I always have my ear to the grave, listening for any rumblings in the world of zombies. So I thought I'd bring your attention to a new release from PopCap Games:
Plants vs. Zombies
It's rooted in the tower defense genre, a sort of puzzle/strategy style. There are 26 types of zombies and 49 zombie-zapping plants for you to strategically plant on the playing field to keep the oncoming horde at bay. The learning curve is nicely paced too. Just when you think you've got it mastered, they introduce new environments and special zombies that require new tactics.
But the charm of the game is in the animation, music, and witty humor. Call me a sucker for goofy animated undead, but I find much joy in launching watermelons at a shuffling zombie, who is wearing a bucket on his head for protection.
Available for download on PC and Mac, there's a free demo to try it out. If nothing else, take a look at this video and try to not get this song stuck in your braaaaaiiiiiin:
