Carl Williams writes, "Steam is a digital distribution service that was created by Valve in an effort to get their games out to gamers more easily. As Steam evolved other publishers were allowed to have their games added to the growing service. Today, Steam represents quite a large chunk of PC game sales and boasts a library of thousands of games. At this point in the life of Steam it is tough to find games that might interest you. In this article I will show you five games that will cater to that nostalgic side of your gaming habit, games that are on Steam right now. 2D side scrolling action titles at one time were the bread and butter of gaming. As consoles gained more power developers moved towards full on 3D gaming, seemingly leaving behind this venerable genre. Steam has become a haven of sorts for 2D side scrolling games. Here are five interesting retro styled action titles worth looking into."

Excerpt: "Brandishing the reinvigorated Sierra brand, which is a digital-only publisher under the umbrella of Activision, comes Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions. Lucid Games, (comprised of developers at the now-defunct Bizarre Creations, the development house that birthed the original Geometry Wars) is under some pressure to deliver a worthy successor, after a 6-year hiatus for the series. And on all fronts Lucid Games succeeds in doing that, even introducing a campaign of sorts, that gives level-to-level challenges beyond getting the highest score (even though youre still doing that). Retro Evolved would be fitting for a subtitle here, more so than any game in the series history."

Kevin of Paranerds writes : "We usually dont go and review a game that was released four years ago unless the game gives a reason to be looked at (unless its part of our Retro Relapse Reviews). Usually the game has to offer something different or garner a reason for us to look at it again. As is the deal with Bayonetta for the Nintendo Wii U."

Polygon: "Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is standing in the shadow of Technicolor giants. While the series began as a novelty time-waster in the in-game garage of Project Gotham Racing 2 on the original Xbox, the series became the most critically acclaimed launch title of the Xbox 360 with the standalone Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved. Evolved was as close to a perfect expression of simple arcade design as I've ever played, and original developer Bizarre Creations followed this up in 2008 with Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2. Evolved 2 made some major changes to the series' design, but it was, at its heart, the same pure arcade shooter that Evolved was."
