During the Microsoft keynote at CES on Sunday, Microsoft gave us evidence that surprise hit Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved (an Xbox 360 launch title) is headed to the PC. No surprise there, because genuine hits like GW are so rare that hay must be made while the sun shines. We've already blogged about a mobile version of the game; a PC version was inevitable.

No word on timing or price, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect it to land this year for between $5 (the price on XBLA) and $20 (the price for most "casual" PC games).

One to :sweep: methinks, allthough it's a pig to play with a keyboard/mouse setup, and works better with dual analogs

Totally not surprising since the Grid Wars clone that I was raving about a long time ago got Cease and Desisted a few months ago. If anyone wants it I still have it on my desktop so I could upload it somewhere.

Yeah I still play that on occasion but the controls enfuriate me.
Actually there is another clone available for the PSP which works quite well, but once again lacks the dual anal-log
