<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;d like to start with the best game ever played by me.. and I believe one of the best game ever created. This is strategy game of <strong>tower defence</strong> genre <strong>Plants vs. Zombies</strong>!</p>
<div id="attachment_16" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img class="size-full wp-image-16" title="plants_vs_zombies_200x200" src="http://gameaddictedgirl.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/plants_vs_zombies_200x200.jpg" alt="Plant vs. Zombies strategy game" width="200" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Plant vs. Zombies strategy game</p></div>
<p>It is developed by one of the most famous game developer PopCap. There are really lots of amazing games they&#8217;ve</p>
<p>created and <a href="http://popcap.com/games/pvz/?icid=plantsvszombies_HP_DL_3_8_19_08_en" target="_blank">Plants vs. Zombies</a> is among them.</p>
<p>Get ready to soil your plants in an all-new <strong>action-strategy game</strong> from PopCap!<strong> </strong> A mob of fun-loving zombies is about t</p>
<p>o invade your home, and your only defense is an arsenal of 49 zombie-zapping plants. Use peashooters, wall-nuts, cherry bombs and more to mulchify 26 types of zombies before they can reach your front door.</p>
<p>Each zombie has its own special skills, so you’ll need to think fast and plant faster to combat them all. But be careful how you use your limited supply of greens and seeds… as you battle the fun-dead, obstacles like a setting sun, creeping fog and a swimming pool add to the challenge. And with five game modes to dig into, the fun never dies!</p>
<p><strong>Screenshots of Plants vs Zombies</strong>:<br />
</p>
<p><strong>Tips:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>This game can be completed for several times in a row, the second walkthrough is much more exciting that even the first one. Here Crazy Dave will choose 3 random cards for you in the beginning of each level and they are invariable, so do not try to restart level, just try to complete it <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Devote your attention to Zen Garden. Besides of additional joy it brings you good income if you  carefully look after all those plants, water and soil them and play them good relaxing music on request. Different levels completing (day, night and water) may award you with additional flower pots, important that water and night flowers you can only get on respective levels, they are not sold in the shop. Sell mature plants for additional money, buy and win more and more new plants. Money you earn on the levels and by taking care of your garden you can spend on additional cards and upgrades.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Grow Tree of Wisdom and it will share the secrets of the game walkthrough with you. Though after about 60 or 70 feet height growth you should be patient to feed it with no additional wisdom sharing.. for a while..</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Use GARLIC! Yes, it&#8217;s really great for long and hard levels. The best is to plant them in two rows so that there were no chances for zombies to get through this defending line. Advanced cards are very-very useful too, so don&#8217;t delay their purchasing.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Puzzle games. Oh, something AMAZING! So addicting and so manifold! Love them all..</li>
</ul>
<p>Lots of good features are there in this game.. Wonderfull graphics, good balanced levels and a wide range of zombies and plants. Ideal game for <a href="http://en.gamecentrix.com/pc-games/StrategySimulation">all strategy games</a> lovers.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802585502f4/"><img class="aligncenter" title="Sol Survivor" src="http://download.xbox.com.edgesuite.net/content/xna/assets/585502F4_World/screen2_Web.jpg" alt="" width="432" height="242" /></a></p>
<p>Every year Microsoft hosts the dream build play competition which showcases the best and brightest developers and games using the xna platform.  One of the finalists this year was the excellent Sol Survivor from Cadenza. The game is a hybrid of RTS and tower defence, where spawning enemies (creeps) follow preset paths trying to destroy your bases.  You set up towers of many different varieties depending on the commander you use, but this isn&#8217;t the only method of defence, you also have offensive weapons that you can use in real time like artillery strikes, laser beams etc.</p>
<p>The games single player campaign follows a fairly stand progression of increasing difficult missions whereby you gradually unlock more and more upgrades, towers and abilities, but it is in multiplayer that the game really shines. The game features both cooperative and competitive modes for between 2 and 8 players. The co-op mode is fairly self explanatory, but in the competitive mode you control both the placement of your towers but also the flow of creeps on your opponent’s side of the map. This leads to an interesting mechanic where you have to balance the construction and creep flow as they both come from the same resource bank.</p>
<p>I cannot heap enough praise on this game, the visuals are stunning and it&#8217;s so feature complete that at a glance you&#8217;d be forgiven for thinking that it was a full xbla game. This raises the bar for XBLIG and needs to be supported if we want to see more efforts of this calibre on the service, go and download it now!  The game may feel steep compared to other XBLIG at 800 points, but its definately worth every penny.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://firststage.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/plants-vs-zombies.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1057" title="plants-vs-zombies" src="http://firststage.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/plants-vs-zombies.jpg" alt="plants-vs-zombies" width="500" height="307" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A desenvolvedora independente <strong>PopCap</strong> sempre foi conhecida por produzir games casuais daqueles bem viciantes como o famoso <em>Peggle</em> e o diferente <em>Zuma</em>.<strong> Plants Vs Zombies</strong> não foge à essa regra e desde que foi lançado para PC, em março, vem fazendo tanto sucesso que versões para <em>XBLA</em> e <em>IPhone</em> já estão em produção. Nada disso é em vão. Arrisco dizer que o game é a obra prima da empresa, mesmo sendo Peggle o que é.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Com um atraente estilo gráfico em 2D, o jogo é todo baseado no estilo tower defence, no qual o objetivo é apenas defender a sua &#8220;base&#8221; do ataque inimigo. Sua base, na verdade, é sua casa e os inimigos são zumbis com fome de cérebro que farão qualquer tipo de coisa para chegar à sua porta. Os recursos disponíveis para se defender são as belas plantas do jardim que, assim como os zumbis, podem ser de vários tipos diferentes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">É preciso distribuir as plantas nas cinco linhas horizontais que compõe o jardim, que começa vazio. Em cada partida é possível usar apenas um determinado número de plantas e cada uma necessita de uma certa quantia de luz solar para ser plantada. Essa luz é adquirida plantando pequenosGirassóis ou Cogumelos, por exemplo, portanto saber quais plantas defensivas e ofensivas usar em cada partida, para montar uma boa estratégia, é essencial.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Existem plantas que atiram sementes, outras que congelam os zumbis e até algumas que explodem, assim como existem zumbis nadadores e alguns que arriscam passos do Michael Jackson. A cada fim de partida, você é agraciado com uma nova carta que contém uma nova planta.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Plants Vs Zombies diferencia-se dos demais games do gênero por não ficar preso apenas no mesmo sistema do início ao fim. Algumas vezes, entre uma fase e outra, a forma de jogar muda a fim de não se tornar monótona e repetitiva. Você tem a chance de rolar uma pedra pelo seu jardim fazendo um &#8220;boliche&#8221; de zumbis, por exemplo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Uma outra opção além do modo principal são os diversos minigames (alguns são claramente inspirados em outros jogos), liberados conforme se avança no jogo e que aumentam em muitas vezes a durabilidade do título.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A PopCap acertou em cheio em sua primeira tentativa de se aventurar pelas águas do estilo tower defence fazendo um game simples, inteligente, bem humorado e extremamente divertido. Tudo isso aliado às poéticas frases de <em>Crazy Dave</em>, fazem de Plants Vs Zombies um título obrigatório mesmo que para matar aqueles minutos restantes da hora do almoço.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Jag tänkte berätta lite om vad jag spelat i sommar. Det blir ju en del DS på sommaren eftersom det är smidigt i sommarstugor och tåg. Främst har jag spelat Zelda the Phantom Hourglass vilken jag köpte till förra semestern men av nån oförklarlig anledning tröttnade på och det har samlat damm sen dess. Nu var det ju helt plötsligt jätteroligt! <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1930" title="Nintendo Ds Pink" src="http://smultronsmultron.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/031.jpg" alt="Nintendo Ds Pink" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Sedan har jag spelat Pixel Junk Monsters som en galning. Jag älskar ju Tower Defense så det föll mig verkligen i smaken. Jag vart helt uppslukad av det och det är nog det mest prisvärda spelet jag har köpt det senaste året, superbilligt och jag har lagt ner mååånga timmar.</p>
<p>Besvikelsen är nog Fat Princess tyvärr. Jag har spelat en del men jag blir liksom inte fast. Det är förvirrande och det känns ofta som att man inte kan påverka det stora hela utan skulle behöva vara ett gäng som spelar ihop.</p>
<p>Vad gäller mitt Wii Fit projekt så har jag tagit med mina favoritövningar ifrån Wii Fit och tränat utan spelet under semestern men pga mycket god semestermat har jag inga bra siffror att presentera ha ha&#8230; Men nu är jag igång igen och snart så kommer nästa Wii Fit update. Jag har en brudklänning att komma i till nyårsafton så nu gäller det <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><!-- 		@page { margin: 2cm } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } -->E che diavolo di giochino fuffa è questo affare? Domanda pienamente legittima, leggendo un titolo del genere. Beh, è un giochillo parecchio divertente vi rispondo io. Si tratta di un tower defense ne quale dovrete difendere la vostra casa da un&#8217;orda di zombi assassini e spiritosi, utilizzando una serie di piante assassine e spiritose.</p>
<p>Meccanicamente, gli zombi arrivano da destra avanzando verso il vostro cervello, e voi dovrete piazzare i vostri sparapiselli, noci-muro e cannoni-pannocchia per sbudellarli con entusiasmo e un pò di tattica lungo la strada.  A vostra disposizione ci son una quarantina di piante (più o meno) diverse che affronteranno una ventina di qualità di zombi, ognuno (più o meno) differente, per una 50 di livelli e una buona varietà di puzzle e minigiochi. Il tutto condito da un ottimo design, grafica carismatica e una buona dose di umorismo, che vi regalerà parecchie risate.</p>
<p>Il gioco offre quindi parecchia varietà in termini di zombi, piante, giochi e mazzi vari. Anche durante la campagna, il vostro vicino pazzo arriverà ogni tanto cambiando il solito gameplay con qualcosa di differente, in allegria e divertimento.  Finita la campagna, potete rifarla con un bel twist, passare ai minigiochi (questi parecchio fuffa), ai giardinetti zen (questi parecchio inutili) o ai puzzle e i survival (questi decisamente più pro), con una ottima rigiocabilità, che ve lo farà sicuramente rispolverare dopo mesi con entusiasmo.</p>
<p>Sto gioco è quindi consigliato a chiunque ignori la sua patina superficiale di giochino stile flash e che apprezzi il suo carisma.</p>
<p>PRO</p>
<ul>
<li>parecchio divertente e carismatico</li>
<li>longevo e ampiamente rigiocabile</li>
<li>economico</li>
</ul>
<p>CONTRO</p>
<ul>
<li>un po&#8217; troppo semplice</li>
</ul>
<p>VOTO</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-226" title="Plants vs Zombies vote" src="http://antrodigonarch.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/plants-vs-zombies-vote.png" alt="Plants vs Zombies vote" width="317" height="70" /></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Aim of the game:</strong></p>
<p>To attract customers to your stores whilst stopping invading zombie hoards eating your customers&#8217; brains and destroying your stores.</p>
<p><strong>Gameplay:</strong></p>
<p>Set on a grid of intersecting streets you need to build stores which will attract customers from nearby houses based on a store’s reputation. If customers reach your store they spend money and the store’s reputation increases. As your money increases you can buy more stores and attract more customers and so on. The only problem is zombies are invading. They’ll enter the map from different streets and will target your shops and eat any brains they find on the way. If they reach your shop, your reputation will decrease and consequently so will your income. You can also spend your money on weapon battlements or defensive units. These could include:</p>
<p><strong>Weapon placements:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Machine gun – will take down nearby zombies</li>
<li>Freeze guns – will freeze zombies for x seconds</li>
<li>Grenades – dangerous as they can also kill nearby customers</li>
<li>Barricade – can be placed to block off a street for a short time</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Defensive units:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Roaming mercenary – will walk around the map killing any zombies he comes across</li>
<li>Tanks – slow but powerful in attack and defence</li>
<li>Sacrificial lamb – will distract nearby zombies until devoured</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Possible Game modes:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>50 level mode – waves increase in difficulty a la Vector TD, with different maps broken down in Easy, Medium, Hard</li>
<li>Mission mode – individual missions could be compromised of targets such as earn $50,000 in ten minutes, keep 5 stores open for 5 minutes etc</li>
<li>Story mode – Sequential mission increasing in difficulty could form part of a narrated story (It’s the end of the world and you need to protect your home town from the post-apocalyptic zombies)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Extra Info:</strong></p>
<p>The game would be 2D top-down and potentially scrolling to allow for larger maps. Different maps could easily be created with proper pathfinding.</p>
<p><strong>Programming features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Tileable scrolling maps</li>
<li>Zombie pathfinding (e.g. attack the nearest store)</li>
<li>High quantities of graphics (lots of zombies/customers, weapon fire etc)</li>
<li>Careful balancing of cost/reward of shops and weapons to maintain challenge</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Alternative themes:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Aliens – Mars shop defence</li>
<li>Highwaymen – Medieval cart defence</li>
<li>Wild West &#8211; Outlaw saloon defence</li>
<li>Poachers – Animal shop defence (defend your animal shops from the evil poachers)</li>
<li>Sharks – Sea defence (help the underwater creatures defend their shops from shark attack)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Referential links:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Vector TD &#8211; <a title="http://www.candystand.com/play/vector-td-2" href="http://www.candystand.com/play/vector-td-2">http://www.candystand.com/play/vector-td-2</a></li>
<li>Canyon Defence &#8211; <a title="http://www.miniclip.com/games/canyon-defense/en/" href="http://www.miniclip.com/games/canyon-defense/en/">http://www.miniclip.com/games/canyon-defense/en/</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Expansion possibilities:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Supply vehicles could be introduced to bring stock to your store which also need to be defended</li>
<li>You can take control of turrets and vehicles and fire/drive your way</li>
<li>Could be made isometric</li>
</ul>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ok, Thanks Wikipedia, your a lifesaver. Thats My works cited. On to the post.<br />
If you don&#8217;t know what a tower defense is, try one of the ones listed in one of my other tower defense posts.<br />
I can&#8217;t guarantee the accuracy of the information below, but most of it is reasonably accurate, and it is good enough to give you the general idea of how the tower defense has evolved.</p>
<p><strong>How It All Began</strong><br />
The first flash (most games you play in your web browser are made of flash) tower defense game was <a href="http://www.jeannettevejarano.com/games/tower-defence.html">Roman Sanine Tower Defence</a> It was called Tower Defence. This was my first experience with a tower defense, and I was addicted. The simple gameplay hid complex strategies, and trying to beat the games makers score of 90 was incredibly challenging. The simple gameplay allowed beginners to enjoy the game, but the complex strategies kept you addicted even after you got the hang of the game. Tower Defense games soon began to pop up.</p>
<p><a href="http://novelconcepts.co.uk/FlashElementTD/">Flash Element Tower Defense</a> was probably the second popular tower defense. It didn&#8217;t have the as simple of gameplay that made Roman Sanine Tower Defence (I will call it R.S.T.D from now on) but had considerably more depth. It featured two different types of enemies (flying and ground), multiple currencies (one for buying stuff, the other for research, and better graphics. The game had major gameplay flaws. The first of these flaws was that it was designed for people who were decent at tower defenses, and since Tower Defenses were a new genre of games, not many experienced players existed. The second problem was the graphics, which were very detailed, and didn&#8217;t seem to fit with the simple gameplay idea behind tower defenses. This game is still fun, but I only would recommend it to more experienced tower defense players. This game helped to contribute alot of ideas to the modern tower defense and was the first tower defense to achieve any level of popularity.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.handdrawngames.com/DesktopTD/Game.asp">Desktop Tower Defense</a> was the first tower defense where you had to create the maze that your enemies walked through with towers. This new game play element added another layer of strategy to the game. The graphics were simple, but fit nicely into the genre. This game featured a variety of towers with interesting upgrades. It also featured flying opponents and added that they can fly over the maze, adding even more strategy. It has gone through various upgrades over time and now has been recreated in a more feature rich &#8220;desktop tower defense pro&#8221; (the link above is actually a link to the pro edition). Unlike the other two games, this tower defense has held the test of time and is still one of the best tower defenses you can find.</p>
<p>Thats the start of my &#8220;The Evolution of the Tower Defense&#8221; posts. I plan on posting more, possibly one focusing on commercial tower defense games, and one focusing on possible trends for the future.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Spel: Garden Wars Genre: Tower Defence Utvecklare: rockiphone Betyg: @@@/5 Kostar: 7 Skr Åldersgräns]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-32" title="gw1" src="http://iphoneflickan.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/gw1.jpg?w=300" alt="gw1" width="180" height="124" /></p>
<p><strong>Spel:</strong> Garden Wars</p>
<p><strong>Genre:</strong> Tower Defence</p>
<p><strong>Utvecklare: </strong><a rel="#someid1" href="http://www.rockifone.com/">rockiphone</a></p>
<p><strong>Betyg:</strong> @@@/5</p>
<p><strong>Kostar:</strong> 7 Skr</p>
<p><strong>Åldersgräns:</strong> 9+ för kartonigt våldsinnehåll &#8230;</p>
<p><em>Elaka kackerlackor och andra kryp invaderar din trädgård och försöker käka upp duina plantor i Rockiphones andra TowerDefence-spel som är ett försök att fånga flickpubliken?</em></p>
<p>I <strong>Garden Wars</strong> får vi spela på tolv olika kartor med tio olika sorters iender som är allt från slemmiga maskar till supergulliga nyckelpigor &#8230; Vem, vid sina sinnes fulla, vill skjuta nyckelpigor???<br />
<img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-34" title="gw2" src="http://iphoneflickan.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/gw21.jpg?w=300" alt="gw2" width="240" height="171" /></p>
<p>Precis som i<a href="http://iphoneflickan.wordpress.com/2009/06/12/battle-field-pa-iphone-beroendeframkallande/"> Battle Field</a> handlar det om att sätta ut vapen, som kan vara allt från en vattenslang till blixtar, för att försvara dina ägor och hindra krypen från att hoppa in i ditt bo.</p>
<p>För varje dödat djur får du pengar och möjligheter att köpa nya vapen, alternativt uppgradera befintliga.  Det finns tre olika svårighetsgrader och du kan försöka ta dig upp på en high-score ranking. Det är inga problem att avsluta spelet mitt i och sedan bara fortsätta.</p>
<p>Det är ett spel i många gulliga färger och ganska söta små djur, inte så förknipat med ett krigiskt försvarsspelkanske om man inte verkligen gillar trädgårdsarbete.</p>
<p><strong>Summering:</strong></p>
<p>Spelet kostar bara sju kronor och ger många timmars speltid och är absolut inte ett dåligt Towerdefence spel, men &#8230; Kartlandskapenn är puttenuttigt gulliga och ger en halv magomvridning vid bara uppenbarelsen. Inte nog med det, man tvingas skjuta nyckelpigor och fjärilar &#8230; kanske inte riktigt de fienderna jag vill bemöta med våld och kanske därför de ratat den med en åldersgräns?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Jag har spelat Plants vs Zombies som besatt det senaste, det är mycket beroendeframkallande. En bit in i spelet så får du en Zen Garden som du fyller med olika växter som du tar hand om och sen säljer för att köpa olika skills. Här är min Zen Garden.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1762" title="plants vs Zomboies Zen garden flowers" src="http://smultronsmultron.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/plans-2.jpg" alt="plants vs Zomboies Zen garden flowers" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Jag är har även precis tagit alla trophys i spelet, ska man säga något negativt om spelet så är det kanske att det är något lätt. Men för 175 kronor så är det ett fantastiskt spel och jag rekommenderar det varmast.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Jag har ägnat de senaste dagarna med att spela <a href="http://www.popcap.com/games/pvz">Plants vs Zombies</a>. Efter en skoluppgift där vi fick i uppgift att analysera ett antal spel där ett av dem var <a href="http://www.miniclip.com/games/viking-defense/en/">Viking Defence</a> så upptäckte jag att jag gillar genren tower defence-spel väldigt mycket. Jag har letat efter bra sådana, spelade Desktop tower defence som jag har förstått är en klassiker men det är bara så ugly att jag inte kan gilla det riktigt. Så jag laddade hem Plants vs Zombies som kommer från <a href="http://www.popcap.com/">Popcap</a> som även gjort härliga Peggle och nu är jag fast. Ett riktigt roligt spel där du ska försvara ditt hus mot attacker av zombies. Spelet kostar 175kr och du kan ladda ner det <a href="http://www.popcap.com/">här!</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/3590/"><img class="aligncenter" title="Plantsvszombies" src="http://downwritefierce.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/plants-vs-zombies.jpg?w=400&#038;h=205" alt="" width="400" height="205" /></a></p>
<p>I have just finished the demo for Plants Vs. Zombies and as a result have immediately purchased the full version.  The games itself is an offbeat take on the tower defence genre, which has seen increasing popularity in past few years, but until know it has been a genre that has past me by.<br />
The premise is simple, it’s the zombie apocalypse and you must protect your property from the onslaughting zombie hordes by planting various plants and flowers in your front garden.<br />
There is a multitude of plants to choose from, although initially you are limited to two, completing each level unlocks another plant to play with.  Plants are placed by spending rays of sunshine, which fall from the sky at random intervals or can be generated by Sunflowers (of course!) and collected by clicking on them.<br />
Resources are fairly limited you have to decide which plants are best for the job, and these vary depending on the number of zombies you have attacking at any given time, and the type of zombies that are attacking, as some have defences against certain varieties of plant.</p>
<p>The game is simple, addictive and has a smooth difficulty curve that will stop you becoming overwhelmed too soon.  Its charming art style is very appealing and amusing, but very low res, meaning it will play on just about anything, so you have no excuse for not play this game right now!</p>
<p>What are you waiting for?  Go grab the demo now!  <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/3592/" target="_blank">Link</a><br />
It’s available to purchase off Steam for £5.99.</p>
<p>This is my introduction to Tower Defence games, and I really quite enjoyed it.  Are there any games I should checkout that are similar?  I don&#8217;t have a ps3 just yet, so Pixel-junk Monsters is out of the question, but I have heard good things about Ninja Town on the DS.  Any recommendations?</p>

<p>Do you enjoy killing zombies? Do you enjoy horticulture? If your answer to both these questions is yes, then you have a far more interesting life than me. For those of you without a backyard full of zombies to kill, <a href="http://www.popcap.com/" target="_blank">Popcap</a> have released the next best thing &#8211; a new &#8216;tower defence&#8217; style game in which you attempt to stop the zombie advances across your lawn with a variety of willing plants.</p>
<p>Needless to say (it is Popcap after all) Plants Vs Zombies is addictive, and as far as I&#8217;ve played definitely worth the £7 they&#8217;re asking for it <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/3590/" target="_blank">on Steam</a>. However, if you&#8217;re not persuaded by my words or the illustratic image above, there is a <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/3592/" target="_blank">demo available</a> on Steam too. So go, check it out!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Arrest Game is a kind of Tower Defense Game which is being loved by many fans.</p>
<p>In Catch Me If You Can, you will play Arrest Game when you&#8217;re successful in tracking down the fugitive, and arriving at a city where she is staying at the moment. You have to block most of enemies from running out to the exit.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve got some complaints from users that it is too hard to win.</p>
<p>We think it makes sense. It&#8217;s not easy for novice to win the game.</p>
<p>However, there absolutely are ways to win. Here we would like to share some tips with you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>1. Deploy towers strategically</strong></p>
<p>There are three towers that you can deploy. Each of them has its own unique characteristics. They differ in every factor like range, power, interval, effect, etc.</p>
<p>Therfore, you have to deploy them in a strategic way as much as possible.</p>
<p>Even though Laser Turret is the most powerful one, you can not depend on it from the first time. How about deploying just lots of cannons? You will be frustrated to see how weak their bullets are. Oil tower will be essential for effective defense.</p>
<p>Try to mix them in a delicate way, and you will smell the victory.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>2. Get a help from your friends</strong></p>
<p>We believe social games like Catch Me If You Can should have social factors in the game itself.</p>
<p>If you have friends (at least one) enjoying the same game, their pictures will be shown at Arrest Game&#8217;s menu bar. Drag and drop the picture to road on the main game stage, and they will turn into blocks which will damage your enemies. This will make it much easier. According to my experience, having about 10 ~ 20 friends is really helpful.</p>
<p>If you are having trouble in winning this game, please invite some of your friends to Catch Me If You Can.</p>
