A good horde game to buy?

Hi, i'm looking to buy a game with waves of enemies that you need to kill etc.. (you all know what horde/tower defense is).

I want to get like a gears of war horde mode (if you haven't played it it's basically a serious, high-graphics horde mode, unlike something like orcs must die or dungeon defenders).

i'd prefer to have online match-making, upgrades/defences/etc. able to buy between rounds and also be under £20ish

If you have any suggestions that would be appreciated, thanks.

Top off my head: TF2's Mann vs Machine mode, the Sanctum games and CoD's zombie mini-game.

Dawn of War II has the Last Stand mode which is similar.

ORION: Dino Horde is all about the horde mode, space marines defending against waves of dinosaurs.

Warframe is a free to play game that's done pretty well (disclaimer: haven't played it in months, may have changed, no idea). Some of the missions are horde-mode "defend the core" type things, although there's no upgrading/building between rounds.

Well, it's not tower defense but Killing Floor definitely has waves of enemies. :)

avoid orion dino horde, scummy dev is scummy.
Killing floor for fps, but there are other games too. dawn of war 2 or starcraft 2 mods have tons of good horde modes and they are RTS games.

so....what genre?

well fps or tps is fine, An action shooter where you actively control the player, unlike say plants vs zombies, you have to shoot and run around etc...

Zombie Shooter 1 & 2, Alien Shooter 1 & 2.
Serious, mindless wave after wave of enemies to obliterate fun.
No need to worry about plot, complicated procedures, etc.
Just basically "Take this gun! Shoot all those things over there!"

The end of Zombie Shooter 1 was insane, just an uncountable number of zombie creatures and a boss that takes all of your bullets to defeat. Serious fun.

Section 8: Prejudice also has a horde mode. Problem is the community is pretty much dead, and it requires GFWL, but not getting patched when that goes down.
