Nintendo power this month announced that Geometry Wars is going to be released on the Wii and DS. See the story at 1up
I first played Geometry Wars at the Penny Arcade Expo last year and was stunned by its beauty and addictive game play. Unfortunately I'm a PC gamer primarily and didn't have an Xbox360. I'm apparently not the only one with this problem and found that someone had made a clone for the PC called Grid Wars. Google for it if you want to satiate your desires until the Nintendo version comes out this fall.
I'll be picking up the DS version . I'm hoping it still looks as pretty on the little screen. The touch controls should be interesting as well.
Between this, HL2:EP2/Portal/TeamFortress2 and Left 4 Dead it should be a game filled fall.

WSUS Fun!
I recently setup WSUS 3 Beta to update our servers.
A few servers have a tendency to stop checking in and fail
to recieve any more updates. Two troublesome ones were
Windows 2003 SP1 and the errors I found in the windows update log ( c:\windows\windowsupdate.log ) were initially
Failed to initialize datastore, error = 0xC80003F3 .
Found an article that suggested stopping the automatic updates service and deleting c:\windows\softwaredistribution . This still didn't fix the issue since we then started recieving 0x8024400a and 0x8007000e.
This thread was very helpful:

It came down to installing Windows 2003 sp2 on the WSUS server and on the servers that were having the connection issues. I had to reboot everything after the sp install so it may take awhile to see if the issue is actually resolved since a reboot tended to temporarily fix the problem before anyway.
More on this later if the problem isn't resolved.
