More free games are on the way for Xbox owners, all thanks to Games with Gold. Four titles were recently announced for the Month of may, including a couple of old classics and a nice co-op strategy game.
Ah, the noble Tower Defense game. Place thy implements of destruction, and await thy enemies, only for them to be decimated at your very doorstep. Where a patient overlord observes his domain as countless fools flood their pre-determined paths, only to be obliterated by lasers or bullets or telekinetically hurled piles of burning garbage or meteors flung from the very heavens themselves.

The folks at Hidden Path Entertainment must be feeling pretty generous. Not only are they giving you a free piece of content for the Steam version of Defense Grid 2 (playable on PC, Mac or Linux), but giving you a chance to win one of four GeForce Titan video cards for your PC.
Since launch, Defense Grid 2 has supplied its PC players with the DG Architect toolset, enabling players to make their own DG2 maps. Today, the Steam Workshop was integrated into the game, so users can now take those maps and submit them with the tantalizing possibility of getting a profit for their creative genius.
I am fully aware that Defense Grid 2 appeared on digital shelves last week, and that we've already reviewed it. But how often do we get to talk about co-op tower defense games? Let's see what former-human-turned-AI Fletcher has to say about Hidden Path's fresh new title.
While it seems like the boom of Tower Defense games has finally died down a bit, it’s still a solid, well-known game mechanic that’s used in newly released games. Defense Grid 2, the sequel to Defense Grid: the Awakening, brings the franchise to the new consoles and introduces cooperative play. How does it stack up? Let’s find out...
Today, developer Hidden Path Entertainment announced their official date for releasing Defense Grid 2 on PC, Mac, Linus, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One! Players can look forward this awesome looking Tower Defense title this coming September 23rd!
Looks like we're getting some advanced tactics from the minds down at Defense Grid 2. This week's new technique: not building your fancy laser towers directly in the path of the encroaching enemy. Here to help narrate these developments is General Fletcher, the man who elected to have his conscious eternally fixed in a giant planet-sized defense system with enough firepower to stop an alien invasion. I'm just waiting for him to slip up and read a "1" in stead of a "0" and accidentally initiate the Annihilate All Mankind Protocol. He is British, though, so he'd waste everybody very politely.
Developer Hidden Path recently announced that they will now be offering pre-orders via Steam for Defense Grid 2 release this fall. From our time talking with the developers themselves at E3 this past June, they have us very interested in what will come from this Tower Defense co-op title.
505 Games has launched a series of videos detailing gameplay in Defense Grid 2. The videos serve as a sort of tutorial for the game, with information on enemies and individual towers. The first video, Defend the Cores, talks about how the enemies will attack you to steal power cores.
One of my personal pleasures and surprises of E3 2014 was Defense Grid 2. I got a chance to play some co-op in the game with Hidden Path Entertainment's CEO Jeff Pobst and then chat with him about what it's like to design a co-op tower defense game. We touch on the Kickstarter that launched it all and the importance of having couch co-op play in a game like this.
