Geo Defense Swarm is a sequel to the popular Geo Defense tower defense game from earlier this year. A key difference is that in the first game, the creeps followed a specific path, while the sequel, except for a few levels, offers a more freeform approach. Geo Defense Swarm boasts spectacular particle effects and couples that with great sound effects.
Some levels make you guide the creeps along a designated path...

...while others let you determine which way the creeps go.

The key to any tower defense game is its towers, and here is a breakdown of the towers of Geo Defense Swarm:
Blaster Tower
This is your basic gun turret. Fully upgraded, these towers are bad mofos with a range of about one quarter of the map.
Laser Tower
The laser turret slices through any enemy that is unfortunate enough to cross its path, as well as any other enemy that happens to line up with the intended target.
Missile Tower
The missile turret offers a powerful payload with a slow rate of fire. Fully upgraded, this tower is a beast.
Shock Tower
The shock tower slows enemies down. Upgrading increases the range and the number of beams that are deployed.
Thump Tower
The thump tower puts out a pulse that damages all enemies within range. Upgrading this tower to the max will create small earthquakes. The number of shock rings and the frequency at which those rings are generated is greatly increased.
Vortex Tower
The vortex tower absorbs the energy given off when the creeps explode. Players can then link their laser and blaster towers to the vortex tower. The linked towers then use the energy gathered in the vortex tower to greatly increase the damage they inflict.

Geo Defense Swarm is the chief reason that the post count has been lacking here recently. It is the best example of a TD game I have played yet. For its excellent graphics, gameplay, and addictiveness, Geo Defense Swarm gets a 9 out of 10.
