Early reception to Defend your Castle (http://www.xgenstudios.com/defend-your-castle/) has been exceptional, with the title appearing in the #2 spot on the Wii Shop Channel's most popular list of WiiWare titles between Final Fantasy: MLAAK (http://na.square-enix.com/mylifeasaking/) and the critically acclaimed Lost Winds (http://www.frontier.co.uk/games/lostwinds/). Chris Kohler of Wired calls the game "five bucks worth of awesome" (http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/05/wiiware-impress.html), and G4TV has named Defend your Castle "hands-down the winner of the bunch" (http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/videos/21756/The_Download_WiiWare.html) in their coverage of the WiiWare launch line-up. You can pick up Defend your Castle (http://www.xgenstudios.com/defend-your-castle/) for 500 Wii Points in the Americas, with availability in Europe arriving shortly.

Territory War Online (http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/two) is the explosive multiplayer sequel to the original hit, Territory War. A throwback to classic games such as Worms and Scorched Earth, Territory War Online lets you jump right into the action, or log in with your XGen account to record your stats and create a custom team. Dominate your opponent with grenades, rocket-launchers, shotguns, and more in 5 different stages with fully destructible terrain.

Chronotron (http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/chronotron) is a time-based platform puzzler not unlike Braid (http://braid-game.com/news/) in premise, but unique in its execution. Return all versions of yourself to the Time Pod intact, while taking caution to avoid the creation a paradox through altering the past.

That's great! I've bought the game and all of the said things are true. It's the best 5$ I've spent in a while.

Chronotron is pretty awesome, the paradoxes are really annoying though.

I was really hoping this wasn't the announcing of another Castle sequel...

Oh, I just got what "TWO" stands for, and I've been playing the beta since it was announced, lol.

I've been playing that beta for a while as well. Been waiting for some activity to pick up.

Nice job on DYC, guys. Keep it up.

Agreed. We'd love to share the enthusiasm. The starting lineup in Europe has been mediocre at best. Lost Winds was the only thing that really got my interest. And that's supposedly only 3 hours long. 10 euros != 3 hours.

Nice job Xgen.

I have played a bit of TWO, but not recently.
