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.

Ah well.

At least that’s better than Dawn of War: Soulstorm, which just refuses to start. In Steam I get a “Game Unavailable” message, starting it directly results in Windows popping up a box about a configuration error. Ah well.
