1UP writes: How do you make a worthy sequel to a $5 twin-stick shooter that single-handedly defined the Xbox Live Arcade service and ensnared a generation of Achievement junkies? Other Geometry Wars games -- like Waves and Galaxies -- came and went, but none managed to repeat the same lightning-in-a-bottle brilliance of the original Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved. Long anticipated, Retro Evolved 2 tries its hand at packing in as much content as possible and re-creating the magic of its predecessor.

It turns out that the unyielding onslaught of enemies and obstacles in Geometry Wars provides a pretty accurate metaphor describing a typical day in a corporate office. This article may help to make sense of, and almost find comfort in, the day-to-day insanity.
Happy 10th birthday to the Xbox 360! Here's a list of the top Xbox 360 games of all time. Now which ones are your favorite games?
This is a pretty decent list. My personal favs from the 360 generation are Halo 3, Lost Odyssey, Oblivion/Skyrim, Crackdown, MW2, Left 4 Dead, Tales of Vesperia, Bastion and Kung Fu High Impact (Kinect game). There were so many good games last generation that I could probably add at least another 10 to my "favs" list hehe.
Those first couple of years with Gears of war, Halo 3, Mass effect, Bioshock, and COD4. Best years of my gaming life.
Though not that good a time for JRPGs, many, many great titles last gen nonetheless.
Would love a COD4 remaster like was rumored.
I don't know about anyone else but i hate it when people say "of all time", why not just say "The best Xbox 360 games" ? Adding "of all time" makes it seem like the 360 has been around forever.
I know it's nitpicking, but it's something that kinda bugs me :P
for an almost flawless jewel... wish they coulda gotten in online co-op, but I totally understand how tough survival would be with the minutest bit of lag... insta-DEATH
... so happy to finally have it tho...
