Coming Thursday January 19th to PC and Mac via Steam and iPad via iTunes the Unstoppable Gorg is a new blend of tower defense and 50’s sci-fi kitsch. All the story scenes were shot using film and cheap special fx plus stock footage to give the Unstoppable Gorg a throwback look that’s unmatched. But don’t think this is your standard tower defense game as you are charged with protecting earth in space so that means your towers will have to be placed on orbit tracks not just willy-nilly. Check out the trailer below for some smoother than cheezwiz fun and be sure to hit up steam this coming thursday January 19th 2012 to download what’s sure to be a blast.

Unstoppable Gorg is a lovingly crafted homage to vintage sci-fi films from the 1950s. Flying saucers, rubbery aliens, dodgy effects, it’s got them all. The game’s story scenes were shot on film using models, miniatures and live action actors and then edited together with genuine archive footage to create a classic sci-fi experience that is out of this world.
