Picked up Orcs Must Die for half off. I like that it is more traps than towers plus it have a bit of a shooter element going for it.

There is also the amazing Defense Grid which I would highly recommend.

Also Dungeon Defenders and South Park

Dungeon Defenders is great, except for one glaring problem. Microsoft sucks fucking donkeyballs when it comes to DLC content for XBLA titles. The company has released like 5-6+ things on Steam already and their FIRST expansion hasn't even hit XBL as far as I can tell due to all of Microsoft's hoops and loops and other bullshit, not to mention the whole charging for free content too. If you don't mind playing on Steam, go for it, although I will say if you have 3 IRL friends, playing it locally in co-op is a BLAST.

I thought the dungeon defender interface was very clunky and it took a really long time to setup and rebuild towers between rounds. Of course all the loot and stuff gives it a pretty rich experience if you stick with it I'm sure.

I picked Orcs Must Die over it because it reminds me a bit of the Tecmo's Deception games. Nothing is better then figuring out trap combos and building your own kill box to trap those stupid orcs in.

It's definitely a "complex" game in terms of UI, but just imagine how much smoother all that interface shit is when you have a mouse. It was definitely "ported" to consoles.

Yeah but the PC version doesn't have couch co-op does it?

Nope, which sucks because it's a fun couch co-op game. I mean, technically you could "fake LAN" it all through Steam if your friends bring their PCs over, maybe even play on Laptops while you're on a couch, but... yeah, not exactly a hassle-free local multiplayer.

That being said... Tons of DLC free and not free in addition to a smoother interface make the PC version equally appealing, especially because it's like 2 dollars once or twice now on Steam with various sales.
