Looking for something different and challenging to play? Treasure Defense may be just the game to help fix your boredom.

The objective in Treasure Defense is actually quite simple, defend your magic crystals!

You start each round with a set of magic crystals that you must defend from intruders who wish to steal them all. You task is to build up defenses using towers that shoot arrows, shurikens, and lightning. You must employ a strategy when building towers to ensure that you get everyone who tries to sneak in. You have an opportunity to rid of intruders both when they are heading towards your crystals and while they are trying to run away with them.

Your towers can be upgraded as you continue to play and gather resources like gold and magic. You also get a few power ups throughout the game to help get you out of tough situations but you must use them wisely as they have cool downs and require magic to use. Power ups include meteors, lightning, ice, an axe to make room for more towers and more. In some levels there are also special locations that you can place your towers that will make them even stronger.

This game is just plain fun and it offers up good challenges along with upgrades and an unique power ups to keep things fresh as you advance through the game.

StarCraft Universe an Incredibly Awesome Mod

by Leave a Comment

StarCraft Universe is now available to play! SC Universe has come along way and it’s looking pretty awesome. This Mod originally got a lot of attention from Blizzard due to it’s initial name, “World of StarCraft”. The name upset the folks over at Blizzard quite a bit. Ryan Winzell, who created the Mod, was originally thought to have created the Mod using methods other than the tool set offered by Blizzard Entertainment, and Blizz was looking to throw down the iron hammer on the project. Eventually, things were straightened out and it was found that the Mod was legit. Finally, it was allowed to exist but with a name change.

It looks like a ton of effort went into this project and I can’t wait to see it grow into something even better. It’s not often that you fool a large gaming company into thinking you’ve made your own full fledged version of their game.

You can get all of the mod details including screenshots and videos at their official mod site.
