Inside Mac Games has posted a review of the new tower defense game from Freeverse and MrJoy, Hordes of Orcs. Here's a clip from the review:

But is [tower defense] a new genre? Or is it more of a subgenre? In its simplest form, the genre consists of a player strategically laying out a series of defensive towers in order to prevent enemy units from reaching their goal. That’s it. It’s a tiny piece of existing strategy games like Warcraft. This new subgenre merely strips out any additional gameplay. Gone are the multitasking requirements of resource gathering and scouting enemy territory, while duties like recruiting and training your army are all but forgotten.
