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.
