They're Coming For Your Weeds!!

A game I recently purchased (again) is Plants Vs. Zombies. I originally had it on disk but lost it when I moved house. So a few days ago I bought it on Steam.

The premise of the game is there has been a zombie apocalypse and you must defend your house (and garden) from the undead threat using the power of... Plants... It is a typical Tower Defense game but made in a cartoony style that is meant to appeal to a younger audience. Despite it's childish appearance the game is actually fairly challenging and boasts a wide range of "towers" and zombies.

There are a huge number of mini-games as well as a puzzle and survival mode. The game also contains several achievements, and for the completionists among us it contains enough challenges to keep you playing for a long time.

There is another mode that might make you come back again and again, the Zen garden. There are random drops of the plants you use throughout the game which you can place in a garden. You have to water the plants, use bug spray on them and give them fertiliser to grow. It is a pretty "Zen" experience but not the most enthralling thing. It does however drop coins now and again so can help you afford some of the in-game items.
