Tower defence games are a thriving genera on the iPhone with many, many games, some good, some great and some just plain bad. Today were going to be taking a look at one of the better TD games, Star Defence from ngmoco.

Star Defence follows the usual tower defence premise: bad guys, aliens in this case, invade and it’s your job to stop them dead in their tracks. The stand out feature for Star Defence has to be it’s 3D rotating worlds that you fight on. Instead of a field arena, you get small planets on which the path of the enemy is fixed. This takes some getting used to at first, especially if you’re used to the classic kind of playing field provided by the excellent Fieldrunners, but it’s well worth the effort. The graphics provided in Star Defence are really quite good and look akin to the graphics provided by Command and Conquer Generals, allowing you to zoom right in on the action for close ups with the units which are all pretty well animated.

ngmoco:), creators of highly acclaimed iPhone games like Rolando and StarDefense, is coming out with a new game called Eliminate.  This is ngmoco’s answer to the iPhone FPS online mutiplayer genre.  Eliminate seems to look kind of like QuakeLive, but with a stats system that you can upgrade.  The more people you “eliminate” the more credits you get.  The more credits you get, the better you can make your stats, armor or weapon.

Now, I have been playing iMech on my iPhone, and the online multiplayer mode is a bit choppy.  I hope, with ngmoco’s resources, that Eliminate’s arena will be faster.

For a peek at the upgrading system, go past the break for another video from ngcomo:)

It’s finally here! The game I’ve been waiting for since March of this year.  It costs $9.99 from the App Store.  If you search for it now (Dec 17 – 8:53pm PST), you won’t be able to find it.  But if you download Topple for free, there will be a popup bar when you load up that game giving you a link to get Rolando. I’ll update this post when I find the App Store link.

Have fun all!

UPDATE: Here’s the App store Link.

Hey cheapskate! Yea you! The hit game, Topple from ngmoco, is now on sale for the price of FREE but only for a limited time. Go get your hands on it before the offer is gone!  If you’re too cheap to pay that price, I don’t want to know you.
