The monkey wrench that the game has tossed into the well-worn tower defense machine is a relatively simple one, the kind of simple change that makes you wonder why it hasn't been done before. Rather than being a purely defensive exercise, Comet Crash gives you the opportunity to go on the offensive. Your attackers don't just appear on-screen from a mysterious source – there's an enemy base generating them. You need to do more than survive a set number of attack waves; you need to take out the attackers at the source, and to beat a level you need to take out the enemy base before it destroys yours.

There are lots of games out there that let you jump in with your friends and play around. Those can be a heck of a lot of fun. If you’re looking for something a bit more cerebral, though, nothing’s better than a co-op game with some planning and strategy.
SBG: "We’re human. We don’t always get to every game before the end of its year of release. This is our way of making amends: the best games we missed out on until 2011. Because we can’t go back in time and honor them in a more timely fashion."
