    Great Tower Defense

    I am a little disappointed that the Giant Bomb did not pay more attention to this game but it was actually one of my favorite games of this year.

    Firstly it is very funny, and not just the dialog and the story (although those are pretty funny) but the actual traps themselves. Seeing an Orc going flying into a giant pit of acid, hilarious. Also you start the game with some amazing traps, and somehow every level the traps get more interesting and funnier. Finally the game difficultly is just about perfect.

    Anyway this game is a little short but you can grab it and all the dlc for less than 5 bucks during a steam sale and that is MONEY WELL SPENT.

Not-so-long story short, master wizard tripped, hit his head and is now dead, his not-so-bright apprentice takes over when it comes to stopping Orcs from entering the rift, some kind of magical kingdom or something like that, there's also a mad witch leading the Orcs to battle and you must stop them before everything goes to hell.It's pretty simpl...
