Freeverse may no longer be concentrating on Mac games, but they’re at least making their older games easier and cheaper to buy. They’ve just announced that Hordes of Orcs 2—Developed by MrJoy, Inc. for Mac OS X—is now available on the Mac App Store. “The Glowing Portal of Really Bad Things That We Should Have Bricked-Up a Long Time Ago” has been foolishly un-bricked again, and the Orcs are back, taking Tower Defense gaming to new levels of intensity.
