Slowly but surely, the threat of European wallets being completely stripped clean before the start of December is diminishing. In fact, we might even have cash
remaining (though hey, let's not get ahead of ourselves).
Only a few days ago, we received the
unhappy news that
Zack & Wiki will miss the holidays in Europe, and Kuju's
purdy Geometry Wars: Galaxies has now joined it. The shape-based shmup (try saying that quickly), once the cause of many a bleary-eyed, late-night session on the
Xbox Live Arcade for this writer, will instead arrive on January 18th.
Meanwhile, the US will also be waiting a little longer for the game, but the delay is far less severe -- just one week, according to
GameStop, which means the title will now launch on November 20th. The DS version, it's worth noting, is still due on the 27th.

Sierra's deviant advertising campaign for
Geometry Wars: Galaxies,
LOLcats and a
"Particle Man" music video, was undeniably effective at grabbing the attention of online gamers, so it only makes sense that the publisher would carry over the same offbeat approach to the land of print.
EGM's latest issue features one of the most ridiculous full-page ads we've seen since the mid-90s, promoting the multi-directional shooter as "
Asteroids on steroids" and emphasizing that abstract with a beefy, curled-lip ape of a man gripping a Wii remote and nunchuck. Jump past the break for the complete, glorious
Geometry Wars: Galaxies ad.
The TIE-fighter shoulder pads really make this one.

By now, you may have seen the, uh,
interesting Geometry Wars Galaxies ads that feature ... well, we don't really want to call them lolcats, because they don't really make us laugh. And isn't that the point? Anyone can take a picture of a cat and slap a caption on it. That isn't the source of the funny. The cats need to be
doing something -- see exhibits
A and
B -- to bring the funny.
At least, that's our opinion. You can see our take on bland, humorless lolcats above (with special thanks to Y.T. for mostly cooperating). But hey, maybe you like what they're doing. Let's hear what you have to say!
