		<description><![CDATA[The popular Desktop Tower Defense game has been upgraded from version 1 to 1.5 bringing new excitement and frustration to the already excellent game. Several new enemies and towers have been included that make the game more enjoyable although I think that it did not rise in difficulty that much. 

I can only talk about the medium mode that I tried today which I passed at first try and the challenge mode to beat 100 levels which is tough as always. I was not able to beat the challenge mode though, it becomes extremely difficulty at levels 75+ at least with the strategies that I have tried.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The popular <a href="http://www.handdrawngames.com/DesktopTD/?" target="_blank">Desktop Tower Defense</a> game has been upgraded from version 1 to 1.5 bringing new excitement and frustration to the already excellent game. Several new enemies and towers have been included that make the game more enjoyable although I think that it did not rise in difficulty that much. </p>
<p>I can only talk about the medium mode that I tried today which I passed at first try and the challenge mode to beat 100 levels which is tough as always. I was not able to beat the challenge mode though, it becomes extremely difficulty at levels 75+ at least with the strategies that I have tried.</p>
<p>Desktop Tower Defense is an excellent game for a short period of time. It does not take long for instance to play the medium mode which consists of 50 waves of enemies that have to be hindered to reach the exits.</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>

		<description><![CDATA[I found some great (online) games today that I would like to pass on. The first is connected to Star Wars. I know you like Star Wars. I always thought why the Imperium was that stupid to construct the Death Star the way they did. A defense shield that was guarded by nothing at all, just some silly stormtroopers. A planet shattering canon and a tiny hole that made the whole thing vulnerable.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found some great (online) games today that I would like to pass on. The first is connected to Star Wars. I know you like Star Wars. I always thought why the Imperium was that stupid to construct the Death Star the way they did. A defense shield that was guarded by nothing at all, just some silly stormtroopers. A planet shattering canon and a tiny hole that made the whole thing vulnerable.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" title="Death Star Designer" href="http://www.deathstardesigner.com/">Death Star Designer</a> is your change to make it better. Create the meanest Death Star of them all for the Emperor. You receive lots of credits and have to make all the choices. Install Defense systems, firepower, naval facilities and much more. Just make sure you stay in the limit or the Emperor will not be pleased. Once you are done your design is reviewed and you will face criticism about all the design flaws of your Death Star. You may then redesign the Death Star or submit the design anyway.</p>
<p><span id="more-993"></span>The second game is called <a target="_blank" title="tower defense" href="http://www.jeannettevejarano.com/games/tower-defence.html">Tower Defense</a>. Buy and Upgrade Towers that attack the waves of monsters that try to storm your castle and kill your citizens. You receive money for every monster that your towers kill and you can use the money to build new towers or upgrade existing ones to make them stronger. Great game, lots of fun.</p>
<p>The second game was recommend by a veteran reader of my blog, Thinker. It is also a Tower Defense game, this time in the well known <a target="_blank" title="star craft tower defense" href="http://www.armorgames.com/games/starcraftfa5_popup.html">Starcraft universe</a>. Instead of building towers you build structures known from the game to beat waves of enemies that try to destroy your hive. Yeah that&#8217;s right, you play the Zerg. A bit more complicated than the first Tower Defense game but still lots of fun.</p>
