This game is so addictive. I just happen to check out the demo of it on XBL, and I instantly fell in love. This game is awesome, especially for those who like RTS games. But don't worry, because even if you are just a casual RTS fan, you will still love this game, because it's so simple, yet so fun. The graphics are great, even when you zoom in. The strategy involved is so simple, yet so robust. The music and dialog is somewhat repetitive, but you won't even notice because you'll be too busy placing your towers to kill the aliens.

All you do in the game is place your defense towers, whether they be regular turret guns, laser installments, flame-towers, cannons, etc., and you put them in designated areas (you can't just put them anywhere). That's where the strategy comes in. You need to figure out where the best space is that is openly available for a tower in order to keep the enemies from stealing your core pieces from your main tower.

Since the demo is free, you just need to go check it out yourself and you will instantly understand why I just downloaded the game today and have already put over 10 hours into it. You won't be disappointed.
