Finally an official version of Geometry Wars Retro Evolved hits the PC via Steam - the software distribution method built up around Half Life 2.
The initial cost for GWRE is only $2.50, and it goes up to $3.95 as of Friday 22nd June, so get it quick if you want it.
I've had a couple of games via Steam and it's a great way to buy software, much like XBLA for those that know that.
Support for keyboard, mouse, and dual-stick gamepad play.
Nice. At this price I'm tempted to get this regardless of the fact I have the XBLA version already.

I installed Steam here at work and it's pulling down my previously paid-for software at 3.5MB/s!
You could always go for the free clone, Grid Wars.
You may remember I was playing this loads a while back and got really in to it. It has loads of tweakable settings and options and is easily as good as Geo Wars.
For the ultimate set up, I had it running on my Think-a-ma-pad with a PS2 Dual Shock joypad connected through a Playstation - USB adaptor. Happy to lend that out to anyone who feels like some brain candy immersion.
Having just got a charge'n'play battery pack for my 360 controller I'm trying to get that to work with Windows.
I'll try Grid Wars back to back with Geo Wars if I can get the controller working.
