Geometry Wars Steamed to XP on the Cheap

June 19, 2007 4:59 AM

Independent studio Bizarre Creations' crack team of developers has unlocked the key to bringing Windows XP support to its hit arcade shooter Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved. Previously, the game's PC incarnation was only available for Windows Vista.

Bizarre and Valve this week announced that the game has been added to Steam with a price tag of $3.95, the same as the game's Vista version. It has been discounted to $2.50 until June 22. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved on Xbox 360 is sold through the Xbox Live Marketplace for 400 Microsoft Points ($5).

Valve has released several screenshots of the Windows XP game.

This week's news follows the recent announcement of Kuju Entertainment's Geometry Wars: Galaxies for Wii and Nintendo DS.

So, I see this on Steam. I'm running Vista: am I missing out on anything if I buy the Steam version for XP?

  Well the original "vista" version ran fine on xp so it's probably just the same one.
