You want to play this game. No, it doesn’t have the latest HD graphics or 3D environments, but it does have plants and zombies fighting. That bears repeating. Plants and zombies. Fighting. To the death. The brain-obsessed horde is mounting an assault on your house and your last line of defense is a well-tended garden. Yeah, it’s really that ridiculous, but its utter weirdness makes the game insanely addictive. Who needs a plasma cannon when you have potato mines, cherry bombs (literally) and massive, zombie-chomping Venus Flytraps?

Once you’re caught up in the nonsensical madness of it all, you’ll quickly be hooked by the game’s intricate and not-so-intricate strategies – deciding which plants will help the most and executing a mad dash to plant and replant as zombies tear through your yard, eating your garden like it’s a pre-meal salad bar. With pole-vaulting zombies, zombies with road cones on their heads and even a zombie dolphin, Plants vs. Zombies is a fresh reminder of how much fun mindless cartoon violence can be.
