Geometry Wars Rocks the Socks

Steam was the most vile thing on the planet when it first came out. I'm still on the fence about it as a content-delivery platform... but without it I would have been empty handed in getting Geometry Wars, Half-Life 2: Episode One and the Lost Planet demo.

I ponied up my $2.50 or so for Geometry Wars a few nights ago and was pleasantly surprised when I popped it open. A lush, flowing environment containing... an old school shooter! Oh, how joyous it was to mash on my keyboard for almost two hours before I noticed how much time had passed. I plugged up my old PS1 Dual Shock Controller (Yay for importing illegal converters!) the other night just to see what I was missing and the game became even better.

So, for $2.50 I got a gorgeous, great controlling and incredibly interesting shooter. Thank you Steam.
