I had my doubts with Blur when it was revealed last week, but after seeing it in motion in GiantBomb’s Quick Look and studio tour of Bizarre Creations, it looks pretty damn slick.
I believe Jeff Gerstmann described it as “Wipeout Zero” and I think that description is apt.
Screenshots don’t do it justice, but here are some anyways.
There’s an Xbox 360 beta happening soon and I would love to get in on that, but I lack a Gold account. Too bad. I’m sure a demo will be on its way though.
Blur is scheduled for May 25th, 2010 release for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Update: Looks like it was a typo. Thanks Manuel.
There I was, downloading a copy of the newly released remix track from Bizarre Creation’s website, when I decided to check out what else Mr. Chris Chudley worked on.
Through his site, Audio Antics, I noticed that he worked on all the Geometry Wars releases, the recent Project Gotham releases and The Club. While checking out the Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 entry, I noticed a tiny nugget.
Is this a typo? Or does this mean the sequel will be joining its predecessor on Steam?
Bizarre Creations PR was contacted for comments.
It’s thirteen minutes of Geometry War: Retro Evolved 2’s awesome soundtrack remixed by a fellow named “Chris Chudley” (who did a lot of work in Bizarre Creation’s other works as well). The mix is called “46860 Choices” and was made publicly available from the fine folks at Bizarre Creations.
You can download it from their post or from the download link below.

I absolutely enjoyed the hell out of this remix.
When the Xbox Live! Arcade service began back in November of 2006, Bizarre Creation’s Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved stood out as the premier downloadable bite sized game. The game was simple enough; it was just you, your ship and its handful of bombs against endless waves of multi-colored geometric shapes. As much as I enjoyed the original and the “Waves” variant, which debuted with Project Gotham Racing 4, they didn’t feel robust enough. Individually, they felt lightweight when it came to modes and variety –- especially next to the PlayStation Network’s Super Stardust HD. Now two years later, the official sequel is here. Let’s see if Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 is everything we could have hoped for.

Yesterday, our European brethren across the pond received a nice gift in the form of a surprise demo on the European PlayStation Network Store. The game? Sega published and Bizarre Creations developed third person shooter known as The Club. I downloaded the 1.7 GB monster of a demo and played around with it for an hour or so. Here are some of my impressions. (more…)
