Winner: 2011 Parents Choice Award.
Excellent fast-paced strategy game. A mob of fun-loving zombies is about to invade your home, and your only defense is an arsenal of zombie-zapping plants. Fun for the whole family – anyone age 5 to 105 can enjoy this game!
“Plants
vs. Zombies leaps to the head of the tower defense pack by virtue of
its polish, humor, simplicity and seductive strategic depth.”

-New York Times
“Lovingly made, so joyfully silly, and yet completely compelling.”

My thoughts:
This is one of those games that seemed like EVERYONE was playing but I hadn't checked out just because of the name honestly. I'm not much of a zombie freak and I had assumed it was a dark game. But now I get it! This is a crazy addicting game. The first time I played I lost within seconds. I wondered, what the heck people could possibly love about this game, I didn't understand it. Then after a few attempts, I accidently got it right and I fell in love. I would suggest doing what I recommend to my kids with every new game...READ THE DIRECTIONS. If you play video games at all, you know the manuals that come with the game have become pretty much useless. BUT the on screen directions actually tell you a lot if you don't get impatient and flip through them. I am pretty sure that was my mistake but nonetheless it probably took less than 5 minutes to get the idea anyway. And then I played for about an hour without realizing how much time had passed. The boys had fun watching me play and then eventually playing on their own...you know when I am willing to give it up!
