A somewhat open world semi-rpg action adventure game.

I can see the appeal from back in the day, but it's pretty awkward now. Figuring out a fuckload of mods is mandatory, and even though that community has been going very very strong for a long time it's fucking hard to do so.

A pretty basic tower defence game, with the twist that enemies reach your core and carry off power thingies. I think I remember a Flash game like this.

It's kinda neat, but reminiscent of old DOS games; not good enough.
