Destructoid chats about Orcs Must Die!
During my recent visit to Robot Entertainment, I got to do all sorts of fun things: hang out in the "beer garden" that they call a conference room (which includes little chill-out stations to take breaks and play games, of course), nose around in the cool color-coded workspace that the employees call home, and of course play lots and lots of Orcs Must Die!, which is Robot's brand new original IP (and their very first!). We did a full preview of the game, which you can check out today, but we also had a chance to speak with Chris Rippy, Lead Producer on OMD, to give us the lowdown on the heart of the game. You can hit the jump for that, and you can also check out the gallery to check out some photos from the office so you can see how badass it is in there. I'm jealous! I want an office that has a beer garden!

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)This reminds me of "Dungeons", in which you create the environment that typical heroes explore. I really like that there's multiplayer to this, and the concept is pretty awesome. I think it'll ultimately come down to how fleshed-up the "action game" component is, and the variety/usefulness of the traps.
