Geometry Wars! All SHMUP fans should see this
Any description I make won't do the game justice. So check out this video of an amazing run by the former world champion. The video's low quality don't do the graphics justice as this game looks incredible in HD, but you can see the incredible gameplay in all it's glory.
Article and video
The game is available on Xbox Live Marketplace for around $5. Well worth it.

Ok, I think I must be an idiot for not knowing and I'd rather just be told by someone who knows than look it up, but... SHMUP?
EDIT: Having seen the video, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess Shoot 'em up?

Come to think of it.. I can't tell much of a difference. Still a lot of fun though.
It also contains the original as well.

In terms of gameplay it does look like the original. The feel of the game and controls have been vastly improved making it a far better game.

I just wish I could break 350k, that video makes it look so damn easy! It did give me a few ideas that I need to try.

That video seemed to help me a bit, I was able to get a score of 549k yesterday, which beat my old high score of 320k. Next up 1m!

GW2 on PGR3 is just a demo? I could have sworn that it was the full version....
