Hello, this is Justin Rabanales and Jonathan Bae and we are interns at the UCLA Game Lab. We both come from the UCLA Community Schools located at the RFK ambassador site and have been interested in the Game Lab due to our love for games. The both of us have been leading a gaming career from as early as 5 years old, and have been playing games since. Our interests in video games varies from FPS to MMO, RTS to RPG, such as Crackdown, Gears, World of Warcraft and Startcraft. Being former hardcore gaming players, today we have participated in the testing phase for Peter Lu’s upcoming tower defense game, Tower & Defense (working title, subject to change) and have been asked to provide feedback. In this review we will be answering a questionaire and outlining our thoughts about this game in the making, from balance to game mechanics.
