Plants Vs Zombies

“Hey dude, that’s a pretty nice garden you’ve got there…been taking care of it eh? Coo—HOLY SHIT IS THAT A ZOMBIE ON YOUR LAWN?! Quick, kill the da—did your plant just throw a watermelon at that zombie’s hea—WHAT THE HELL KIND OF WEED IS THAT?! WHAT KIND OF GARDEN DO YOU HAVE?!” The kind of pimp garden needed to defend a house.

So before you ask what the hell I just wrote, imagine that you are a home-owner in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. They’ve been passing through homes, devouring the brains of those in them, and now they’re coming for you...day…and…night.

Thankfully, your friendly (and crazy) neighbor has given you special seeds in order to defend your home against the zombie invasion. These plants do a variety of things, from creating an effective wall, to creating a line of FIRE, to printing money.

Welcome to the world of Plants vs. Zombies.

I may have been late to this party, but I’m glad I came :3.

. …

That didn’t come out right.

ANYWAY, Plants vs. Zombies is similar to many tower defense games that have come out in the past, except THIS game takes that concept, cranks it up to 11, adds a pinch of Tabasco sauce, and lets it rip.

In order for you to defend your home, you’re going to need plants. In order to get plants, you’re going to need Sun. Sun is the resources needed to plant your seeds, and in order to get it, you either have to wait for Sun to trickle down from the sky (They’re sun tokens :3) or get them from your Sunflowers.

But wait…what happens when it gets dark?

Well, let’s just say that if Mario and Luigi visited your lawn at night, they’d be in heaven. The zombies are no slouches either. As the game progresses, the zombies will figure out different tactics for breaking through your defenses. This ranges from simply putting a cone on their head, to pole-vaulting over your plants, to outright beefing up and beating the ever-loving shit out of your plants.

Of course, your plants evolve too.

The dynamics for this game keep the player coming back for more, as there are so many ways to defend your house, a large variety of combinations for zombie invasions, and many…many…different plants.

And don’t forget the mini-games.

This is a game that I HIGHLY recommend people to play.

BOOM!!!

Oh good, my Cherries exploded! See ya! Gotta kill more zombies!
