    popcap, [john] master[n]s of their craft

    popcap have done it again! popcap, known by many as [john] master[n]s of their craft, have literally done it again, with this tantalising display of raw game-making talent! popcap have the ability to make games of this calibur and more, and PVZ is an epic display of what a developer can do when they spend considerable time making and then releasing a game on steam and on other channels.  popcap are synonymous with PVZ and previously released games, and PVZ puts all those other games and more to shame, and it is a shame to see other developers grovel at the feet of popcap and suck up to them and go, "mmm popcap" and ply them unwanted and unwarrented gifts of unknown origin.  popcap are synonymous with good quality games, and PVZ is as fine an example of a good quality game as any game released previous, during or after the release of PVZ.  plants vs zombos (or PVZ) literally sucked considerable amounts of time and will have you cursing at the amount of time theft occurring whilst playing of the game (PVZ), and after playing you will often ask yourself questions such as, "where did all the time go?", or "i cant believe i just spent 20 hours playing this game (PVZ)", or "am i about to die from food/water/sleep deprivation from excessive playing of this game?". PVZ puts popcap at the centre of the gaming space, if they weren't already there from their impressive lineup of previously released hitmakers. as for the game itself you have you put down plants to kill the zombies but then more zombies come and then you put down more plants and the zen garden.  when the time comes for video games to be literally inserted in to the ear to be played on the game console that is your very brain, PVZ will be literally the first game I boot up, its just that good if not better, you might be thinking, "well thats high praise", and you'd be right, i can't praise this game highly enough, i would literally have to read the dictionary and discover a new lexicon of writing in order to construct and manufacture the words to praise this game in a higher manner befitting an epic game of this calibur and more. i feel tongue tied around PVZ and popcap, i feel like a schoolgirl around them, i feel like a caveman trying to learn to play 500, but most of all, i feel the kind of bliss that you only achieve after climax, i want to bash of heads to get the praise out and because of all those reasons and more, i give this game four stars.

      I've never really liked traditional tower defense games. I've always felt like they lack focus and variety, two components I like in my games. That being said, PopCap Games is not your traditional tower defense developer, and it shows. Plants vs. Zombies is a surprisingly fresh take on the genre, and is a fun, lighthearted game that should be enjoyed by both "casual" and "hardcore" gamers alike.  What Plants vs. Zombies shares with tower defense games is its basic structure. That is, your primar...

      Plants vs Zombies Review 0

      Plants vs. Zombies reintroduces the tower defense genre by incorporating a hordes of zombies against the defense of plants. However does it succeed in its attempt to make a niche genre accessible for everyone? The massive horde of the undead looks to be the dominant theme as of late in video games but none of them are as hilarious as the ones in Plants vs. Zombies. The prominent mode of the game is undoubtedly the Adventure, or the story. However the addition of Puzzle, Minigame, Survival, and ...
