Solve the Defense Grid DLC puzzle: It's for science, she's a monster
22
Defense Grid's first story-expansion add-on drops for science on Dec. 7. Titled "You Monster," the DLC features Zoey from Left 4 Dead, who has to navigate various traps and -- just kidding. It features Portal's GLaDOS, and if you really want to play this piece of DLC, you'd better learn to not fall for transparent ruses like that one. GLaDOS will laugh at you. And call you fat. And probably kill you.
"You Monster" will cost $4.99 on Steam or 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360, and contains eight new levels and 35 challenge missions, adding more than 15 hours of content where players will fight off Defense Grid aliens and complete GLaDOS' tests. Or, at least you'll try.

Kinda interesting to see something like an appearance from GLaDOS in this type of game, especially so considering she seems to play a pretty large role here.

For a minute I thought this was new DLC for Portal 2. Way to bum me out, Joystiq :((

But the preview image only shows a door from Portal. I thought the same thing for a second.

It's good to see that reading comprehension is alive and well.

DG is the best premium tower defense out there. It's what I measure all other TD by. Note, as a freebie, HP has already delivered bonus modes to all the old content, including Shredder, my current favorite.
Story doesn't always interest me, but DG's original voice actor was fantastic, and pairing him off with GLaDOS actually has me looking forward to the story.

Fully agree. Between the main story and the challenge modes, Defense Grid has been, easily, one of the best investments I've made on Steam.
Kind of surprised that they are dropping DLC at this point, though. The last expansions came out a pretty long time ago.

Awesome, they're actually continuing the store from the 2 levels added in the Potato Sack update. It's too bad that the graphics glitched up horribly for those 2 levels though.
Still, that aside, as long as they keep up the difficulty, I'll be sure to get this!

Holy poo! And here I thought they had forgotten about DG. I would have already been psyched by the prospect of more levels, but this is just ridiculous! The sort of news that makes me do a triple-take.

Huh, just last night I went to play a little Defense Grid (well, tried to; it locked up on the title screen and I went to bed instead). I guess they know how to get my five bucks...

This is really confusing marketing.

@343 Guilty Fart it's just another maze from GLaDOS, with love

I figured for sure when I started reading this that it would only be available on Steam. Glad to see it's coming to the XBLA version as well. Definitely will buy.

Reminds me, I still have half the DG campaigns to finish. Must go back and do that. It's a great Tower Defence game.

Awesome game, when I put down Skyrim I'll get this dlc.

Sweet!!!! I've yet to find a tower defense game as good as Defense Grid - and not for lack of trying - so I'm stoked to see some solid new levels for it.
