Shattered Horizon creator Futuremark Games Studio has been teasing a trio of games, but the most interesting one of the bunch was revealed this afternoon. Unstoppable Gorg is a tower defense title that draws heavy inspiration from World War II-era sci-fi and the new theatrical trailer released certainly proves that FGS has a handle on the gag.

To get just a tad more specific, Unstoppable Gorg will have you protecting the entire solar system from alien attack. In order to beat back the alien hordes, you'll be tasked with deploying satellites around planets, moons, and even space stations. Curiously, and this is a point made very clear in the announcement materials, you'll be able to grab and move your satellites after placing them down.

"With Unstoppable Gorg we have been inspired by classic sci-fi films to create a game of flying saucers, rubbery aliens, dodgy effects, and earnest heroes," an FGS representative said in a statement.�"[It] builds on the core tower defense mechanics that fans love while shattering the genre's conventions to provide exciting new experiences."

Shattering genre conventions is something Unstoppable Gorg will need to do in order to succeed on the App Store. There are a billion other tower defense games to choose from, all of which have benefitted design-wise from the genre's sudden explosion on the 'Store. Here's a free weapon idea, Futuremark: cat cannons. No other game I know of has them. Oh, wait, here's another one: nets, like the kind Cyrax throws. I know, I know � I'm a genius.

No release date has been set, by the way. Thus far we've only got a general 2011 release window for iPad, PC, and Xbox Live Arcade.

A mere two days after Chaos Rings�O hit the App Store, Square Enix decided it was fabulous time to release a trailer for Chaos Rings II, which is being billed as a true sequel to the original Chaos Rings. Flash forward to now, please � we've got some images and a teeny-tiny bit of information to give you about the upcoming follow-up.

Famitsu has posted a small Chaos Rings II update on its site promising further coverage in issue 1180. Aside from the screenshots below, Famitsu has also posted several teaser trailers from a couple of the voice actors in the game. If you can understand Japanese, I don't doubt you'll be able to pick something up from the conversation.

Did you find out something new? Great! You're ahead of the game. I'd like to note that the monsters in the images do look new, which is a good sign. Omega was disappointing in some respects because it failed to add anything substantially fresh. If Chaos Rings II is hoping to be considered more than an expansion, it'll need to deliver the goods. New foes is a step in the right direction, sure as sure.

You can check out the Famitsu page for yourself. Obviously, Google's translation tech is shaky at best, so I wouldn't expect to get too much out of the endeavor. We've contacted Square Enix for an English take on what is being shared here. We'll get back to you when or if the publisher decides to get back to us. Until then, enjoy your Chaos Rings II news.
