Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions Evolved

That inclusion isn't Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions' saving grace, exactly. Tallying its original content on its own, Dimensions offers a very replayable, highly varied take on a too-long dormant modern classic. That new take doesn't hit quite as strong a note as its predecessors, but the presence of the modes that made Geometry Wars so beloved makes for a game that feels much more definitive, and much more worth recommending.

My thumb, however, stands testament to the game's greatness, throbbing in pain as I enter the seventh consecutive hour of geometric action. Tomorrow, I will look at my swollen digit and promise myself to lay off the Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions. But such are the game's absorbing attributes that I will break that promise before the day passes.

Dimensions is a great return of the franchise. Crammed with content for just about any player, whether they're looking for single player challenges or just want to kick back and spend the night trying to perfect their scores in the game's Evolved mode, it's all there, ready and waiting. Score Attack purists might not love the inclusion of Drones from Galaxies, as they'll undoubtedly skew results, but thankfully the Drones are only tied down to the single player campaign.
