    I Can Haz Viral Marketing?

    posted by Chris on September 25, 2007 11:41 AM in Games

    Geometry Wars! Known as one of the reasons I purchased an Xbox 360 - this fantastic series is coming to the DS and the Wii and the requisite marketing rush has begun. Not only have they released a cool trailer featuring dorks dressed in dorky costumes dancing to Particle Man by They Might Be Giants, but we get a heaping helping of LOLcat inspired Geometry Wars humor. Viral marketing is often cheesy and flops miserably, but this is tongue in cheek enough to get a chuckle out of me.

    I think this is pretty clever. Not over the top, but not the whole "trying to be hip" syndrome either.

    Also, the game itself was pretty fun when I played it at PAX. It'll be nice to have a goal for the game besides just getting a high score.

    I'm very interested in how the multiplayer function will work out in the Wii version.
