Written by Connor Beaton, published 5th May 2009

PopCap Games today released the insanely random Plants vs. Zombies for PC and Mac, a unique tower defence game which sees players planting dangerous plants to defend themselves from a horde of zombies approaching their home. The game is intended as a humour stategy title for all ages, with positive reactions from both casual and hardcore gamers so far.

“We love zombie games as much as everyone else, but unlike other undead offerings we wanted to create a zombie game that would appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers alike,” explained George Fan, senior game designer at PopCap. “It’s been great to see both casual and hardcore gamers in our beta test group get totally absorbed in the game, clicking intensely as the zombies chomp on their front yards.”
