It's about two in the afternoon right now and I'm operating on about three hours of sleep. I'm exhausted and I blame Anomaly: Warzone Earth for everything. Billed as a top-down mixture of action and strategy with a generous heaping of 'inverted tower-defense' for good measure, 11 Bit Studios' maiden title is one of the most surprisingly compelling things I've played in a long, long time.
At a glance, Anomaly: Warzone Earth might look like little more than yet another tower defense game making its way to the App Store. Looks, however, can be deceiving. There may be towers, and they may be firing on a marching army - but this time that army is controlled by you.
