I made the mistake of subscribing for the New York Times through their website. Not only do I incur a foreign currency fee from my credit card, I am also unable to set up an appointment with their call Center staff just to cancel my subscription. I originally wanted to switch to paying through Apple instead because it charges in my local currency, but at this point I want nothing to do with NYT anymore.

It's actually a pretty typical tower defence, but the presence of all the traditional elements (towers for mazing, towers for splash, towers for massive damage) without any minor/major nuisances (e.g. weird towers that don't work, levels that don't scale well, etc.) makes for a solid game that feels worth the price (especially since its discounted from $4.99 atm!). My only complaint is the inability to play with partial sound (ie. Ngmoco's Mazefinger lets u play your own music with in-game sounds) and the need to pass certain requirements to unlock maps (i paid for the game why shouldn't I get
