Urban Planning and Tactical Diversion
It's the third of four great map packs in the Resurgence series.

Kill Zone and Outflow
The final installment of the Resurgence series includes two more environments sure to challenge your tactical planning. In Kill Zone, will you construct your defenses near the spiral road in, the spiral road out, or the open platform in the middle? Perhaps all three! But you'll need to be on your toes to deter the invaders. Overflow has numerous connected platforms that will provide countless options to turn back the enemies. Will you be able to keep the cores safe?

I didn't even mention them because I couldn't see why anyone would care. Yes, there are new achievements. I'll add that for people I could never understand.

Where have you been the past 2 years? You really think people don't care about achievements? C'mon it's the driving force of why people play games. At least that's what it seems like these days with every game including a set of achievements to give the player a sense of accomplishing something special.

i never played defense grid for achievements, but i DID like the "medals" for each of the maps, mainly as a nice benchmark against which to measure my performance... replaying maps until i got gold on each of them was a lot of fun and in some cases a major challenge (it seems the gold targets are a little inconsistent in terms of difficulty)... i dont much care if anyone else ever knows that i got gold on everything (which seems to be what most achievement-whores care about) but i appreciate having a bar set to shoot for. these kinds of achievements/targets remind me of trying to get that extra ball at N points on a pinball machine, or the high score tables on arcade machines...
i definitely agree that the other class of achievements that seem common, the "stupid busywork" kind, are senseless and not worth considering... but, people seem to like them i guess... -
Achivemets are like the arcade Frogger scoreboard that doesn't need a car battery to take across the street.
