We all know the Tower Defense type of game.  There are lost of examples out there.  Most of them are in flash or on the iPhone.  

They're fun.  Basically, you have a playing field, and you set up defensive towers.  Then, the game sends out ever increasing hordes of monsters to try to break through your defensives.  Fun stuff.

Now, a company called Hidden Path has taken this to another level.  They're going to release a game called Defense Grid :: The Awakening.  It's a 3D version of Tower Defense, and looks very cool.

It's out for the PC and on XBox Live!  We'll have to get it this weekend and try it out.

If you want to know more about the game or the game company, check out this great article on Gamasutra.

We tried this demo last night from XBox Live - it's great.  Good looking game.

It uses the Gambryo game engine.
