Geist had remained in development limbo since it was announced back in 2003. After its release date was pushed back several times, it was finally released this past August and the reception was unenthusiastic. While Geist wasn't a bad game, it suffered from weak AI, poor aiming, and some framerate issues. It simply wasn't as polished as a game that had spent so many years in development should be. Its puzzles and exploration aspects were certainly novel, but just not enough to keep us from suffering a major let-down.
