Gamers’ reactions to tower defence games tend to go one of two ways. In one camp you have the devotees, the strategy junkies who need no excuse to set up towers and traps on their phones or desktops. In the other you have the haters, people who would rather do laundry or gauge out their eyes with nail files than spend even a minute fending off enemy waves with towers.

The huge list of video games depicting the opening battle from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes back gains another entry with Fluffy Logic’s Star Wars: Battle for Hoth for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
One of the strangest tower defense variations around is spreading its seed, as PopCap Games reveals plans to spread the Plants VS Zombies PC love to other platforms.
PopCap Games’ Plants vs. Zombies sounds weird, plays well and looks so cute in this music video, it makes me want to dance and puke at the same time.
