Geometry Wars Released

Grid Wars is just as good. I don't understand why they would make Geometry Wars Vista only. Doesn't make any sense....

And now the screws start turning... Microsoft, I don't want your stupid Vista, especially since Nvidia still has broke-ass drivers, which makes gaming on your "spectacular" new OS an exercise in frustration.

There's nothing wrong whatsoever with my fully-functioning and downright speedy install of Windows XP. What kind of special magic does Geometry Wars have in it that makes it only possible on Vista? Probably nothing.

I don't want Vista. I don't want your strong-arming with DirectX 10. I don't want your pathetic DRM-laden resource-hogging nonsense.

This forced-upgrade to Vista for DX10 is the kind of shit that makes me want to ditch PC gaming altogether, and get a Mac for my computing needs.

Can you tell I'm a little pissed off about this? Geometry Wars is just the tip of the iceberg.

I'd buy this, but the Vista-only feature is keeping me from buying. Nice way to shoot yourself in the foot, Bizarre Creation/Microsoft. Back to Gridwars 2 for me.

Best of 2006.

wtf, Vista only. So gay. It's dx9c. Bets on whether it's only the installer check that "requires" Vista?

the only reason I'd want to own a 360!

No, but Grid Wars looks a hell of a lot like Geometry Wars. Just look at the screen shots.

And it doesn't work for me in Vista Ultimate (32-bit) with a Geforce 8800GTX and latest beta drivers.
