Shannon here, and I'm presenting our 1st Zombie Game of the Month...
Plants vs Zombies!
If you have not played Plants vs Zombies by now, then you're missing out. If you have, and it's been a while, it's a game worth a revisit.I was one of those people who heard about this game very early and thought, "That sounds fantastic!" Eagerly, I checked the game store shelves until it came out; occasionally hounding the Gamestop employee who would give me strange looks. The one day he answered me with, "What game are you looking for? Oh, that cheap-o computer game? It's over in that corner."
Even my boyfriend (now husband) shrugged it off. But when I finally found it, I bought it and excitedly went home to play levels 1-4 and stopped. Mostly because my husband got addicted and I watched him play the whole game through. Didn't change the fact that I still love it.
Now, it's been almost three years, and I'm still raving about it. Since I got an iPhone in October, I haven't had the need for any other game. Screw Angry Birds, I want my zombies and sunflowers!
Plants vs Zombies is a simple stratgey game. Plant various plants (which cost sun) to defend your house from the various hordes. It's surprisingly challenging, each level getting a little harder.
While the game is absolutely fun to play, it's design and humor are really what keep anyone playing. Be it from watermelon catapults to a zombie bobsled team. Plus, there's a whole bunch of mini-games to unlock and play.
I've been enjoying it more the 2nd play through, and felt that it had fallen to the wayside so it could use a little good press.
Plants vs Zombies is available for just about every platform out there and ranges between $9.99 and $19.99.
