Mutant Storm Empire coming to XBLA next week

by Justin McElroy { Oct 23rd 2007 at 10:30AM }

We admit to always feeling kind of bad for Mutant Storm, the sort-of-pretty-but-not-as-pretty friend to fellow twin-stick shooter Geometry Wars. While GW got squired around town by every game critic on this side of the Mississippi, Mutant Storm was at home, washing her hair and twiddling her twin sticks.

But now, she's evolved with Mutant Storm Empire, an 800-point sequel that's coming to Xbox Live Arcade next Wednesday (Oct. 31) according to Eurogamer (and just a year after we first saw it!). She's stitched her rooms together into coherent levels, she's tweaked her weapons and added online co-op. Now it's her turn. You go ahead, girlfriend. You go ahead and shine.

There were many people (myself included) who felt that Mutant Storm was a better game than Geometry Wars.

I am one of those people. Definitely looking forward to this game.

Same here. Geo Wars was fun for a bit but Mutant Storm just kept me coming back for more.

I'll definitely pass.

I wondered where this one went when it fell off the radar for so long, but I'll definitely pick it up. Many years ago (long before XBLA) the Pompom guys provided excellent customer service when I had a problem with one of their PC games, and I haven't forgotten it.

I have to say this really looks cool. I hope Mutant Storm Empire will sell well. Becuase it looks like it could be really fun. Plus I hope it goes to the PS3 PSN also so this way the developers get some more money to make even more great. So I will have to pick this up soon on Live.
