Top five free Android games: Waste your time, but not your money

Robot Defense

If you can somehow get past the atrocious spelling in the name, you'll find a terrific little tower defence game here. You don't get the whole game for free, but the demo is smashing anyway. Basically, the deal is that robots want to crush your human flesh and use your blood as some sort of newfangled robo-lubricant for their robotic joints. Your job is to protect your arse and the arses of those flesh-and-bone sacks closest to you.

Regrettably, unlike lazy humans, robots will never give up. Their bodies may be destroyed, but there is always more metal. You must construct suitable defences to ward them off. As they march in generally quite a straight line, this means making a corridor of massive weaponry. The problem is, while you're chuckling about how stupid these robots are, they're thinking of new ways to humble you. This might involve sending a flying robot, or lots of tanks, which we found had the desired effect of breaching our defences and making us look like fleshy idiots.

You get 20 lives and each time a metal maniac breaches your defences, you lose a life. So, the goal is to ward off as many invaders as possible, and thus survive longer than your last go. To help, you get three different kinds of weapon -- a gun tower, a rocket launcher and a slowy-downy ray.

We, for one, welcome our invading robot horde overlords.
