I'm tempted by Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved²

I always enjoyed playing Geometry Wars on the Forza games. It would be nice to finally earn some gamerscore from them.


EDIT: PGR, not Forza. facepalm

I just assumed it would be for the following week. Will pick up the trials for the Serious Sam's as well, they look too cheap to pass up.

I'd highly recommend Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved² if you haven't got it already. An excellent game.

Which Pacman is going on sale, the latest one? I'd definitely pick that up for 400.

As for this week, already have Geometry Wars so might look at Space Invaders, Duke and Galaga.

Wow, just wow. It looks like I'll have to actually spend some MSP this week.

I'll probably be picking up the Duke and possibly Serious Sam 1 (Since I got the second one when it was on sale last time).
