~370000 and my eyes felt like they were imploding :S

Would be much easier with a 360 controller :D

Then get an adaptor and plug it in pc, got one for xbox controller, used it for a few games when I could hold one, worked well.

Yup, I tried my wired 360 controller with it, works great. They really need to do a deal with MS on this one and get it on live, Id happily pay 400/800 points for it. :)

I suck at geometry wars, havent got a single achievement (http://profile.mygamercard.net/Skidzilla360) on it yet. :(

510k points on normal difficulty: http://www.stevefishwick.co.uk/misc/tekforums/echoes_510k.jpg

Using a laptop touchpad instead of a mouse made this a bit harder lol.  Really nice game :)

Just realised you cheated and played on easy mode ;) so I had another 3 goes.

1.9 million: http://www.stevefishwick.co.uk/misc/tekforums/echoes_1975k.jpg

The difficulty increase at around 1.25 million points is pretty big.  Black holes and some red vortexs that shoot back at you make you need to use the bombs at just the right moment or youre screwed...
