Orcs Must Die! tower defense game delivers fun on a budget

Nov 29, 2012 5:32 PM

The runaway success of Plants vs. Zombies has revived the tower defense genre in recent years and spawned a host of games that look to replicate its magic. Plenty of knockoffs—and even a few worthwhile titles—have challenged Popcap's blockbuster, but Robot Entertainment has been able to capture the casual game charm of PvZ with Orcs Must Die!, a $10 title that takes the conventions of current tower defense games and adds a first-person-shooter twist.

YWriter is a distraction-free, free-of-charge organizing tool for writers

Nov 29, 2012 4:33 PM

If you've ever taken a crack at writing a novel, you know what happens after the first 100 pages or so. The breezy storylines and gossamer plot threads you've been weaving effortlessly begin to take a life of their own, veering alarmingly into one another or disappearing without a trace. Word processing software specially designed to tackle these projects has been around for a while, with the lion's share of the market going to the slick $40 Scrivener. Despite its popularity, not everyone is taken with Scrivener's glitzy approach to organizing the creative process. Others are put off by the price tag. For the no-nonsense or low-budget author, Spacejock Software's yWriter is a free alternative that dumps the theme-park visuals for a more conventional interface packed with practical features. Note: The "Try it for free" button on the Product Information page will download the software to your system.
