I’ve played tower defence games on the web. I’ve played them on my iPod. Now I’ve played one on my PS3. It doesn’t do anything amazing to the formula, based on the first few levels, but it’s slick, playable and reasonably addictive. Which may sound like faint praise, but it’s really not. If you’ve a hankering for a traditional tower defence game – I’m not sure PixelJunk Monsters counts – then this comes highly recommended.

Also helps if you’re a fan of the Starship Troopers movie, because it’s very clear where the inspiration for the insectoid enemies came from.

(I said “movie”, yes. I’ve not seen any of the sequels and am not sure if they’d count.)
