Tower Defense Games

I really didn't expect 11 Bit Studios to top my Anomaly Korea experience from last December with its latest release Anomaly 2. How many sequels, in whatever form of art, can fully supplant its predecessor? Anomaly 2 was already stepping on first rate territory, and even if it hit the same notes as Anomaly Korea, the song would still be a hit. But maybe yesterday's glories may be forgotten with an

Steampunk Tower bills itself as "the one tower defense game," and it's a clever, if not playfully cocky way of describing the app. It literally is just one tower pitted against a horde of enemies, but the actual phrase infers that this adventure is the gold standard of its genre. I'm all in with any kind of artistic endeavor with a steampunk swagger, but does this app live up to its auda

I still haven't played a Chillingo app that has totally sucked, and after playing a countless number of their titles, I'm waiting for that streak to end. The World War 2 based Hills of Glory 3D is a free to play experience, and freemium games come with their share of baggage.

If Age of Thrones makes you think of a popular HBO fantasy series that's filled with dragons and deception, the similarity is definitely intentional. Whether it's a homage or a humorous riff on Game of Thrones really doesn't matter in the end. It's a tower defense game tailor made for RPG nuts, but upon closer inspection, does one size truly fit all?

Raising or learning how to train a dragon has never been a blase experience, as these fire breathers have made their mark in animated films and on television. If Daenerys Targaryen and Hiccup hold a sure hand in nurturing these world beating beasts, why can't we? Battle Dragons gives us that exact shot at greatness. Do we take up our swords and fight, or does this free to play game die a thousand

Sailing the high seas usually calls for a ton of treasure plundering and epic battles, and Pirate Legends attempts to bring its share of adventure to the Tower Defense genre. But is all that sword fighting and cannon blasts worth the $3.99 price tag, or is it shipwrecked on an island you'll never want to visit?

PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate HD is the newest iteration of the popular PlayStation Network tower-defense game that was ported to the PlayStation Portable. Does this version of the game have enough going for it to warrant a purchase on the PlayStation Vita? Or does it ultimately fail to enthuse?

Freak Tower could have been named The Whole Kit and Kaboodle, as everything in the universe, possibly even the proverbial kitchen sink, is thrown into this schizophrenic, yet ultimately fascinating game. The above photos hint at a mixture of a Jules Verne sea tale and a Rampage knock off. Who are these oddly dressed eccentrics loitering near a high rise? Does any of this make sense? But more impor

With the San Diego Comic-Con upon us, some fun things are going to be shown at the maddening convention. One them will be your first issue of the brand new Plants vs. Zombies comic book, brought to you by Dark Horse Comics.

The tower defense genre is a popular mainstay of mobile gaming and titles can be found all over the App Store. With that said, trying to find a high quality game with fun factor to match is a bit of undertaking. One of the newest tower defense titles is from Crescent Moon Games, who modified one of their most popular series to fit the genre. Is Siegecraft TD the tower defense games to end all towe
