It’s been a fun 2nd week here @ GamesAreEvil HQ. In case you’re just joining the chaos and missed last week’s Rewind, every Sunday one of our underpaid editors gets jacked up on caffeine, rounds up the week’s best coverage, and delivers them to you in a bite-sized, link-filled post.
Thanks for helping us make week 2 our best yet. Don’t forget we have one main RSS feed you can subscribe to, or you can view the individual feeds here.
Let’s dive in!
360 Rewind:
- What a journey Geometry Wars has had. Originally created as a simple tech demo to test the analog sensitivity in Project Gotham Racing 2, it has now, ahem, evolved into virtual crack. Our newest staff writer Travi dishes out a full review of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2.
- Now through August 20th, Dell.com is serving up an Xbox 360 Elite bundle for a mere $349, shipping included. There’s a few days left on this deal – go here for the details.
- New RSS Feeds: You can subscribe to our 360-only RSS feed here.
Nintendo Wii-wind (I couldn’t resist, sorry):
- Wii & PC owners are a lucky bunch this week, as evidenced by the faithful flash-to-videogame release of Strongbad’s Cool Game for Attractive People. Fernando reviews Episode 1.

PS3 Rewind:
- See what happens when Metal Gear gets recreated using, well, fingers.

Portable Rewind (DS, PSP, iTouch Gaming):
- [iPhone/iPod Touch]We were fortunate enough to nab not one, but two important interviews with the developers of Radius and Labyrinth.

- [PSP] Rob gets annoyed about yet another Madden Value Pack
- New RSS Feed: Subscribe to our Portable RSS feed here, covering iPhone, DS, and PSP stuff.

That wraps it up! Stick around, because we’re launching a new feature this week called “The Retro Confessional,” – and there may even be a podcast or two.
All the best;
