		<description>Tower Defense was originally created as a custom game for Blizzards Warcraft 3.
Thousands of people still play it on Blizzards Battle.Net each and every day. If you like this one and you have Warcraft 3 you should check out the custom games on Battle.Net because there are like a thousand variations of this game.</description>

		<description>Well, Brian, the idea for Desktop Tower Defense actually came from FlashElement TD, mainly because it was made by THE SAME PERSON. Congratulations on your investigative skills, you should be the hero of the next CSI.</description>

		<description>I hate to criticize, but this game has been out longer and is way better:  http://novelconcepts.co.uk/FlashElementTD/.

And did you happen to notice the similarities between the games?  I wonder where the idea for Desktop Defense came from?</description>

		<description>Doesn&#039;t anyone else see the problem with that screenshot? How does one have gold = points AND upgraded towers/more towers than the initial 80 gold? Techcrunch - how about a screenie from a real game instead of an obvious hacked version?</description>
