Plants VS Zombies (Complete)

Cute? Check. Hip? Check. Good graphics? Check.
This weekend I completed Plants VS Zombies. It took me about a month playing it off and on a few minutes at a time. I want to give you two warnings: 1) this game is very addictive and 2) this game is very easy.
I died like twice during my time playing it. I figured out a good strategy in every level that worked out really well. The last “boss fight” was pretty fun. It was kind of challenging too which was nice.
I started playing it on the PC and then picked it up on the iPhone for $3. All in all it was a very strong purchase. My wife wanted it to have multiplayer so we could play it together. That would have been fun.
Brains!

I got a hand me down PC from my friend Jeremy the other week. It is a fairly high powered AMD 64 3400+. After putting 1G of RAM in it and a Nvidia 7600 I had kicking around its a pretty decent older gaming PC.
A few years ago my wifes brother gave me Halflife 2 and I installed it at the time and setup a steam account. I didn’t play Halflife 2 much then because I was using Linux and it was a pain to play that way. After getting this gaming PC ready I installed steam on it and downloaded a few demos of games I heard were really good.
I downloaded Torchlight and Plants VS Zombies.
Torchlight
Torchlight is a game where you dungeon crawl to kill bad guys and get loot. Its extremely similar to Diablo. Music and all. Tthis game is very well done and the game play is really fun. After playing through the demo I decided to pick it up. The boxed copy was $20. The download was $20. I opted for the boxed copy because I saw 0 benefit to paying the same for a digital download.
Plants VS Zombies
Plants VS Zombies is from the company that made Zuma, Bejeweled and Peggle. I warn you, Plants VS Zombies is addictive. I played through the 60 minute demo and immediately pirated it so I could keep playing. Later that day I went to the store and bought it. I love this game I also picked it up for $3 on the iPhone.
I can’t recommend this game more. If I were you id pickup the boxed retail copy because it comes with the Windows and Mac version and its the same as buying it digitally on the Pop Cap site. Oh wait, its less on Amazon for $15…. Anyways.
You can play the game on the Pop Cap site for free but id recommend downloading the demo to put it into fullscreen mode.
