Given what some games could smell like (blood, dirt, hellspawn hordes), this is far better than you’d think. Over on Etsy, a haven for geeky goods, seller Bubble and Geek has created a lovely line of fan-favourite home goods.

The next time your neighbour tells you there’s a zombie on your lawn, you can finally reply, “Thanks! Isn’t it cute?” And ideally, your neighbour will have meant the cute little toy zombie from Plants vs. Zombies and will agree with you. (Either that, or you’ll be eaten by horrible, slavering zombies. As happens.)
The people behind Plants Vs. Zombies are adding a ton of new stuff to the iPad version of the game today. That is, it’s “new” if you haven’t played other versions of the game, that is. But, hey, these added modes, all of which have appeared in other, more expensive versions of the game, are mostly pretty good.
Presumably as part of the coming together of Games for Windows and Xbox.com, you can now play four free “trial” games (ie demos) on the Xbox 360′s homepage, right in your browser, no install necessary. The games are Plants vs Zombies, Bejeweled 3, Zuma’s Revenge and Text Twist 2. [Xbox]
Mat Beyer was controversially removed from the show Masterchef for secretly hanging on to his iPhone during the contest, but speaking to PopSugar, Mat was keen to set a few things straight. He was not playing Angry Birds, apparently he hates Angry Birds. He’s all about Plants vs Zombies.
Plants Vs Zombies songstress Laura Shigihara was so impressed by Jonathan Coulton’s ending theme “Want You Gone” that she recorded what might be the most adorable version of the song committed to YouTube video.
