A bit more about the games not claimed yet...
Infans Solaris
"Taking inspiration from the classic game Asteroids and other fast-paced games of the genre such as Geometry Wars, Infans Solaris (Latin for "Sun Child") pits 1-4 players in a battle to save Earth and themselves from a lethal barrage of cold, lifeless asteroids. Harnessing future technology, players are able to create blackholes, causing nearby debris to be pulled into an ever-consuming void that grows stronger as more asteroids are pulled in and broken down." (sounds a lot like the "dark matter" Asteroids clone but with multi player on one screen)

Youtube is full of videos because some levels can have clever solutions. One at random http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blPJ5N1Lku8 (quite long)
I *really*got into this game - it is abstract, can get intense, and has a lot of levels. There's even a level generated based on the date, which can be lame or totally crazy :)
Guilty Gear Isuka - was a PS2 game. This is some kind of port. Don't know much about it
RIP / RIP strike back top down shooter http://www.outofeight.info/2006/04/rip-strike-back-review.html

I'd missed one: Sanctum, a First Person Shooter Tower Defense where you take the role as Skye, an elite soldier sent out to protect her home town, Elysion One, from hordes of mysterious alien creatures. On Steam.
And... nobody wants Portal? There's cake!
Carol Haynes:
Thanks for Defense Grid - really enjoying it.
Only problem is it is very time consuming - love the graphics.
Trouble is I always seem to get killed in the last moments of each level - haven't got my strategy totally sussed yet!

Some Defense Grid StrategyI was having a hard time with Defense Grid's later levels until I saw somebody say they could beat every single level with just Guns, Cannons, and Temporals (and Anti-Air for maps with heavy air traffic). Throw in an occasional Command tower here and there near your kill zones to rack up extra money and you've likely got a formula for success on those levels you can't figure out a strategy for.
Also a lot of the strategy involves just making the aliens take a really long path.
And sometimes when I just can't kill that boss in time I will "juggle" them by opening up a path on one end and closing off the one he's heading for, and then when he gets close to the exit I reverse it by opening up the original path and closing off the one he's currently heading for. This makes them run by my guns multiple times as they head for the moving exit.
