			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The release of my own gaming blog has been delayed for a few months and I decided to post some great games in the meantime here at Ghacks to keep you all entertained. There is actually one flash game called <a href="http://www.kongregate.com/games/undefined/protector">Protector</a> that I&#8217;m playing for some time now. It&#8217;s one of those Tower Defense type games but with some basic RPG elements and more strategy involved.</p>
<p>The basic principle of the game remained the same. You have to stop enemy creeps who enter a level from one or multiple locations to reach the exit of that level. You begin each level with a certain amount of life and every creep that makes it reduces that life by one.</p>
<p>The player can build five basic characters and four advanced ones that have to be researched before they can be placed. The five basic characters have each strengths and weaknesses and only a combination will ensure victory on most levels.</p>
<p><span id="more-3185"></span><img src='http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/protector_map.jpg' alt='protector map' /></p>
<p>Each character that is placed on the board gains experience by attacking and defeating enemy creeps. If he reaches a certain amount of experience he can be upgraded which always gives the player the choice to upgrade the special attack of that character or give him more general attack power.</p>
<p>Special attack powers can be poisonous attacks or critical for instance. Monsters do always have one strength (like poison for instance) and one weakness (fire for instance) and characters with those attacks do more or less damage because of these. There are other abilities that players have to watch out for. Some monsters have immunities, some regenerate, some absorb damage.</p>
<p>Beating a level for the first time gives the player a skill point which he can use to buy advancements. This can be the aforementioned advanced characters or other abilities or extras that make live just a little bit easier on the battlefield.</p>
<p>The choice of level is upon the player. He can&#8217;t choose all of them at the beginning but there are always some to choose from which is great. Levels are divided into easy, medium and hard and each have different stages. There are some fun maps as well, for instance the marathon map with forty stages.</p>
<p>The easy and medium levels are fairly easy to beat most of the time but the hard levels require solid planing and lots of testing. The good thing is that you can try the level as often as you like without loosing anything.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is Friday again and as usual I&#8217;m writing about one great game for the weekend that will keep you occupied for hours or even days. This time it is another Tower Defense type of game. These games have become extremely popular in the online community and we will most likely see a lot of those games in the next months.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.candystand.com/play.do?id=18047">Vector TD</a> is a better Tower Defense game. Your objective is to destroy the enemy vectors before they can reach the exit of the level. You loose one life for every vector that reaches the exit. The game ends when you have no lives left or when you beat all the levels of the game.</p>
<p>One remarkable aspect of this game is that it has its maps categorized in beginner, normal and extreme maps. The beginner maps for instance have only one entrance and exit to the level while the extreme ones have two of them. The extreme ones are also more straightforward meaning that you have less space to place your towers well.</p>
<p><span id="more-1665"></span>You may build four kinds of towers that have all their distinctive strengths and weaknesses. Ever colored tower is strong against his own color and weak against another color making it extremely important to have a solid mix of all kinds of towers at your disposal.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/files/screens/2007/06/vectortd.jpg" alt="vector td tower defense" /></p>
<p>The green, red and violet towers can be build in three different versions while the blue one has only two different models available. Each of the 11 towers that can be build can be upgraded as well to increase range and damage output.</p>
<p>Every now and then a bonus object is among the enemy vectors. If you beat it you get a bonus point that you can use to either increase the damage output of your towers, increase the range of your towers, increase the interest rate or add five lives to your contingent. </p>
<p>I got to level 50 of 50 in the first beginner map in my first try and will give the normal maps a go later today. This is really a great time waster. The only annoying thing is the commercial before the actual game.</p>
