Ever hear of Geometry Wars, the online arcade game for XBOX 360? It has an old school feel and fun gameplay. Maybe I am just a sucker for space shooters. I refuse to go out and buy the XBOX 360 because it’s overpriced and plagued with hardware issues. Holdin’ out for a Wii, honestly. But anyways, thanks to the Mozilla Firefox Online Games Toolbar I found a version of Geometry Wars for Mac OS X!

I have been using my keyboard as the default controller. Kinda stinks on the keyboard. This game was designed for dual analog controllers. One stick moves the spaceship around while the other fires in a direction. I could go out and buy a Logitech Dual Action Gamepad, which I have played with and didn’t really like the feel. Why can’t USB controller manufacturers ever get the ergonomics totally right? I have a few PS2 Dual Analog Controllers laying around. I can just buy this adapter online to convert to USB.

Download Grid Wars 2 for OSX here. Make sure I click on the Mac link to download the OS X version.
