Hidden Path set out to make the best tower defence game on the market, and they nailed it. Though there are some major issues with the difficulty curve, Defense Grid: New Awakening is a good example of what this genre can be, and it actually makes one thankful that this game has a few issues; as the tower defence genre matures, the higher end games will only get better.
For anyone that likes any kind of strategy game, Diehard GameFAN recommends grabbing this on Steam right now. At $20, you can't really go wrong.
OnLive certainly has had its share of bad news this week. From rumors about bankruptcy to buy-outs to a new owner, things for the cloud-based gaming service have been looking a little bleak. But for video gamers, there is a little bit of good news coming out of the company. For a limited time, OnLive is offering four games from its service absolutely free.
Also for a limited time, if you buy 5 games for regular price they will throw in the company for free.
Normally I'd be all over something like this, but with the struggles it feels kinda wrong taking free games with no intent to buy anything lol
This is the final week of their indie giveaway. Took part in all three and it's awesome that they're doing this! More games to add to my OnLive library!
