Remember when Geometry Wars launched Xbox Live Arcade and cost a mere $5/400 MS points?

Yes, Twisted Pixel’s Ms Splosion Man will only set you back $10!

Available next week on the 13th, Ms. Splosion Man is the sequel to one of our favorite XBLA titles of all time. Splosion Man was a fun and challenging new spin on classic 2D gameplay with hilarious musicand some of the best post-modern use of FMV we’ve ever seen. Splosion Man also retailed for 800 points, which was a great deal considering how much content was packed in.
