I'm the kind of guy who would spend half a grand just to save fifty bucks, so throw a game with a $5 price tag my way, and I'll surely bite. Such was the case with Defense Grid: The Awakening, which is on sale at Steam right now.
As pointed out by the fine gentlemen at Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Defense Grid has been marked from $20 down to a mere $5, and will remain obscenely cheap until May 13. I know another tower defense-esque game, Plants vs. Zombies, came out recently, but Crazy Dave should be perfectly fine by himself for a few hours.
Resident PC game extraordinaire Jonathan Ross reviewed Defense Grid, and he says we should all buy it for great justice. Plus, it's an indie game, so you can feel all warm and fuzzy inside whenever you play the thing.

I had the same issue. The last level is ridiculous. I went through the rest of the game without too much difficulty, then hit the brick wall of a final level. It was a bit of a letdown, it seems like they want you to beat the level in a predetermined way, which kind of goes against the whole joy of tower defense games.
I'm hoping they add multiplayer to this at some point. Tower defense games without multiplayer are less than half as fun. :P
Good game, a steal for $5!!!!!!
