***Rock of Ages*** is a Monty Python-esc styled tower defense franchise with a rolling ball mechanic. The game was developed by ACE Team, and published by Atlus USA.

The goal of the game is to use a Stone Boulder to Defeat your enemy by smashing into your enemies castle at the bottom of the hill. You also need to be able to defend your own castle, which you can do by placing various obstacles like Animals, Buildings, Dynamite, and windmills. When your Boulder has been finished, you will then be able to control your boulder. You will need to try to get to the end-goal as fast as possible while avoiding the obstacles your enemy has placed, and then try to hit your enemies gate with as much force as possible. After a few hits, the gate has been opened. When it is, you will have to splat your enemy using the Boulder, and you win the level.

The game was released in august of 2011 for Xbox 360, 7 September for windows, and 15 May 2012 for the PlayStation 3.

## The Story

The game includes a Story mode, where you play as Sisyphus. He was punished by Cronus for his craftiness and deceitfulness and had to Roll the Boulder up a hill. He kept getting poked in the bum and then had to do it all over again. This repeated itself over and over again. After a while he had enough, so he had a plan. If he used the Boulder to smash through Cronos's temple, he could finally escape and roam around Earth.

When he made his way to earth, he accidentally smashed the Trojan Horse, Aggravating Agamemnon, and making him run to his own castle. After Agamemnon was killed by Sisyphus, he made his way over to King Leonidas. Leonidas coming out of his castle, walking past his 300 men. When trying to kick Sisyphus into a pit, he accidentally kicked him over the pit. This aggravated King Leonidas, starting another battle. After King Leonidas was killed, Sisyphus entered the Middle ages. while trying to cross a nature made bridge, he killed a Gandalf-esc person, aggravating Emperor Justinian. (WIP, more coming soon)
