Plants Vs. Zombies

So, yesterday, I was going to give my second game recommendation, but I got caught up in my filler story about wearing a menstruation cup symbol on my head without knowing about it for a month. And then figured it would be wisest to conserve the next piece of information until the next post, since I've got plenty of rt\free time now, with no excuse not to post, and yet, not enough new news to make sure this blog is worth keeping running.

I'd better make sure I have enough new stuff to keep updating.

After Yume Niki, my next game suggestion was Plants Vs Zombies.

This one wasn't made by one person, or under mysterious intent. It even made Game of the Year, originating as a game costing $1, expanding slowly to a might $10!

In this game, our are facing a zombie apocalypse. Your only mode of defence? You grow a garden.

Grow Sunflowers to generate sun. With sun, you can grow other plants, such as Peashooters, which fire peas at zombies for a base offense, Wallnuts, which create a defense, and Spikeweeds, which cause damage as zombies step over them. If you make enough money, you can buy upgrades to existing plants such as Double Sunflowers, which you can plant on your Sunflowers to generate twice as much sun, Gattling Peas, which you can plant on your Repeaters (which are an upgrade on Peashooters), and Spikerocks, which are an upgrade on Spikeweeds.

You need to adapt to multiple environments such as night, where you'll need to grow mushroom equivalents to replace your daytime, sun-reliant plants; on water, where you'll need to plant atop Lilly Pads, or on the roof, where the incline will require you to use such catapult-style plants as Cabbage-pults, Kernel-pults, Melon-pults, and Winter-pults.

In the $10 Premium addition, they also have a meriad of different modes. You can play IZombie, where you play Zobies vs. Plants, and a mode called Zombotony, where you play Plants vs. Plants.

This only scrapes the surface of this incredible and addictive game. I've beaten it already, and am on my way to defeating it a second time, this time with a focus on gathering "achievements" and also, abiding the requirements they place on you on the second runthrough.

If I'm not updating enough, blame Plants Vs. Zombies.
