A game on Steam, tower defense. I think I really like tower defense games... it suits my style to build a system that can support itself, not requiring me to micromanage. My most played game on the PS3 was Field Runners, a tower defense game. Even when I play a RTS like Supreme Commander, the majority of my time is setting my units into a patrol pattern so they can intercept and destroy bad guys before I even notice them. Anyway, if you like tower defense games, this is one. It's pretty enough, too.

Anyway, it is on Steam for $10, and pretty fun. It is addicting trying to defend a particular map. The solo campaign takes about 15 hours, and then, apparently, there are more missions and free community content. As far as I can tell.

So yeah.

Shut up.

There's free DLC, and there are some Portal levels.... and....

GLADOS is there.

Yeah, now you're buying it.

Plus it is fun to go back and beat all of Leisher's scores.

Have it, haven't played it in ages.

Maybe I should reload it.

I played it for an evening and wasn't enthralled.

Maybe I'll give it another chance whenever I'm not playing LoL, Dead Space 2 (almost done), or Borderlands 2.

For some reason I figured out today that there were more than 2 GLADOS levels than what came with the game, and I bought some DLC.

GLADOS takes over your AI "partner," and she fucks with you while you try to clear your levels. It is awesome. She even called me a monster.
