Take up Gardening Plants vs. Zombies Style
Chances are if you have ever been on Facebook, or held a mobile phone, you have seen Bejeweled, the flagship title from PopCap Games. The company’s mandate is “to create fun games that literally everyone can enjoy,” and as their website points out, this means a lot of simple games that are easy to learn but hard to master. A winning combination, but in the realm of puzzle games what comes next? Enter their latest hit – Plants vs. Zombies.
A line of Wall-nuts is great for defending the more vulnerable plants of your garden. And you know what they say: "a pea (shooter) a day keeps the zombies away."
If the name itself didn’t already make you grin just a little, then perhaps the quirky humour of this game is not your bag. The plot revolves around protecting your house from various waves of zombies which want to eat your brains. As the undead shamble across the yard, you must plant vegetables and other flora to guard your home. It combines all aspects of PopCap’s fun, simple, and terribly addictive mandate with the increased popularity of your (to use a cute pun from the game) ‘garden-variety zombie.’ Only this time, instead of the bright, seamless grid-based point accumulation of Bejeweled, PopCap has also brought along a writer.
