Not much I can say except a great tower defense game. Not a lot of reason to replay in my opinion and the extremely dated graphics can make it a little hard to play. Very short, but I got it for free a long time ago and just enjoyed my small romp through the campaign.

It's not only pretty, but also requires player to develop his brain to figure out how to use the terrain to his own advantage. The place you choose for a new turret matters a lot. The voice acting was good, but jokes weren't that funny.

This is an excellent Tower Defense game by the way - one of the best when it was released.
If the leaks are correct (4 out of 4 correct so far) tomorrow we'll get Alien: Isolation.

So far the best tower defense game I've played. The units feel powerful and its very pleasing to see them pulverize the aliens. Graphics and sound are so well done that it becomes a very immersive game. Base difficulty is quite easy but there is a challenge here for everyone. If you got friends playing the game it can be …

Graphics and sound are so well done that it becomes a very immersive game. Base difficulty is quite easy but there is a challenge here for everyone. If you got friends playing the game it can be very addicting to try and beat their results in the leaderboards. Every level also got many different modes you can try for variation The AI voice is fantastic and really adds to the immersion. To sum up, fantastic value and a must buy!
