As Defense Grid: The Awakening comes to the Xbox 360 on September 2nd, 2009, let's take a look at what has everyone so excited.

Chris Pirillo gets a test drive through Defense Grid: The Awakening on it's first day available.  Chris talks with Jeff Pobst about the features in the game, the way the play works, and about the different types of levels and strategies in the game.  Enjoy!

Now available for the PC, Defense Grid: The Awakening is a unique spin on tower defense gameplay that will appeal to players of all skill levels. A horde of enemies is invading, and it's up to the player to stop them by strategically building fortification towers around their base. Beautiful environments, spectacular effects, and a dynamic, engaging soundtrack bring the world to life. The controls are intuitive and the gameplay is deep - the special attacks and properties of each tower work together to provide many ways to succeed.
