Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2
As I write this, I am listening to a remixed version of the Geometry Wars 2 soundtrack (link), and it is giving me another reason to lament the fact that my Xbox is out for repairs. Sad face. The good thing about a lack of Xbox, though, is that I have more time to catch up on reviews! Yay!
At this point, there is no good reason for any gamer to not have at least seen a Geometry Wars game in action. Aside from the two games available RIGHT NOW on the Xbox Live Arcade, there is one for the Wii, one for the DS, and it has been included in every Project Gotham Racing since number two. It is everywhere, and no one has any excuse.
I do still feel obligated to explain what Geometry Wars is, though, so here it is in one sentence: Geometry Wars is basically Smash TV, set in a hyper-surreal universe of geometric shapes and techno music. Go look up some videos on GameTrailers. Ooh, better yet, here is one:
If that looks hectic, well...it is, but that is part of what makes it so good. It is simple, stylish, and most importantly, it is a hell of a lot of fun. With six different modes, including one where you are not allowed to fire a shot, and up to four-player local multiplayer, Geometry Wars 2 is not just one of the best games on the XBLA; it is one of the best experiences on the system, period.

Street Fighter IV Ultra Moves
This one has been going around the 'nets today. For those familiar with some of the previous Street Fighter games, Ultra Moves are basically suped-up versions of the old Super Combos. Enjoy.
