When Penguins Attack - Tower Defense Time Waster

If you play casual online games at all, it's almost impossible to avoid the Tower Defense genre. Building various weapons to take down a horde of invading baddies is old hat these days, and there are tons of spin-offs out there. But what if those invading baddies were ... penguins?! That's the premise of When Penguins Attack.

Gameplay-wise, Penguins is pretty standard TD fare. You've got your basic cheap towers, your flamethrowers, your anti-air towers, and your big, expensive guns. Your opposition, the penguin army has ... well, penguins. They come in regular and helmeted flavors, and they're backed up by planes, tanks and choppers. The penguin thing is a fun novelty at first, but let's be real: this is tower defense. Once the enemies start coming in quickly, you don't care what they look like, you just want to blow them up before they make it across the screen.

These aren't clones, these aren't even 'loving interpretations' -- these are the real thing, remade by Atari themselves. This comes as part of a re-launch for the Atari website which includes an online store. I warn you, if you read on, this might turn into more than just a mere ten-minute time-waster. ...
