VGR: It has been less than a year since the first Orcs Must Die! was released on Xbox Live Arcade and PC. Its mix of third person action, tower defense and humor made it a great indie game, with one key problem: it was just a single player game.

It not only adds co-op play but new enemies, traps, weapons and guards. While this is just currently a PC release, it does have gamepad support, so Xbox players should feel right at home slaughtering Orcs in this sequel. As with the first game the goal is to not just complete each level and move on but to do that with style, getting a high scrore and getting all of the available skulls from the level.
