When Logitech announced that it was crowdsourcing a video game using Reddit, I was dubious to say the least. I knew the company could pull it off, but I was fearful that anonymous Internet users would ruin the "Together We Game" experiment.

Luckily, my fears were unfounded, as not only has the game been released, it is actually very fun and normal. In other words, the Internet did not spoil the game. Best of all, the tower defense game is free and available for Windows, OS X and iOS. Will you download PX57?

"Designed and developed for game-players of all levels, PX57 is a traditional tower defense video game designed with the direction of more than 12,000 votes worldwide and brought to life by the director of the New York University Game Lab, Frank Lantz, and a team of gaming experts from Tiny Mantis", says Logitech.

Frank Lantz, director of the New York University Game Center explains, "Logitech made it possible for thousands of people from countries all over the world to come together and contribute to the creation of PX57, and get an inside peek at what goes into the game design and development process. PX57 reflects the ideas and creative choices of everyone who was involved and we're excited to see it come to life. Together We Game was a fun and collaborative process and now it's time for players to dig into the final result".

While the graphics and art are very basic, both the strategy and gameplay are solid; that's the important thing right? I downloaded it on my iPad and was playing in minutes. Nothing is worse than a complicated game with a steep learning curve; PX57 is very accessible while not being too simplistic. I highly recommend it as a fun time waster.
