"New" Geo Wars Only in PGR4

Get out your pitchforks and torches (or your wallets) because the latest installment in the Geometry Wars franchise will be a PGR4 exclusive. And worse still it will not be made available on XBLA at all. That's right, the next Geo Wars will (basically) cost you $60.

On the plus side this "new" Geo Wars (sporting the title Geometry Wars: Waves) is not considered to be a full-blown sequel. It is based on the cobweb-laden Retro Evolved and not the fresh and spunky Galaxies.

Maybe we can hope that one

Maybe we can hope that one of these days we can get some DLC for the original game. That wouldn't bother me at all. IGN was showing off the new enemies in Galaxies, as well as the player 2 ship, and it all looks like it would be really cool to add. It would also basically more-than-double everything available in the current GW.

We can always hope. Or harass them with tons of mail.

I don't see this as a problem, in fact I think it's kind of cool. I've always liked stuff like this (the arcade machines in Shenmue, the Arcomage card game in Might & Magic VI (or VII, can't quite remember)...), and it's always more fun if the game in question is actually something you can't play anywhere else.
