Unstoppable Gorg invade in 2012

Looks like Percival Lowell was right about Planet X!  Sure the whole Canals of Mars thing didn't quite work out, but in the alternate history of The Unstoppable Gorg, looks like ol' Percy's suspicions about the mystery planet were confirmed when a deep space survey ship discovered it far beyond Neptune's orbit.  As it turns out it was also inhabited by intelligent beings!

Being the kind good hearted folk that we are, here on Earth, we sent out several ships with greetings and offers of friendship.  As our ships approached the planet, The Gorg unleashed their massive armada, sending them on a direct course with Earth and destroying everything in their way.  

Great.  The neighbors are jerks.





Thus begins the upcoming tower defense game, Unstoppable Gorg coming to PC, Xbox Live Arcade and iPad in 2012.  I have a love/hate relationship with tower defense games.  As a general rule, I truly enjoy the game play.  I love to map out my towers and mull over defense strategies.  However it can also be a great source of frustration to be limited in WHERE you can place your defenses.  UG looks to change things up by having your set up defense satellites orbiting planets, moons and space stations.  Because they are in orbit, they aren't stuck in one place....you can move them about to where you need them.  Way cool.

As you can tell by the back story, this game is pure B-Movie Sci-Fi cheese.  I love me some B-Movie Sci-Fi cheese.  The Gorg are a race of lizard-men looking dudes and there is also a faction called the Sun Bots, which are wonky lookin' robots.  I'm very much looking forward to playing this game and opening up a can of whoop ass on the Gorg, the likes of which haven't been seen since Joan Crawfords daughter used wire hangers for her dresses.

Check out the trailer!
