Planning on being stuck on a remote mountaintop with Wi-Fi for a few weeks? Confined to bed? Stuck on a particularly long conference call? Then check out Flash Tower Defense, a site that collects some of the best "tower defense" games. We've covered such games before. These flash games, played in your browser without a download, all involve the same basic idea — you have to protect a base from increasingly tough waves of enemies by placing and upgrading defensive towers. It sounds simple, but in many there's a surprising amount of strategic depth — which types of towers to buy, where to place them, when to upgrade them, etc. Try one; they're addictive.
