Geometry Wars XBLA Sequel Not Coming Yet, Galaxies Delayed
4:00AM Mark Wilson | With Xbox LIVE turning five, many of us were hoping for a new Geometry Wars title. And while it would have been an excellent way to commemorate the service, Bizarre Creations community and web lead Ben Ward has squashed our dreams of a last second, surprise announcement: Not true I’m afraid. We are working on more Geometry Wars fun… but you won’t be seeing it next week. Oh well, at least we have Geometry Wars: Galaxies coming soon, right? Nope. More »
Geometry Wars: Galaxies For Wii and DS Dated
2:30PM Logan Booker | January 2008. Two months. At least, that’s what Sierra’s HQ in Oz is saying.
The Wii version will set you back $69.95, while the DS will weigh in at a measly $49.95. Both will include a multiplayer mode, as well as the ability to link via Wi-Fi for unlockable goodness.
The release included two of the tiniest packshots I’ve ever seen. Don’t freak – I managed to rustle up some slightly larger ones. You can see them, along with the release itself, after the jump. More »

Activision Makes Bizarre Acquisition
2:00AM Mike Fahey | Activision has entered the racing game… game in a big way, by purchasing the developers of one of the greatest racing series around, Project Gotham Racing. That’s right, Activision has purchased Bizarre Creations, creators of PGR as well as Geometry Wars. The Bizarre team will continue working on current projects while beginning development on two new “AAA” titles, with the first expected sometime after fiscal year 2009. Martyn Chudley, Managing Director of Bizarre Creations, said, “Our goal at Bizarre Creations has always been to do all we can to nurture our creative and passionate teams, who excel at and enjoy what they do. Activision’s independent studio model will continue giving us creative freedom to build exciting new brands.” What this basically means is Microsoft can stop hogging all the racing goodness and let some of the other consoles take a spin. It won’t be PGR of course, but whatever it ends up being should be awesome. Bring back Metropolis Street Racer! More »Geometry Wars Waves Trailer

Daglow Defines Next-Gen (Hint: It’s Wii, WoW & Guitar Hero)
9:40AM Michael McWhertor | Don Daglow of Stormfront Studios spoke at today’s GC Developers Conference on the subject of an oft-abused descriptor, rhetorically asking the question “What is next-gen?” Daglow’s definition may differ from the conventional explanation, which is, essentially, the next iteration in a hardware cycle. The founder of Stormfront, whose resume spans at career at Intellivision as game director and one of the original producers at EA, tackled the definition in a number of divergent ways, declaring the hardcore contentious GameCube Turbo (aka Wii) a next-gen gaming system. While the name may not be immediately familiar, Daglow and Stormfront have developed a number of higher profile games and well-known licensed titles—games like The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, the original Neverwinter Nights, Madden NFL and NASCAR titles.
