Many people ask me on a daily basis if I am a gamer. No, I’m really not. I’m more of a casual gamer. When Xbox 360 came out with Mutant Storm, I was impressed. Then… I got to try out the sequel. I admit it. I’m hopelessly addicted.

Mutant Storm Empire is literally a blast to play. If you’re familiar with the game called Geometry Wars, you’ll find the game play is very similar, as far as the controller. The buttons do the same things, and the directions to move are the same.

A summary of the game from Sony:

There’s this evil emperor, see, and … well, he’s evil. Now someone has decided to put a stop to the whole evilness thing, and that someone is you. It’s the right thing to do! Besides, in Mutant Storm Empire, it’ll be fun. Battle through line after line of the emperor’s minion horde, destroying absolutely everything you can! Blast through bunches of robots, crush colonies of aquatic monsters, smash swarms of UFOs, and demolish devastating bosses. It’s a continuous adventure through four immense, strikingly vibrant worlds, and you can fight alone or join forces with a friend in two-player cooperative mode. Enjoy the frenzy!

There you have it. If you buy only one game from 360 Live this year, it should definitely be this one.

I’m interested in hearing about YOUR favorite game. What is it, and which system do you play it on? What do you love about it? Why is it so addictive? Leave me a follow-up comment, or send an email to me at chris@pirillo.com
