Speaking to Pro-G at the Leipzig Games Convention, Bizarre Creations has revealed that a new Geometry Wars game will be featured in October's Project Gotham Racing 4. Dubbed "Geometry Wars: Waves," the shape shooter will be an exclusive Project Gotham bonus and unlike Retro Evolved, won't be sold on Xbox Live Arcade. That makes for an excellent bonus for racing fans, but a $60 investment for those just hoping to exact revenge on the sneaky green square.
Not to worry though, as Bizarre also stated that Waves is based on Retro Evolved and not a "true" sequel as such. Alternatively, you can be sucked in by the gravity wells of Geometry Wars: Galaxies, out this Fall on DS and Wii.

Heh, I only played the demo for Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, and I only ONCE was able to live long enough to see the demo countdown reach zero.

God I love Geometry Wars. Can't wait for the new one. I've played the first game more often than the full $60 dollar games I own. A $5 game beating out a $60 is quite a feat. IMO
Top Score: 6 million-ish

I love Geometry Wars, despite not being all that great. Top score only at like 290,000 or so. But it's a kickback to the old days of simple mechanics that is hard enough to keep you coming, but simple enough to be enjoyable.

To be honest I would have quite happily paid full price (£40 here in the UK) for Geometry Wars. I have played that game more than any other on the 360 and it is among the best on the console. If 'waves' is half as good it will be an excellent bonus.
The subtitle 'waves' makes me think its going to be some sort of level based variant on Retro Evolved, I'm not sure how I would feel about that, but hey it's free.

They could charge me my right nut for Geometry Wars and I would still buy it.
