"Reader Raffi sent us this video he shot from a holiday party where a developer for Natal was playing Geometry Wars with just hand gestures. We can't say for sure if this is really a Natal powered game of Geometry Wars until Microsoft says it is, but it's no secret that Natal developers are experimenting to incorporate Natal controls into a wide assortment of games."
ThisGenGaming says "Check your Xbox One ready to install lists if you have Geometry Wars Evolved as the game is now backwards compatible on the Xbox One. Geometry Wars Evolved originally released as an arcade title in 2005 on the Xbox 360."
This was on the list since day one...
It was the first title that I downloaded and played to test out Backwards compatibility, when it was only available in the preview program.
I think I did that the night of E3 when they announced it was going live to all preview program participants.
Did they take it down at some point and it's just now coming back?
Maybe it's been gone and I didn't realize it because I already had it downloaded, but it was definitely there from the beginning for me.
Edit: Yeah that is exactly what happened. It never made the final list, it was just in the preview program.

Um, yay? I mean, it's great for those that have the game but this is another title that really isn't too high on the votes I don't think.
At the very least, an update on titles announced months ago would be nice.
is it me , or does it look washed out on X1? like the brightness was turned up too much?? it doesnt have that crisp vector line pop like it does on the 360.....
Let's be fair for a moment. Shoot 'em ups (shmups) made in the last twenty years have been labeled many things - boring, repetitive, old-fashioned, unfair, and purely dependent on memorization. This all made the genre stop growing until it was only appealing to a certain niche market.
Trying to break the mold without breaking the core of what makes shoot 'em ups fun, the team behind Roche Fusion worked hard to create a game that can bring back this genre for mainstream gamers. Since the team consists of two different generations, we were easily able to take what people loved about the shmup genre and combine it with all the things they currently love in newer genres.
This week's HUNT brings you Matt vs. Jeremy.
It looks sweet and all, but I don't think I would want to be flailing my hands/arms around for that long. I hope we get to see Natal used in actual games soon and not just arcade and mini games that we have seen thus far. Great potential though.
I'd buy Natal just for that, Geometry wars is one of my favourite arcade games on the 360.
seriously...
Now more of a reason to buy Natal.
