"As a hardcore gamer, I seek out new, original and unorthodox games. But one man cannot play everything. Over the years, there have been games that escaped me. Whether it was a lack of promotion, unexciting screenshots or some other reason doesn't matter – some good games just don't get played.
But as a journalist there have been a few fortunate moments where those inconspicuous games made their way to my consoles. Last year that game was Odin Sphere, an action-packed PS2 masterpiece I had never heard of until it was time to cover it for GameZone. This year that game is Ninjatown, a quirky, visually-happy strategy game (made exclusively for the Nintendo DS) whose screenshots do not convey one ounce of what it has to offer. Ninjatown is risky, challenging and played in real-time – and is very rewarding as a result."

GR - "Tower defense has come a long way since its inception in Warcraft 3. Find out what the best of the tower defense genre has to offer."
Cue "but you didn't include my favorite!" comment: PixelJunk Monsters is the best TD game ever. Fact. :)
I was just going to mention that. PixelJunk Monsters was an absolute blast to play. Even better co-op with someone else. :)
It's there in the "Awesome Tower Defense Games" below the first one(at the end of the list).
Wish Ninja Town would get ported to PC or something.
Edit: Cat, when reading this, I was thinking you'd say just that :P
Castle TD is a freaking grind for crystals to level up, though. And, would love to have an ad free version for $1 or so.
Otherwise, it's got some great challenges with dastardly creep options. What's that? The four zeppelins in a row wasn't hard enough, here's some healers to show up just as you got them down in life!
Lol I'm fealling your pain man at points it makes me wanna slam my phone but I'm hooked and I don't mind the ads but I blocked them so I guess its why I don't mind them lol
It's good to see they remembered Defense Grid: The Awakening. It's the best tower defense game, when I start playing it, I just can't stop. I played many others, including Plants Vs Zombies and Ninjatown, but none gets close to Defense Grid.
StartGame: A volcano erupts near Ninjatown, which brings along Mr Demon and his hordes of devils, who are bent on the destruction of the town.
