If you're a fan of warcraft or the frozen throne, you should have played at least one custom game involving tower defense. In case you aren't a fan of warcraft or have fairly poor memory, let me refresh it for you. :)
The main point of any tower defense is to defend some location from evil creeps. If too many creeps enter the location, it's game over for you. There are different types of creeps such as land, immune, flying, etc. Typically land creeps are the easiest, followed by the moderately difficult immune creeps and lastly irritating flying creeps (if the creator wants to torture you, you may get flying immune creeps).
The strategy of most players is to form a maze or labyrinth of sorts with their towers. This maximizes the exposure of the towers and hence increases your chances of winning. However, these towers do not float on air, and this is why flying creeps are the hardest to defeat. Unlike land creeps, flying creeps fly directly to the location that you are defending. This is where your slow towers come in. Slow towers are effective in slowing creeps to increase you towers effectiveness.
The last point to note is that tower upgrading is important in any tower defense. Planning for upgrading is vital in ensuring your victory. Usually there will be an "ultimate" tower that will vastly improve your chances of protecting the location. If you fail to upgrade or build this tower, you should probably quit the game early on.
Now that you have an idea of what tower defense is about, let me introduce a new tower defense game. It is called Desktop Tower Defense. Normally tower defense games based on flash are single player only. However, with this game, multi-player functionality was introduced. You can host games for up to 8 players or join others in their game.
This game is just like the single player version of Desktop Tower Defense. The main difference is that you're competing against other people for awards and points, which will allow you bragging rights. They even provide a page for each game just for that, stating how many points and what awards you gained from that game. You could also join groups or add your friends into your collective (something like a contact list).
If you want to join, you should note that currently it is invite only. I do have 5 invites remaining. Feel free to ask for one in the comments.
