Episode 32

Welcome to Silent Hill

<description>&lt;p&gt;[Episode 31] This month barSILENCE is headed to the Xbox Live Arcade to listen to the high energy neon-drenched beats of the Geometry Wars series!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved and its sequel, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, were groundbreaking titles that helped define the modern twin-stick shooter genre. Known for their simple yet addictive gameplay, fast-paced action, and vibrant visuals, these games kept players coming back for “just one more round” thanks to Chris Chudley’s electrifying soundtrack.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Their success during the early Xbox Live Arcade era paved the way for the fully 3D sequel, Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions, available across multiple platforms. With its Tron-like low-poly grids and Chris Mann’s pulsating techno-electro house soundtrack, this series remains a nostalgic gem that’s ready for a revival.&lt;/p&gt;
