defensegrid

Down from a usual price of $19.99, it’s a great deal at the $5 price and I ended up picking it up after checking out the demo. It’s a tower defense game, but it’s also a really well done one with good graphics, Steam Achievements, and leaderboards. I’m not *that* competitive when it comes to playing tower defense, but I’ll admit that this is a great little game to be playing when I’m on the phone with my wife. It’s perfect since it doesn’t have you too occupied so your significant other gets mad at you because she knows you’re playing games, but it’s also better than just sitting there doing nothing while talking.

I was also tempted to pick up Plants vs Zombies after trying that out too, but one tower defense game at a time! Maybe I’ll write up impressions to both of them at some point…

Defense Grid: The Awakening $5 until May 13 [Steam]

Should be interesting to see if kids end up playing this M-rated game after watching the PG-13 movie…

With both the movie and the game release this past weekend, I decided to check out the demo that was made available on Xbox Live recently. And from what I hear of the movie, it sounds like this may be another one of those rare cases where the video game is better than the movie! While Goldeneye was exceedingly awesome, the movie wasn’t too much of a slouch either but it looks like in the case of Wolverine, it’s a pretty decent game that’s better than what seems to be a lackluster movie. Read on for my thoughts on the demo.
