Geometry Wars 2 - Pacifism

Is it just me, or are you just dying to play the old school video games where it used to be fun all the time? It used to be so relaxing and fun to sit down and play Duck Hunt, Super Mario Brothers, and Sonic, but now gaming has gotten to a point where it can be stressful. It sucks when you start to get into the mode of, "I just want to get my player to level...." or, "I just need to get this achievement." How many gamers out there are getting angry all the time at the video games they are playing? The answer is way too freakin' many!
I am a huge Call of Duty fan and I play all the time, but just like other gamers, I can get angry while playing it. So you know what I've been doing lately? Playing Geometry Wars 2. It has 6 game modes but the only one I really care to play on a regular basis is called Pacifism. The game is incredibly simple yet insanely addicting. It's one of those game where you can literally sit there for hours playing it and have fun the entire time.
Basically what you do, in the Pacifism game mode, is drive a little ship around trying to avoid blue blobs that are trying to kill you. While avoiding these blobs, you drive threw gates which cause explosions that kill the blobs. When the blobs blow up they release green orbs that give you multipliers that make your score increase faster. The thing that makes the game so tricky is that at the ends of the gates there are yellow caps that will kill you if you run into them. This can make it very difficult when multiple gates are near each other. The whole point of the game is simple, stay alive as long as you can and try to get your score as high as possible. The game is just tons of fun. I love it, and I think you guys probably would too. It's only like $10 on the xbox live marketplace and to me it was worth every penny. I added a screen shot of the game and if you want to see a vid of what it is like to play check it out here.
