    Plants vs Zombies

    Anyone else got Popcap's latest yet? I downloaded it yesterday after reading Edge's review (9/10) and promptly lost the rest of my evening hopelessly addicted.

    So far I've nailed the first 30 levels and it's just starting to get hard.

    Re: Plants vs Zombies

    Yes I downloaded from Steam yesterday. It looks like it could get very addictive, but then I have the perfect addiction antidote - my wife who asks why I'm playing some silly game and ignoring her? So I only played it for about 30 mins

    I do hope Crazy Dave makes some more appearances - I nearly wet myself when he did his bit about wall-nuts

    Yeah, Crazy Dave pops up all the time and later runs a shop out of the boot of his car. It's also well worth a look at the Almanac at the zombie/plant descriptions - some are comedy gems.

    Re: Plants vs Zombies

    I've been hearing about this game too, and my mate just got it... tempted myself to take the minor plunge but I'm supposed to be behaving myself with my money - regardless of the amount

    Re: Plants vs Zombies

    Out of interest, has anyone tried flock? Was looking at that game to and was wondering if it was worth the purchase.

    Not the hardest amongst tower defence games, but this makes it a lot easier to get into. Great fun, I finally managed to buy my 10th slots, although there are quite a few items (all the offensive upgrades) I've not bought yet. The Zen garden is definitely one of the best way to raise money.

    Re: Plants vs Zombies

    Got it for the mrs and didn't get a word out of her last night.
    If you get addicted to Popcap games this is no exception!

    Definitely a good easy way to get into tower defense games.

    +1 I finished this last night, not failing on any level. It was good fun though and I'm looking forward to taking on the mini-games and survival mode which I suspect is a tad bit harder.

    I played the demo of it on steam a couple of days ago, found it great (especially the bowling minigame) but I felt it would probably get old quite fast, and I don't really have the money to spend at the moment

    Re: Plants vs Zombies

    I have to say, Survival Endless do get challenging. I am at flag 26, but I lost all my my tall nuts and torches. This is bad because most of my offensive capabilities are derived from Gatling peashooters end at this level, the waves come fast, strong and furious from the start.
