The best of all the robotron clones, Geometry Wars is the game to play when you can't make up your mind. Its simple, fun and addictive gameplay never fails to remind you why you like video games in the first place. The basic premise is that of spacecraft flying around and blasting a variety of geometric shapes, each with their own specific patterns and AI, in an attempt to score as many points as possible. The game starts of very easy and picks up pace fast, but the learning and difficulty curves match well. The controls are intuitive and the graphics whilst basic are pleasing to the eye. In fact my only issue with this game is wandering how those ****ards on my friends lists got such high scores!

Great fun in short bursts and a must buy for any 360 owner.
