OXCGN’s Anomaly Warzone Earth XBLA Review

Is the best tower defence tower offence?

Tower Defence games are very popular with gamers and non-gamers alike.

They are available on every popular platform, from PC to the Xbox 360 to smartphones. They consist of waves of enemies moving on a set path to a destination and your job as the player is to stop them from reaching it by building different types of towers.

Anomaly Warzone Earth, developed by 11 Bit Studios, reverses this whole concept as it is advertised as a Tower Offense game.

But what is a Tower Offense game and does it work?

More Tower Offense this way

Sequels are more common in gaming than any other entertainment medium.

Taking a look at the best-selling games of any particular time, platform or location displays our faith that the latest numbered title will always be the best, but sadly this can often not be the case.

One glance at the Final Fantasy series provides solid proof that quality is in no way associated with numerical value.

As new games are released their predecessors usually suffer an immediate price drop, providing potential bargains for those not yet initiated by the franchise and sometimes even better gaming experiences than the latest full-price release.

This series of articles takes a look at series with multiple entries in the current generation and which will provide you with the best experience.

Today we’re taking a look at Crysis vs Crysis 2, Fable II vs Fable III and Dragon Age: Origins vs Dragon Age 2.
