1. Geometry Wars: Retro evolved
2. Gauntlet
3. Smash TV
4. Bejeweled II

Ya this game is crazy fun. I think my highest score is 100K i think, it sucks to the person who is on top with a score of 12million. Talk about having lots of free time

I was in the same boat as some of you cats a few weeks ago, thinking that getting near a million plus was impossible. Just watch that video and you will get a lot better, I can consistently hit over a million every other time. It's not that bad, just concentrate on consistently firing straight in front of you and moving in circles, at least that is what I do.
