"Anomaly 2 is the sequel to the universally acclaimed hit Anomaly: Warzone Earth, released back in August of 2011 for iOS devices after its initial PC/Mac release four months prior. It still stands today as one of the highest rated mobile titles ever, and the formula that ensured its success has carried over to Anomaly 2. Published by Chillingo, the tower defence game – although more probably more accurate to be described as ‘tower offence’ – continues telling the tale of the ‘Machines’ and their attempt at world domination in its campaign, whilst also featuring a multiplayer component where players can control the enemy and play on the defensive."

gamrReview's Brent Galietti: "Strategy and Simulation games suck us into their worlds by putting our minds to work. We predict all the possible moves we can make and how the enemy can respond. Or we try to make our dreams come true in a virtual world that is tailor made to reward us for expressing our freedom. Whichever way they do it, these games keep our brains in the game, and that's true of this year's nominees."

Game review of the tower offence game Anomaly 2. It's an interesting take on strategic defence, but does it hold up in comparison with its predecessor and competitors?

From the review: "It's all about the multiplayer this time around in the Anomaly franchise. Anomaly 2's singleplayer portion is basically identical to the first game, so if that was your jam, then by all means, go weapons free. If it wasn't your jam, then maybe the multiplayer will keep you interested. Either way, there are fun and interesting gameplay ideas hidden away in Anomaly 2 that can keep you busy over a boring weekend."
