Geometry Wars

[Episode 31] This month barSILENCE is headed to the Xbox Live Arcade to listen to the high energy neon-drenched beats of the Geometry Wars series!

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved and its sequel, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, were groundbreaking titles that helped define the modern twin-stick shooter genre. Known for their simple yet addictive gameplay, fast-paced action, and vibrant visuals, these games kept players coming back for “just one more round” thanks to Chris Chudley’s electrifying soundtrack.

Their success during the early Xbox Live Arcade era paved the way for the fully 3D sequel, Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions, available across multiple platforms. With its Tron-like low-poly grids and Chris Mann’s pulsating techno-electro house soundtrack, this series remains a nostalgic gem that’s ready for a revival.

Take a listen and set a high score on whatever it is you are doing today!
