“Don’t negotiate with them.  Don’t just maim them.  You must kill the orcs,” insisted Patrick Hudson, CEO of Robot Entertainment.  “Robot exists to make great games that our fans love. Orcs Must Die! is our first original title, and we're counting on players to do what must be done: drive the orcs into oblivion!”
