Tonight at midnight Xbox will be releasing the highly anticipated sequel to Geometry Wars Retro Evolved via Xbox Live. I was ridiculously stoked about this game coming out for about the last month or so. I played Geometry Wars Retro Evolved for the first time in like a year. It seemed like for once I could get excited about an arcade game, it was fantastic. Then I talked to Brad.

Having noticed that Brad still hadn't renewed his xbox live gold membership I thought I would PM him and see what the deal was. I knew GWRE2 was coming out and I remembered him being somewhat excited when they talked about it on the Bombcast. I told him he had to get his gold back so he could play the 4 player online co op. Then Brad dropped the BOMB.

 Brad-"My gold account ran out last month and I haven't gotten around to renewing it yet -- been too busy to play games really. Got a gold card sitting on my desk at home, I'll re-up at some point.

HOWEVER, Geometry Wars 2 sadly features no online co-op whatsoever, so a gold account won't matter much in the enjoyment of that game. :( "

What!!! I couldn't believe it. I was under the impression that when they made a huge deal about four player co op they meant it was going to be over live. Who cares about local co op. I can't find one person to play GWRE2 with let alone 3. I'm still gonna get it tonight I will just have this empty feeling while playing. What do you guys think about the lack of online co op? Are you still gonna get it?
