Weekly XBLA Update 09/19/07
Boom! Sass! Abstraction! I have no freaking clue what Geon: Emotions is supposed to be, but it looks cool. Depending on who you ask, it's Pac-Man on acid or an emotional roller coaster: a brisk multiplayer combat game based on cubes and eight "playable" emotions - passion, rage, fear, envy, rapture, bliss, and melancholy.
I, too, was confused.
Geon: Emotions moves you through 40 mazelike levels as you pick up little dot-things and try to deposit them in your... in your opponent's... um... goal? Yeah. As a big fan of abstract gaming, I'm not upset by Geon's apparent impossibility to describe. However, this is one XBLA title for which the trial version seems more like a necessity than a test-drive!
Jump for the official description, which - hand to god - is no less vague.
Love it? Hate it? Does it make you angry? Does it calm you down? Feel the energy of powerful emotions as you compete amongst your opponents to master the unique sport of Geon: Emotions. What's your strategy going to be? Will you choose to spread fear among the other players, or unleash a wave of bliss over them with the aim of subverting their cause? Play to your emotional strengths. Allow your dark side to dominate, or win through speed, courage, and style. You can be the master of Geon, but you must learn to use your emotions to your advantage.
* A different game: Geon: Emotions is something different, a fast-paced abstract sports game that lets you explore your emotions as you compete against opponents.
* Next-gen graphics: The razor sharp visuals are accompanied by a pulse-pounding soundtrack.
* Game modes: Perfect your skills in a head-to-head duel or try the time attack to win medals and unlock mini-games. Then, go multiplayer on Xbox LIVE with up to four players and let it all hang out on the emotional battlefield.

Other stuff like this: geon emotions, microsoft, xbla, xbox 360
As if I don't have other games to get back to, I'll prolly pick this one up for the unique visuals alone. Looks like confusing fun.
