New Orcs Must Die Trailer

Robot Entertainment reminds us of the simple joy of blowing stuff up with explosive barrels.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

Do you enjoy blowing up swarms of enemies that are foolish enough to hang out around obviously-explosive barrels? Of course you do, you’re a gamer. The latest footage of Robot Entertainment’s tower defense title, Orcs Must Die, shows how incredibly effective one of those well-placed barrels can be. Why do all the dirty work from up close when you can blow the invading orcs to smithereens from a safe distance?

Orcs Must Die is releasing this summer on PC, PSN and XBLA. For more coverage, check out our hands-on impressions of the game from PAX East.
