So far the only tower defense game I've played is Besiegement. It's a lot of fun, but sometimes hard to figure out what weapons are most effective on what enemies.

So what other tower defense games should I look at - what is everyone else playing?

I wish they'd do an iPhone/iPod Touch version of Savage Moon. I'm not normally that into tower defense, but I LOVE that game. I bet it'd work well with a touchscreen interface too.

Defense Grid is quite good. Not free, Windows only, but quality stuff.

For web ones, I like Vector TD (and the author's quasi-RTS followup "The Space Game"). Gemcraft is a horrible invention that sucked away too many hours of my life (i.e. add RPG elements to anything and it becomes super addictive).

[The Liberator]

Agreed, vector TD and no. 2 is also great. The great thing is you are able to decide when the waves arrive, therefore far easier for the controls on the iphone.

By the way, I have not actually played it on the iPhone, I am just assuming.

Liberator.

I am also no much into defense game but geoDefense got me hook pretty good.

I guess mainly because of the TRON-Theme and perfect vector eyecandy.
It´s essntially stripped down to the bone.

I've been having a lot of fun playing TapDefense. Unfortunately its pretty quickly finished.

Personally I like Retro Defense. It's a unique tower game. Try it out when you get a chance, it's pretty addictive.

[Felix Saturnus]

I'll try geoDefense and TapDefense. I'm partial to a medieval theme, but I'll try anything. Thanks for the tips!

Critical Thought has just released geoDefense Swarm, which is a nice new approach to the genre and a decent follow up.

I love it.

(But this OpenFeint BS really annoys me!)

I really like geoDefense, so I'm probably going to pick up gD Swarm eventually.

Another very notable game in the genre is Defender Chronicles. It's a bit different from the usual TD fare, and it includes light RPG elements. I picked this one up a while back and it just keeps getting better.

Is Fieldrunners really as good as they say? I just haven't bothered with it so far as the former two have most of my bases covered as TD games go.

As a side note, an iDevice version of Hordes of Orcs is actually in development right now.

Essentially gD Swarm is Fieldrunner is gD theme. So most advice will go that you don´t need Fielrunners AND gD Swarm.
Unless you´re a completest ;D

Defender Chronicles and 7 Cities are great. Elemental Monster and GeoDefense are close runners up (some may even prefer them) and I'm just starting to get into a great-looking 3D pirate-themed one called Sweetwater Defense.

I have plenty more that I also play, and I wouldn't give up any of them Such asL Fieldrunners, Critter Defense, The Creeps, and Dragon Slaughter (IF I can figure it out enough to stop losing!)

If I could only have one: Defender Chronicles.

I am not a fan of tower defense games, thus I didn't look for a new one.

Plants vs. Zombies is basically a tower defence game too, just dressed up differently, no?

No, it's a tower defense game dressed up like a tower defense game. And it's fantastic.
