In March Xbox Live Arcade got its first tower defense game, the disappointing Crystal Defenders. Square Enix's take on the genre, set in the Final Fantasy universe, was fun on the iPod, but the XBLA version was a cheap port of that portable game and wasn't optimized for play on a home console. Luckily, Hidden Path Entertainment is coming to the rescue with its own tower defense game, Defense Grid. Originally released on PC late last year, IGN scored it an 8, saying it delivered plenty gripping gameplay for a budget title ($20). They spent some time with the XBLA version and came away impressed.
Starting today, Defense Grid: The Awakening is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until December 21 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim it, it’s yours to keep.
