Plants vs. Zombies Editor's Review

Destroy zombies and save the world with this fun Windows-based game.

Every now and again, taking a break is a good thing.  Playing games can be a big part of that.  I don't play a lot of games, but Plants vs. Zombies caught my eye, and its really a lot of fun. It’s a cool game for Windows machines.

In Plants vs Zombies, you battle 26 different types of zombies with 49 zombie-zapping plants.  The PC version features 50 different levels, 20 different mini games, and the zombie-free Zen Garden. If you've played the game before, then you'll be happy to know that it has 20 new achievements and the interactive Zombatar where you can make a zombie of your very own.

In the game, a mob of zombies invade your home, and your only defense is your arsenal of 49 zombie-zapping plants. You can use peashooters, wall-nuts, cherry bombs and more to slow down, confuse, weaken or make mulch of 26 different kinds of zombies before they can reach your front door. Obstacles like a setting sun, creeping fog and a swimming pool add to the game's challenge.

App Pro’s: Fun, creative

App Con’s: addictive (in a fun way)

Conclusion: Like other popular games on the market today, Plants vs. Zombies is challenging and fun, but also addictive.  You can get lost for hours in this game only to realize that the day has passed you by when you come up for air.  If you're looking for something to help you take a break, Plants vs. Zombies is a good choice but don't dive too deep. You may find out the day has gotten away from you if you do.
