We’re in the thick of Palm’s “half-time” sale where everything in the App Catalog is an easy-on-the-wallet 50% off of its normal asking price, we’re on the cusp of the PDK Hot Apps contest, and what better way to spend the money that’s undoubtedly been burning a hole in your pocket then on some great gaming titles. We asked you what your favorite games are and you showed up en masse to let us know. The results are interesting: there’s a good spread between big name titles from likes of EA Games and Glu Mobile, and games from indie developers such as Paratrooper and Defensive Warfare. Head on past the break to find the games, both paid and free, that you and your fellow readers like the most.

Another day, another considerable app drop. Frankly, we’re okay with lots of new apps, even if a lot of them are public-domain ebooks. Regardless, there are some highlights in there:
- Tiger Woods PGA Tour takes you to the digital greens to play as or alongside the embattled golfer (or with other famous PGA players) on courses around the world.
- Holidays Trip logs your photos with captions and geo-tagging to keep your vacation photos organized.
- Defensive Warfare finally brings the tower-defense game to webOS, and we’re not disappointed.
As usual, there’s plenty more after the break.

Yes, ladies and gentleman, my wish has finally come true: a proper Tower Defense type of game has hit the App Catalog. Defensive Warfare ($2.49 in the App Catalog) is a full on place upgradeable towers (guns, AA-rocket launchers and slow- ‘em-down emp weapons) and prevent different classes of vehicles, both air and ground, slow and fast, from reaching the other end of the map.
Gameplay is enjoyable for the most part, but the game does get rather frustrating in the more advanced levels as the AI has a tendency to stop concentrated fire on passing units and aim at whatever units come into range, diluting the effectiveness of my towers and preventing me from advancing through the last few levels. Still, it’s an exciting (and very welcome) entrant into the App Catalog, will most certainly get better as time goes on, and is a great sign of things to come.
