Defense Grid: The Awakening Demo (360)
Tried this out on my netbook at while back, but it didn’t run. Now there’s a 360 version, though, I got to play it. It’s a fixed-path tower defense game, with an interesting approach to lives, some lovely graphics and an amusing voice over from Jim Ward.
If I had a spare 800 points and wasn’t overloaded with good TD games on the iPhone I’d consider a purchase. That’s not meant to be damning with faint praise but… but I suppose it is, whether that was intention or not.
The problem is, I didn’t play it long enough to get any interesting levels – the first two that I played were very limited. I suspect it gets an awful lot better later on.

play the full demo – the first 3 levels teach you how to play, and the 4th level in the demo shows how the gameplay expands – you'll be glad you did.
