"This update will also come with Game Center Achievements and a micro-game titled, ‘Race to China.’ It’s got something to do with Chinese Zombies and digging your way to china. Wha? I hope that makes sense to iphone players."
Stocks have been having really crazy up's and down's for weeks now so EA's baby Zynga is holding off on going public right now. They want to go into the stock market at a good time and do good and think the way things are in the market now is just a bad time.

Along with the release of the game, they have fabricated one of the most addicting songs I have heard in recent memory, "There's a Zombie on Your Lawn.""
Daav from NoobFeed.com receives another bomb parcel in the mail. With Osama being dead and all, it's pretty safe to say it won't be anthrax. The giant label marked PopCap might also be an indicator. And who doesn't enjoy unwrapping some undead?

"The following is a list of 25 exceptional single player games. It covers a diverse range of styles and genres but each title offers a worthwhile gaming experience. Each game on this list is either exclusively a solo affair or, in the few cases where a multiplayer mode is present, the single player campaign is the core experience of the game. Games with multiplayer modes are denoted with an asterisk and the list is presented in no particular order."
"Zombies are everywhere these days. They've staggered out of the closet, come out of the catacombs, exploded onto the streets of Hollywood and according to what I heard, have even dabbled in the hentai industry. Where cool was once the exclusive territory of the bold and the beautiful, it's now slowly being overrun by individuals of a different flavor. A putrid, maggot-infested flavor, to be precise.
The previous generation had the Suicide Girls. Ours has zombies."
Downloadable games have really come into their own in the current generation of video game consoles. Some of today's downloadable games are every bit as fun, rewarding and polished as their disc-based big brothers. Some even go where bigger games never could. Here are the best of the best.

As usual Andy delivers this week's news in gaming and we make up for the light gaming week with some substantial casual discussion."
""Plants vs. Zombies, the latest sensation from the wizards at PopCap Games, has invaded several platforms now, including iPad and iPhone, but haven’t yet found their way to game consoles…until yesterday, when the game finally arrived on Xbox Live Arcade. But can a game that usually relies on touch-screen specifications or mouse control survive with a game controller? The answer is absolutely. In fact, you’ll be hard pressed to put it down.""
September marks the beginning of an onslaught of big new blockbuster releases for the fall season. Here are the top ten upcoming games to look forward to for this month.
"PopCap Games' Plants vs Zombies has successfully invaded the PC and iPhone and currently has its decaying hands clasped on a September release for Xbox LIVE. Now the tower defense game featuring cutesy cartoon plants defending your home against a madcap zombie invasion is headed to the Nintendo DS."
"In a tale of utter ineptitude, a police officer in Agora, Lapasan in Cagayan de Oro City (in the Philippines) allowed five inmates to escape from custody. The reason? He was so engrossed in his game of Plants vs. Zombies, that he didn't even notice."
Cute new trailer for Plants vs Zombies for its release to Xbox LIVE Arcade. Shows off some of the familar gameplay but also some of the new features in the game.
"In a classic of example of a thought bubble filled with questions marks and exclamation points over someone's head, PopCap Games has removed a Michael Jackson-like zombie from the iPhone version of the popular Plants vs Zombies game. The removal comes at the request of the Michael Jackson estate."
"The popular Plants vs Zombies tower defense game from PopCap Games hasn't officially been announced for the Xbox 360 but it's pretty much been confirmed that it is coming. Further confirmation comes a leak of the Achievements for the game which also brings news of two new features that aren't in the PC or iPhone versions."
"In developer Pop Cap’s latest game, Plants Vs. Zombies, you fend off ravenous zombies with a variety of war-ready plants. The game combines zombies and tower defense gameplay in a fresh take on the two genres (zombies are a genre, right?). The game is packed with humorous characters and situations and has a style all its own. Where else can you dispatch a zombie Michael Jackson with an angry jalapeño pepper?"
PopCap today announced a new "HD" version of their super-popular Plants Vs. Zombies just for the Apple iPad, which takes advantage of the devices' increased screen real estate as well as bringing some new mini-games that are exclusive to this edition.
Attending MegaCon this past year for all three days, my small crew and myself managed to capture possibly every (non anime) cosplayer at the event. Of course for Gaming news, I'm linking you to the gaming cosplayers, but I suggest using this link as more pictures (and video) will be added. Enjoy!
"Every day, there’s more evidence of the rise of niche market gaming. Take a look in your pocket. What games are on your cell phone? Maybe you’ve just got the demos that came on the phone, but the numbers show that most of you have paid for at least one cell phone game. The iPhone port of Plants vs. Zombies made a million dollars in the first week alone."
Another episode of the onCAST video game podcast has just been released on to the internet! This episode Ronnie and Andreas discuss Heavy Rain, Plants vs Zombies for the iPhone, Fallout New Vegas, and loads more!
"One of the most highly anticipated iPhone games will be available sooner than you might think. We've just received word that PopCap's port of the world's first "flower defense" game will be arriving in just under a week. To be more specific: February 15, 2010."
If it's not a mystery that Plants vs Zombies, one of the most successful casual games this year, is expected on iPhone, the release date was revealed on Popcap Games's Facebook page, thanks to an answer of a question from a follower.
It seems that the game will be out on the App Store late January but there is still no indication on the price.
Popcap's casual Zombie tower defense game, Plants vs. Zombies has been nominated for Best PC Game of the Year at the 2009 SpikeTV Video Game Awards. This is the first time that a game from a "casual" studio has gone up against AAA titles from large publishers. Other nominees are Dragon Age: Origins, Left 4 Dead 2, and The Sims 3.
The popular PC game Plants vs Zombies is now coming to the Xbox Live Arcade. For those who don't know, Plants Vs Zombies is a Tower-Defense esque game. There is no word on a Release Date as of yet.
"Yes, all the things you’re thinking right now…I thought them too. It’s not that there aren’t fun PopCap games out there…but they aren’t exactly what you expect to see as a review on Binge Gamer - or on most gaming sites, for that matter. But PvZ is different. Really different. I actually can’t believe that it isn’t available on consoles yet. I’m ashamed to be addicted to a freakin’ PopCap game.
PvZ is a classic tower defense game. Basically, you have a yard that’s divided into squares. On ..."

Plants vs. Zombies

New game announcements
News of the week"
"I would have never imagined the creators of Bejeweled would have something that would interest me, but they succeeded with the success of Peggle, available on virtually everything with a screen. Their latest game Plants Vs. Zombies struck my interest just by the title alone, who doesn’t love stuff with zombies in it. What I got was a game that completely blew me away and would not let me quit playing due to my loss of will power. The tower defense genre is getting tapped out and its nice to s..."
