I don't know what drew me to Plants vs. Zombies in the first place, but now, battling my way through level after level of plant eating zombies is my idea of fun. What's so special about the game you ask? Well, it's a simple premise: defend your house from zombies with the help of killer plants which stun, chomp, and act as obstacles to keep the undead away. But sometimes, it's the simple things that are the most addictive.
In adventure mode, there's 50 levels of zombie action that has your plants working overtime while the army of zombies (including pole vaulters and a bobsled team) gets faster and smarter. Earn up to 49 types of plants to protect your home (like Sunflowers, Peashooters, Cherry Bombs, and Potato Mines) and play in five different game modes to combat game burnout.

There's definitely a strategy to Plants vs. Zombies (which I won't spoil), but the only reservation I have is the price: $20! I guess you'd pay the same for a DS game at your local game store, and for the fun factor, I really can't complain. Plants vs. Zombies is perfect for on the go gaming on your PC or Mac, and works great on my tiny HP Mini, too! Plus, there's a free trial download, so you can be sure you love it before you buy.

Nice to know I'm not the only one who's hooked!
1If you sign up for a Steam Account (steam is a gaming client that allows you to buy and play games on any computer that is logged on to your account) the game is 9.99. I got it for 5 bucks during some sale, where I took advantage of that and told all my friends.
2I love this game!
3Oh yes, I love love love this game. Once you beat Adventure Mode, you can go back through again and there's some added challenges along the way. That roof level is a doozy!
And you didn't mention the Zen Garden mode! You can grow each of the plants in the game in your own little garden. That's one of my favorite features.
$20 was a little steep, I agree. The amount of fun I've gotten out of it was worth it, though. Cinds, is Steam Windows only? I've thought about checking it out, but I'm on a Mac. That's awesome that you got this game for $5!
I haven't played in awhile... I think I will right now.
4Omg I was addicted to playing this game! when I explained to my friends the concept they were like, nah too simple. glad to know someone else appreciates it!
5Why did you introduce me to this game? It took up a good month of my life!
