There We Go. A Public Debate!
Which do you think is best?

Xbox time 2: Defense Grid

I have been a fan of tower defense games for as long as I can remember, because they use both parts of your brain, the intellectual side for working out what tower to put where, and the brawny side for being as aggressive as possible, so you can complete the level easier. I first bought this game after one of my friends said there was a new tower game called “Defense Grid”. I believe that this is possibly one of the best Arcade games on the Xbox 360.

The beginning level is the tutorial, and is very informative, since it tells you lots of information about what will happen. Part of the story line is you activate a security system against invading Aliens, trying to steal your power cores. Almost every two levels, the “system” finds more blueprints for towers. Some levels, are all about strategy, as you can shape the path the Aliens take, by placing towers in certain spots to make them change their direction.

It will cost you about eight hundred Microsoft Points, and very worth it.

Xbox Time: Miner Dig Deep

I recently downloaded this game called Miner Dig Deep for 200 Microsoft points, (that’s about £1.70) and I found it extremely enjoyable. I have always been a fan of digging games such as Dig Dug, and Mr. Driller, since most of them you can play nice and slow, which makes them very relaxing games.

In this version, the further down you go, the more expensive the gems/ores you find. Then when you get back to the surface, you can sell them and buy upgrades such as, better pickaxes, grapple, a bigger bag, and much more! To break through the layer of ice at about 150 meters deep, you have to collect 5 pieces of blueprints for a tool that can break through. Later on in the game, I got tired of constantly picking away at the layers of soil, so I bought an electric drill, it is so much faster, but it requires a lot of fuel. So overall I give this an eight of ten.
