Orcs Must Die! Gets A Sequel
Last year, Orcs Must Die! gave the world a proper introduction to development studio Robot Entertainment on XBLA and PC. Following up the incredibly entertaining and high quality experience of Orcs Must Die! is difficult, but Robot has decided to do just that, less than one year later, with the release of Orcs Must Die! 2, tentatively scheduled for a summer 2012 release.

Review: Orcs Must Die! (XBLA)
There are fantasy worlds in which orcs are noble creatures. Valiant, peaceful, and in harmony with nature, these orcs are worthy of respect and admiration. While I do appreciate the effort that has gone in to bringing a modicum of civility and gentility to a stereotypically barbarous and bloodthirsty race, my orcs of choice have always been, and always will be, Tolkien orcs. Orcs Must Die!, as you...[Read More]

Diner Dash’s time management system is a valid gameplay mechanic tha...[Read More]

Robot Announces First Original Game, Action-Strategy “Orcs Must Die”
I like a good Tower Defense game; at least, I like it for about half an hour before I get bored sitting there just building structure after structure. If I wanted to do that, I’d have been an engineer. Why can’t I have it both ways, killing waves of baddies with my towers and killing waves of baddies with my BARE HANDS? Having just announced their first original game, the action-strate...[Read More]
