Tachyon Project Review (Xbox One)
In the early 2000s it looked like the twin-stick shooter might well be on the way out. Then, in 2003 a minigame in Project Gotham Racing 2 changed everything. Geometry Wars was born and became so popular that it eventually got its own standalone release with a remastered version known as Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved on the Xbox 360 in 2005. This game essentially revitalized the genre and gave other developers and publishers the confidence to create further twin-stick shooters with the knowledge that there is a market for such titles, especially considering the success of its various sequels.
