With an influx of new players on the way with the release of Orcs Must Die! 2. I thought that it might be a good time to make good on my promise and write a guide to becoming a better player. I wasn’t sure how I wanted to do this; therefore I decided to just share some of my thoughts and experiences over the last year while playing OMD. It’s also important to note that “I don’t know everything”. I always approach the game with something to learn. Most of my greatest achievements were inspired by others.

I’ve had tons of fun and will continue to decode a few more secrets, but with OMD2 coming out soon, I will be moving on to the next chapter. Hopefully everyone can learn something from this article and become expert players that push the limits of OMD 2.

Rumor is he is also working on a version of Goldie Locks and the three orcs.

Want to win a cool collectors item from the Robot Team at RTX 2012? After all of the fun and interviews, the Robot team was kind enough to autograph a couple of my media credentials. The Pass was signed by Justin “Sixoay” Korthof-Community Manager, David Kubalak – Art Director, Nate “N8” Stefan – Concept Artist, and Bart Tiongson -Concept Artist.

The guys swore that wearing the pass will add +10% damage to any Hero Academy units attack and increase you head shot percentage in OMD2. This may just be an urban myth, but it’s worth a try.

To win one just email me at kenny@robotentertainmentfans.com or send me a tweet to @kennygamer and say “enter me for the pass contest”. We will pick a winner at random.

Robot Fans interviews Justin Korthof about Orcs Must Die 2 and Hero Academy on Steam. Kenny tries to bribe Justin with comic books for more information about the TF2 team that will be released August 8th.

We were able to catch up with the Robot Team at RTX 2012. We have a series of interviews to be released over the next few days. Here is a first look at Hero Academy :TF2 team in action.

Even Mario stopped by to play the new TF2 Team for Hero Academy and Orcs Must Die 2. More pics and videos one the way!

TheShizno over at the Robot Entertainment forums has discovered the what much wondered bonus that players who own the original Orcs Must Die game will unlock with OMD2. The answer lies on the official Steam page – Classic Mode.

Classic mode will be unlockable for free for all Orcs Must Die! owners and will feature 10 levels from the first game which will now feature co-op with a whole host of new enemies. Hopefully your favourite level will be included!
