Now I’d love to give the readers a full review. However, I seem to share the same fate that some of you that will download this game will be forced to live through — those dang force closes!

There is a great looking new game that has just appeared on nVidia’s Tegra Zone called Meltdown on Mars THD. This is a mix of top-down action gaming and Tower Defense genres where you will have to defend your player using turrets and other goodies that you would find in a Tower Defense game.
