I've never played Geometry Wars, but it just looks like a flashy Asteroids, looking at wiki.

And honestly, how difficult would it be to make clones of these and put them online? Isn't the whole point that these games are trivial to make?Comment

Hasn't been done yet -- and no, it's not a flashy Asteroids any more than Mario 64 looks like a flashy Spyro the Dragon.Originally posted by Kuciwalker

It's certainly not enough to make me want a 360.
The 360 just can't have a lasting advantage over the PC from XBLA. And everyone has a PC. I don't need a fancy graphics card to play Flash games.Comment

It's so hilarious to watch you constantly squirm around making arguments.Originally posted by Kuciwalker

Pretty much by definition, the 360 can't have a lasting advantage over the PC from XBLA.
Note that you made your comment in reference to the 360 vs Wii. My point was while the Virtual Console's top sellers are on the PC, XBLA's are not. Just something to note, is all.
I do take your point that all console gaming is inherently inferior to the PC because kids can make their own games on the PC, and indeed even make their own Wiimotes and drivers if they wish. Stunning argument."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

WTF are you talking about?Comment

Anyone can go to games.yahoo.com or wherever and immediately start playing a flash game. It takes a little more (not much) to figure out how to run an emulator and to find the ROMS. The technically clueless (who seem to be a large segment of the target for XBLA) can do the former but not the latter.Comment

I'm talking about the PC's superiority over the Wii. Any kid can make games for it. Hell, most PCs you buy from Walmart now are more powerful.Originally posted by Kuciwalker

A couple seconds on google turns up:
(Having not played any of them, or GW itself, I won't comment on how close they actually are.)Comment

1. The ROMs available online are difficult to find for the average person, especially the ones not interested in searching through websites filled to the brim with porn and hentai ads. Not to mention that using said ROMs are, by and large probably illegal for most who download them. It is like arguing against using iTunes or other music services, because the same songs are availabel for free on P2P.Originally posted by Asher

2. The Arcade games ARE on the Internet. Half of them seem to be a rehash of other free online games. Geometry Wars, as linked above, is on there. Not hard to find a better alternative to XBLA's Poker game. Contra, Mortal Kombat, both available (through ROMs...zomfg XBLA's top sellers are on the PC!!!!!) Frogger, same.Comment

Is "the average person" wanting to play Mario 64?

Clones of the popular ones are inevitable, but they're not the same thing nor true clones. More like impressions. And seeing as Geometry Wars is all of $5, well...

To be fair, some of them might require a Java applet... I don't know what the technical limitations of flash are.Originally posted by Asher

Geometry wars is $305. Plus however much a memory stick costs.Comment

Does this look like a Flash or Java game?
Or this?
