N0T PENNYS B0AT - It isn't cool to sound like a grumpy old man regarding the Xbox One. Take time to form a real opinion.

A walkthrough with the developers

If you've recently scanned the new release section of the XBLA marketplace, you may have found more than a handful of new tower defense games. If you go back even further, you'll find countless more. It's safe to say the genre is well-represented on Xbox LIVE Arcade, so to see the folks at 11-bit Studios flipping that idea upside down and allowing for tower offense is a nice change of pace. However, you may be wondering how such gameplay will work.

The developers figured you'd have questions, and this gameplay walkthrough narrated by an 11-bit dev does a good job at introducing you to the offensive capabilities of your squad as you fight your way through merciless defenses in Anomaly: Warzone Earth.

The game has already debuted on some handheld platforms, as well as PC, but will be making its XBLA debut sometime this spring.

Yet another game to add to my watch list :). Love me some tower defense, mainly on my iPhone.

It looks like a nice little change up on a venerable genre. I'll keep an eye on it.
MH The Rockstar - 1 hour "reveal" that really didn't reveal much. Need more details before I can form an objective opinion.

Love tower defense games. They kept me going a few years back at a rather pointless job.
