happy to hear that it will basically be the full Deadline game mode (both single and multiplayer).

For more information on the Deadline mode, and the other modes available, check out this press release.

Three new trailers accompany this news; you can check them out in our Geometry Wars 2 section in our files library.

Aussie update: We've just heard from the Australian side that this will indeed be out July 30th here as well. Huzzah.

totally hyped for this


XBOX live doesnt seem to want to know about my credit card for some reason, so I was never able to buy the original :(

mangasm. the original is pretty incredible. i have never found it so easy to get in 'the zone' playing games as when i play this. its very theraputic.

I just bought 1942 today

awesome game but there no autofire =(

looks like a cool game but i think i would lose track of where my ship was and what im shooting at. too many vibrant colours.

sheesh ravn0s, didn't you play quake 3? harden up!@#

ravn0s also can't watch black and white movies.

huh?

Why no feature on ( Echochrome ) this game is so decievingly simple yet totally relaxing., just pure fun.

And it's very good for your brainwaves.

Highly recommended.
