PopCap Games has done it again with their latest, addicting gem called Plants vs Zombies. Like most PopCap Games, this is not meant to be a deep 40-60 hour engaging game, but rather a unique pick-up and play style of game. Don't get me wrong, when you first start out playing, you could easily dump a couple of hours without noticing, but games like this do not require a major time commitment.It starts a little slow and takes a while before it becomes a challenge, but the setup and style of the game more than make up for the early lack of challenge. For the most part, it's simlar to a Real-Time Strategy game (RTS). In order to plant the plants that will fight off the hordes of Zombies, you need sun to produce them. Sun acts like the games resource, building up enough sun points to "purchase" other important flowers. These flowers range from offensive, defensive, support, and mass destruction.
On the Zombie side of things, they start off as the usual slow knuckle draggers, but a few levels in you start to notice that they become a bit more enhanced. From wearing street cones on their heads for armor, to poll volting over plants, there's always a wide variety to keep you on your toes.
Do yourself a favor and change things up a little bit with this title that's fun for the entire family. With the low price of $9.99, this one's a no-brainer......B-R-A-I-N-S!!!......ah crap, I better go, they're coming for me! Quick, hit up Steam's site for a fast and easy digital purchase.
