Grid Wars 2
Grid Wars 2, by Mark Incitti, is a freeware game for PC and Mac. It is, as the alert viewers of WoS will instantly recognise, not unlike Geometry Wars,
the secret bonus game concealed within Project Gotham Racing 2 for the
Xbox. (Or to be strictly accurate, not unlike its sequel, Geometry
Wars: Retro Evolved, which runs on the Xbox 360 and is the flagship
title of the machine's online service, Xbox Live Arcade.) In itself
that'd be passingly interesting - particularly for anyone who didn't
want to fork out $300 for a state-of-the-art, all-singing, all-dancing
Xbox 360 in order to play a vector-graphics Robotron game - but while
GW2 is undeniably closely related to GW:RE, it's the ways in which it's
different that make it remarkable. Remarkable, in fact, to the extent
that it's possibly the single most perfect piece of pure videogame
design that this reporter has seen in the last decade.
