Defense Grid given XBLA date News
PC News by Robert Purchese
Hidden Path Entertainment has announced a 2nd September XBLA launch for Defense Grid: The Awakening.
This version, which costs 800 Microsoft Points (£6.80/€9.60), includes the never-before-released Borderlands mission pack. Inside are four advanced levels and a handful of new challenge modes to best.
Defense Grid has around 10 hours of gameplay without that, and has won many plaudits on PC, including those from friend of Eurogamer Rock Paper Shotgun. Original concerns involved a high price, but that was soon trampled down to £3.50.
The game itself involves building and upgrading towers to keep baddies at bay. You might call it tower defence. There are 10 towers each with two upgrade possibilities. Sounds simple, but the strategies pour out like brain matter.
There's a demo on Steam or Greenhouse, where you can also buy the full PC game.

This game is awesome. I was a bit surprised that it hasn't seen a release on XBLA yet because it really feels like it was tailored for it (they way the controls are set up etc). Not sure if I am going to buy it again because I already bought it on Steam quite a while ago but I have to admit the new missions sound tempting.

Maybe the new stuff will come out on PC eventually anyway? Hope so.
skillian - it was a special steam (weekend?) offer. If you like tower defence, it's still worth it at £6.80. |

The as yet unreleased XBLA version, Bitkari? Or do you have insider knowledge?

Well 99% of the PC version will probably be exactly the same as in the XBLA version.

Yep - loving this game.
Will be buying when it comes out. Lots of fun - replaying levels with different tactics is really rewarding too. |

Why is this news in the PC section and not in the 360 section? Tell me!

It's still well worth 14 quid on Steam IMO
I just found out there is a demo (http://store.steampowered.com/app/18510/), so I will give it a try tonight. It will have to be pretty amazing for me to drop £14 on a tower defence game though. |
