Defense Grid: The Awakening Brings More Tower Defense to PC
by Blake Ellison, Aug 28, 2008 4:40pm PDTHidden Path Entertainment, developer of the Xbox Live Arcade trivia game Wits & Wagers, is bringing the tower defense genre back to the PC with Defense Grid: The Awakening.
Tower defense started as a popular modification to Blizzard's Warcraft III. The gameplay--building and upgrading various towers that shoot at ever-stronger lines of enemies marching toward the player's base--proved addictive enough to pave way for the PlayStation 3 release of Q-Games's PixelJunk Monsters and an expansion pack earlier this year.
With Defense Grid, Hidden Path is bringing the tower-defending phenomenon back to its PC roots with 20 levels. The game will be released this November.
