A Mutant Crop Of Plants Vs. Zombies Blooms On Facebook

While fans of the war between plant life and human undeath wait anxiously for July’s Plants Vs. Zombies 2, the eternal battle has spilled over into Plants Vs. Zombies Adventures, a Facebook game where planting virtual crops could save your life. Rather than the corridor-based battles of its big brother, Plants Vs. Zombies Adventures reverts to more traditional tower defence.


Here’s A Teaser Trailer For Plants Vs. Zombies 2

Plants vs. Zombies 2, the much-anticipated (and much-discussed) sequel to 2009′s smash hit Plants vs. Zombies, will be out this July. Here’s a teaser trailer featuring our good buddy Francis.


App Review: An Annoying New Way To Play One Of The Best Word Games

I love word games, and PopCap’s Bookworm series has always treated me right. I’ve spent countless hours playing Bookworm and the epic role-playing hybrid Bookworm Adventures, knowing full-well that once I start playing a game in the franchise I’m not stopping for anything. That is, unless it’s the new turn-based Bookworm Heroes.


Does Anyone Actually Need A Bejeweled Board Game?

PopCap’s addictive casual puzzler has sold millions of digital copies; pretty soon it’ll be able to supplement its huge pile of cash with money from board and card game versions as well.


Popcap Reveals Its Hidden Agenda For Facebook

In a small town where everybody has a secret, a rift between two powerful families threatens to tear apart bonds formed through history, business and blood. PopCap’s upcoming hidden object mystery for Facebook bears the mark of many classic tales of drama and suspense. It also bears bears.


Plants Vs. Zombies Comes To Zen’s Pinball Suites Next Week

How To Lay People Off In The Video Game Industry

A layoff is a layoff is a layoff, to misquote Gertrude Stein. Surely, they all suck. But they also happen. Some would say they have to happen, capitalism being what it is and such and such.


The Next Plants Vs Zombies Game Is A…Multiplayer Shooter?

This afternoon’s great PopCap mystery may now be a little less mysterious: a Canadian industry source with ties to Electronic Arts has told Kotaku that a small team at EA’s Burnaby campus is working on a new entry in the Plants vs Zombies franchise.


Want More Plants Vs. Zombies? This Technically Counts

PvZ Presents: Talking Zombatar, coming to smart phones and tablets later this year from PopCap Games, is decidedly NOT Plants Vs. Zombies 2. You will be able to buy new outfits for your pet dead thing, so I guess that’s something.


Sometimes You Just Have To Lie To Your Kid

Before I tell you the story of how I tricked and deceived my son, an innocent seven-year-old who trusts me with his life, his happiness and his dignity, let me first explain how much I hate Plants vs. Zombies. I cringe just typing the name. A clip of the music or a piece of the art is enough to make my gut shrink. I don’t blame the game, which is a perfectly great, smartphone-friendly tower defence title. I hate it because of my son.
