There are, I think, four people left on Earth who don’t own the following titles from PopCap Games: [$2.99 / HD] and [$2.99]. If you don’t, shame on you sirs. If you do already have them, here’s some good news -- Peggle now supports the Retina Display and PVZ now has the Zen Garden. Both of these respective updates are available for free right now. The news of the Peggle update broke yesterday afternoon, just about right when the update when live on the App Store. This update fixes, really, the only issue I had with the original game, which is to say, its muddy, out-dated visuals. The Zen Garden is a different beast. It functions just like how it does in PVZ proper. It’s an interactive garden that gives you cash in return for your green thumbs. You earn plants in the campaign or by purchasing them from Crazy Dave. Read More

Posted 05/13/2011 at 4:10pm | by Susie Ochs Who doesn't want to save a buck or two on a great iOS game? Nobody. I mean, think about it -- personally, I eat a lot of Mexican food. So saving $2 is like getting a free taco. Which is one of the best things that can happen in the world, amirite? And since these three apps are only a dollar on sale, maybe you can buy one for yourself and gift another to a friend in honor of Friday the 13th or something. Everybody wins. This is a classic example of PopCap's utter brilliance. If you haven't played it yet, you simply owe it to yourself. If you have, you know what I'm talking about. The iPhone version is on sale for 48 hours (today and tomorrow, we guess) as part of PopCap's "Crazy Dave's Deals," in which they'll discount a new Read More

Posted 05/11/2011 at 11:04am | by Andrew Groen Back in March we reported on the announcement of an officially licensed iPhone game based on the legendary cult-classic Army of Darkness. Today that game arrived in the New Zealand App Store which means there's a very high likelihood the game will be arriving in App Stores around the world in the coming hours. The game is played in a castle-defense style with undead hordes throwing themselves at your defenses. In a way, the game looks to borrow an element from iconic castle-defense game Plants vs Zombies [iTunes Link]. Before each match it looks as if you have to select which units you'll bring with you into the battle. It also looks like you'll have some special spells that you'll be able to bring, although specific details are difficult to glean at this point. Army of Darkness Defense will be available soon for Read More

Some neat news is spilling from PopCap Games this morning. The publisher and creator of titles such as Plants vs. Zombies [$2.99 / HD] and Bejeweled [$.99] has announced the launch of a brand new label called “4th & Battery,” an eclectic name brought about by the actual position of its offices in Seattle, Washington. The mission of 4th & Battery is simple: to put out smaller, much more adventurous titles to handhelds and the social web without concern for business stuff like, say, profit. In a press release announcing the formation of the label, PopCap takes great care in positioning 4th & Battery as an edgier development house, home to games that are targeted to adults and combine interesting and experimental components. Here's what PopCap Games' CCO Jason Kapalka had to say about in a statement: The first game, dubbed Unpleasant Horse, is a curious one indeed. In it, you'll Read More

Posted 03/18/2011 at 8:05am | by Andrew Groen The highly celebrated casual games develop PopCap has announced today that for 48 hours, beginning Saturday at 12:01 AM PDT, all of their iOS games will be on sale. The proceeds of the sale will be donated to the Red Cross for Japan's tsunami relief fund. The sale ends at midnight on Sunday March 20. For the duration of the sale, all of their iPhone games will be reduced to 99 cents and iPad games will be $1.99. According to the press release, this includes the company's mega-hits like Bejeweled [iTunes Link], Bookworm [iTunes Link], Peggle [iTunes Link], and Plants vs Zombies [iTunes Link]. As of this printing, Peggle had not been reduced in price, while all of the other games had. It's likely this is just a holdup over at Apple. If you've ever been curious to try out PopCap's many multimillion-selling Read More

Posted 02/18/2011 at 9:33am | by Andrew Groen Even though several different platforms had games that were nominated, iPhone gaming stole the show at this year's International Mobile Gaming Awards. The nominees were announced last month and judges were brought in to deliberate shortly thereafter. We have the results of the awards, and while some came as a bit of a surprise, others were destined for victory. The full results are listed below: Best Casual Game: Plants vs. Zombies [iTunes Link] Best Real World Game: AR Invaders [iTunes Link] Best Sports Game: Snowboard Hero [iTunes Link] Excellence in Design: Infinity Blade [iTunes Link] Excellence in Game Play: Beyond Ynth [iTunes Link] Most innovative Game: Papa Sangre [iTunes Link] People's Choice Award: Perfect Cell [iTunes Link] Operator's Choice Award: Snowboard Hero [iTunes Link] Grand Prix / Game of the Year: Beyond Ynth [iTunes Link] Certain games like Plants vs. Zombies were virtually Read More

This has been a crazy week at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. I saw a ton of different kinds of mobile phones, tablets, and other devices running all sorts of non-iOS apps and operating systems. Overall, it was really interesting checking out what the competition has to offer. Unfortunately, it was rather difficult to truly gauge the relative gaming performance of these new phones and tablets, as curiously enough, most were just loaded with a smattering of ports of last year's Gameloft games (or older, in the case of Shrek Kart) and Angry Birds. When asked, despite superior hardware, most developers still seemed reluctant to invest too much time or energy in to building games for these new devices, really making me wonder how much longer this "wait and see" approach will persist. Anyway, the reason I was even in attendance at Mobile World Congress in the first place was Read More

Welcome to the TUAW Holiday Gift Guide! We've sorted the treasure from the junk and are serving up suggestions to make your holiday gift-giving a little easier. We're about to enter what has been, in the past, the busiest weekend for App Store purchases. After people everywhere unwrap new iPhones, iPod touches and iPads during this Christmas weekend, they'll run to their computers to set up iTunes, then go shopping out on the App Store for software for their new devices. But there are a lot of different games to choose from on the App Store, and especially for people who only use software casually, it may be tough to find a few solid titles beyond the usual suspects. That's what we're here for, and we've got a list of 10 great iOS games meant specifically for casual game players. If you're a more hardcore gamer, you'll know that there are Read More

Apple has compiled a list called their 2010 Rewind. In it, they have named the top Apps of the year, and gathered them all up into one page so that they can easily be found. Let’s take a look at their top Apps in each category. On this list, you will find Apple’s best apps of 2010. Everything from best iPhone games of 2010 to best educational apps of 2010. Note that these are not our picks (though many of our favorites did make the list) but it’s a compilation of Apple’s favorite Apps of the 2010. Let’s take a look at Apple’s iTunes 2010 rewind: Shoot, Edit, Share – Best of iPhone Camera Utility Apps of 2010 1) Hipstamatic – 99 cents      2) Path – Free 3) Instagram – Free 4) Pocketbooth – 99 cents 5) iMovie – $4.99      6) Splice – Video Editor – 99 cents 7) Read More

Apple has highlighted the best of iTunes from 2010, showing off their picks for the best apps, movies, TV shows and more. There are several categories and many of our favorites made the cut. Here's an overview of the winners. Let's jump right to the fun one -- apps. Apple has created separate categories for iPhone/iPod touch apps and iPad apps, but the big honors went to Hipstamatic, which Apple named "iPhone App of the Year" (also a former TUAW Daily App pick) and the record-breaking Plants vs. Zombies which took home the "iPhone Game of the Year" title. On the iPad side of the store, Flipboard was named the "iPad App of the Year" for 2010, while Cosmos picked up "iPad Game of the Year." From there, Apple breaks down the hot trends in both iPad and iPhone/iPod touch apps. Categories include food and cooking apps, news, stories, apps for Read More

Posted 12/09/2010 at 6:28am | by J.R. Bookwalter 2010 was a big year for the iTunes App Store, particularly with spreadings its wings to the larger-form iPad. Apple has released their annual year-end “iTunes Rewind” lists for the year, and here’s what made the top of the charts. TechCrunch is reporting that Apple has announced their “Apps of the Year” for 2010 as part of their iTunes Rewind 2010 lists, which cover music, movies, TV shows, podcasts and yes, apps. This year the company has split the categories for both iPhone/iPod touch as well as the iPad, and a full list of each category and winners is listed below. However, four apps get extra special treatment as this year’s “award winners” -- let’s give a big round of applause for vintage photo app Hipstamatic, popular games Osmos and Plants vs. Zombies and unique reading app Flipboard. For whatever reason, Angry Birds Read More

These lists span music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, etc. But the most interesting list is probably for apps. Notably, they break the top apps of the year into whether they’re designed for the iPhone (and iPod touch) or the iPad. And this year, they’ve selected four apps that they’re especially featuring as “award winners” for 2010. Those are: Hipstamtic [iTunes Link], Plants Vs. Zombies [iTunes Link], Flipboard [iTunes Link], and Osmos [iTunes Link]. Read More

Posted 11/08/2010 at 1:37pm | by J.R. Bookwalter Ever wonder what Apple themselves might consider the best of the best where apps are concerned? As it turns out, you don’t have to wonder any longer -- Apple has created a section dedicated to what they consider the best 50 apps. Opinions may vary from user to user as to what constitutes the best iOS apps, but Apple has some ideas of their own and they’ve created a new page of the best 50 in their opinion which they call the App Store Essentials Hall of Fame. It’s a great place for first-time users to immerse themselves in their new iOS device purchase with what many of us would consider the best apps ever made. “More than two years since launch, we’re many apps wiser,” Apple’s gold-hued banner (seen above) reads. “Presenting our ongoing collection of the very best of the best.” Read More

Happy Halloween weekend! This is my favorite holiday of the year, not only because it's a fun time for parties during my favorite season, but also because it seems to be an excellent time for developers to put a little something special into their apps -- like put them on sale. There are quite a few sales hitting the App Store this weekend -- Sega has some of their titles on sale again (including Ecco the Dolphin and the great Shining Force), and Namco Bandai is doing the same. You can pick up Bit.Trip Beat and the original Pac Man game for just a buck each, among a few other good deals. PopCap has brought Plants vs. Zombies down to a buck for the holiday, and EA has a "Monster Sale" going on, too, with Wolfenstein RPG, Snood, and more on sale for just one cent less than a buck.

If you’re a fan of receiving free candy or for cleaning off an absurd amount of toilet paper off your front lawn, then you’ll know that Halloween is nearly upon us. Most people celebrate Halloween by paying money to go to places for the sole purpose of possibly getting frightened, walking with their children to complete strangers homes in order to get a treat, or keeping all of their lights off in order to avoid wave after wave of trick-or-treaters. If the last example sounds like your kind of Halloween, then why not take advantage of the big Halloween sales a number of iOS game publishers are offering for this weekend only? Playing on your iDevice of choice would certainly keep strangers from knowing you’re home, so give it a try!

Ever since PopCap Games’ Plants vs. Zombies hit the App Store back in February, it’s fair to say it’s been a hit. I personally have played Plants vs. Zombies so many times on every platform imaginable, and yet I still haven’t completed the entire game on any of them. That’s besides the point here as PopCap Games has just dropped the price on one of its most successful games on both the iPhone & iPad. For the iPhone version of Plants vs. Zombies, the game has dropped down in price from its normal price of $2.99 down to $.99 for just a limited time. As for the iPad version, it didn’t drop down to a bargain bin price of $.99, but it did drop down 50% from $9.99 down to $4.99. Chances are that you’ve probably played and own Plants vs. Zombies on either the PC, Mac, or console. If you Read More

Developer PopCap has just dropped the price of their wildly popular zombie defense game Plants vs. Zombies down to 99¢ for a limited time. This is the first time this game has ever seen a price drop from its normal price of $2.99. Plants vs. Zombies debuted on the App Store back in February and immediately skyrocketed into the top 10 overall paid apps list, and hasn't dropped out of the top 50 ever since. Chances are that there aren't that many of you out there who don't already own Plants vs. Zombies, based on the incredible sales numbers, but for those of you who have been on the fence this whole time now is your opportunity to pounce on this game. If you aren't sure what the heck Plants vs. Zombies is, then check out our extensive review of the iPhone version from when the game was released back in Read More

Posted 10/13/2010 at 2:27pm | by The Mac|Life Staff We love our iOS games. In fact, we've played some of them so much we were able to come up with some helpful hints for six of our favorite games. » If you’re not playing a Druid character and would like to get some cheap healing, learn the Regeneration spell from the Troll. This will help save Blue Mana and won’t end your turn unless your enemy uses a Resists Magic spell. » Get a Giant Rat mount if you can. The Rat is easy to beat in the training game, and, once leveled high enough, will allow you to avoid road monsters while adding a valuable Cunning bonus in combats. » Practice! Beating even one stage unlocks Eternal mode, which lets you play without a time limit and improve your skills. Use this to your advantage, especially if you’re getting used Read More

Posted 10/04/2010 at 12:36pm | by Andrew Hayward Each new iPhone has offered fresh and fantastical ways to improve your daily life, but the epic tag-team of the iPhone 4 and iOS 4 deliver the greatest set of tools and features to date. With the introduction of FaceTime video calls, multitasking, and the high resolution Retina display, the iPhone 4 has moved even further away from being just a powerful phone and web-surfing device. Now more than ever, the iPhone is a true lifestyle-enhancing accessory. Between the built-in features and the hundreds of thousands of options in the App Store, not to mention a few key accessories, the iPhone 4 can be figuratively formed and changed to fit your daily needs, whether you’re planning your daily commute, knocking out items on your to-do list, or simply looking to try a new restaurant. With this wide-ranging versatility in mind, we’ve come up Read More

by Apple’s iPhone may mark a second golden age of computer gaming for a lot of reasons. The open marketplace means anyone can create a game; from major companies to just a couple of talented people in a garage. The result is a new boom in innovation, the likes of which we haven’t seen in about 20 years. Even with all the potential for innovation, maybe you still want to relive that first golden age of gaming. If you’re excited for how new tech can update the classics, then this list is for you: 10 of the greatest, most influential, straight-up classic computer games ever made, all available on and completely remastered for Apple’s handset, and in most cases also playable on the iPod touch and iPad. There are so many phenomenal PC game ports for the iPhone that we had a hard time narrowing it down to just 10. We Read More

When you're waiting on the subway, sitting in the bathroom, waiting at the doctor's office or otherwise experiencing some empty time, there's nothing better than a casual iPhone game. You can play right away, quit whenever you want, and keep building up those high scores. Some iPhone games are more addictive than others, though. For many reasons, these five keep me coming back. It could be the quest for new items and higher scores, the quick learning curve, or the great graphics, but each of these games has its own unique combo of attributes that add up to high replay value. Check out the list for yourself, and then point out the ones I missed in the comments. I just picked this fast little number up for free during a promotion (it's normally 99 cents), and I haven't been able to put it down since. In Mega Jump, you control a Read More

Editor’s note: This guest post is written by Alex Ahlund, the former CEO and founder of AppVee and AndroidApps, which were acquired by mobile application directory Appolicious. About this time last year, he gave us his picks of the best iPhone apps of 2009 up until then, so we thought we’d make it an annual tradition. I’ve been involved in the iPhone app industry since it first began in 2008 and I have to say that it has come a long way. I’ve seen it grow from a meager launch of 500 applications in the App Store to currently over 225,000. In only two years, the industry has matured at hyperspeed. It spawned an entire ecosystem to support it from a multitude of news and editorial resources to developer engines, promotional services and ancillary niches. With over five billion app downloads and a billion dollars at stake, it’s no surprise that Read More

Le fameux tower defense Plants Vs Zombies est maintenant disponible en version française dans l'App Store. Son titre devient donc logiquement "Plantes contre Zombies". Le concept reste quant à lui inchangé : placer judicieusement des plantes de défense sur une carte pour se prémunir des hordes de zombies qui envahissent votre jardin. Sur iPhone, le jeu reprend les graphismes et les recettes qui ont fait le succès de la version PC (le jeu est notamment vendu, en téléchargement, par l’intermédiaire de la plateforme Steam). En février dernier, son éditeur avait annoncé avoir réalisé la bagatelle de 300.000 ventes sur les neuf premiers jours de sortie du jeu. Alors que les tower defense se limitent habituellement à une poignée d’armes de défense, Plants vs. Zombies propose plus d’une quarantaine de plantes différentes, et offre une grande variété de zombies, que l’on pourra au choix étourdir, affaiblir ou faire exploser. Ce flower defense Read More

An ambiguous image has been making the rounds over the weekend as casual game development king PopCap has sent out save the date emails for August 2nd in San Francisco, CA. This is quite literally all we know right now, but judging by the wild success of both the original Plants vs. Zombies for the Mac and PC, as well as the chart-topping Plants vs. Zombies [$2.99] and Plants vs. Zombies HD [$9.99] for the iPad, it's no surprise that PopCap would be making a sequel. If this is the first you've heard of , here's the gist of the game from our review: We awarded Plants vs. Zombies for the iPhone 5 stars, and the iPad game is worth a look too as it includes a survival mode, more mini games, and the graphics look simply fantastic on the iPad screen. PopCap seems to have a knack for creating fun Read More

Apple seems to be on a roll of late with App Store app lists. First came The Best Games You’ve Never Played, a roundup of hidden gems that haven’t quite burned up the app charts. Now they’ve released the Awesome iOS 4 Apps list, a collection of apps and games that have been updated to take advantage of iOS 4′s new features, like support for the Retina Display and Multitasking/Fast App Switching. Here are some notable that have made the list: Now I haven’t tried all 42 apps on the list, but I don’t think I’d consider all of them to be awesome. I suppose it’s all a matter of personal preference and interests (and of course, apps that actually have been updated for iOS 4 already). The entire Apple roundup can be found right here on iTunes.

If you're one of the lucky ones you managed to secure themselves an iPhone 4 today (or even the past two days if you're really lucky) you've no doubt marveled at how thin it is, how crisp the Retina Display is, and maybe you've even found someone else to do a FaceTime call with... but what about loading it up with some games? Since we haven't gotten our own iPhone 4's yet, we haven't really been able to put together a "games that are really awesome on the iPhone 4" listing, but I figured we'd start out by compiling a list of some of our favorite games in the App Store. If you think this looks a lot like our 2009 Buyer's Guide, that's because it does. However, we've updated the list with some of our recent favorites and kept some of the old ones. In the interest of space, we Read More

Vor wenigen Tagen erschien die iPad-Version vom Point-and-Click-Abenteuer Baphomets Fluch (5.99 €; App Store-Link) im App Store, dessen iPhone-Umsetzung (3.99 €; App Store-Link) sich bereits sehr erfolgreich gestaltete. Der Director’s Cut HD fällt mit 566 Megabyte nicht gerade klein aus. Aus diesem Grund werden die Sprachpakete (Englisch, Französisch, Deutsch, Italienisch und Spanisch), die individuell noch einmal zirka 120 Megabyte umfassen, als separater Download von der Revolution-Webseite angeboten. Über die iTunes Dateifreigabe können diese Pakete dann ins Spiel eingebunden werden. Als “Nebeneffekt” dieser Funktion lässt sich über den selben Weg auch auf die abgespeicherten Spielstände zugreifen. Zitat des Entwicklers gegenüber iPhoneBlog.de: “But it’s a cool feature anyway – backup or swapping saves…”. Falls eine solche Implementation mit Zugriff auf die Speicherstände konform der Apple-Richtlinien gehen sollte, wünsche ich mir das unbedingt für mehrere iPhone-OS-Spiele. Nicht nur als Backup-Funktion sondern insbesondere auch beim Wechsel eines heiß geliebten iPhone-Titels, der nicht als ‘universal’ Version Read More

Plants vs Zombies is a tower defense game where you fend off your home from wave after wave of zombies by using their obvious adversaries: plants.  As you progress through the game, the zombies become increasingly difficult, but your arsenal of plants improves as you dig up new varieties of foliage after each mission.  In order to plop down your plants, you’ll need to harness the power of the Read More

PopCap’s “Plants vs. Zombies,” a game in which you must fight off oncoming hordes of zombies using nothing more than, as the title suggests, plants, has climbed to to top of the charts and is now one of the highest grossing app on iTunes. What’s most remarkable about this feat is the fact that Plants vs. Zombies became the third highest grossing app on the iTunes store in 9 days. Since then, it has been downloaded over 300,000 times, and has grossed in excess of $1 million. So, what has made Plants. vs. Zombies so successful in such a short period of time? Here’s what Mike Schramm of The Unofficial Apple Weblog has to say: “It’s a high quality game, first of all, and PopCap has a reputation for making those already. Second, the game itself had a fairly high profile even before release, since it was extremely successful on the Read More

PopCap has released some sales information on their latest iPhone game, Plants vs. Zombies, and it's a runaway hit: the game has sold over 300,000 copies in just the nine days it's been out on the App Store, which means the company has garnered over $1 million in sales already. Very impressive -- first, we had an app make a million total, then a company was making a million a month, and now PopCap has done the same in just over a week. So what's their secret? It's a high quality game, first of all, and PopCap has a reputation for making those already. Second, the game itself had a fairly high profile even before release, since it was extremely successful on the PC as well. And finally, you have to think that the price figures in as well -- I thought the game would sell for PopCap's usual $5, but Read More

If there's one thing that PopCap is really good at aside from making impossible to put down games that appeal to hardcore gamers, grandmas, and everyone in between it's having those game smash sales records. The original Plants vs. Zombies [App Store] release for the PC was PopCap's fastest-selling video game, and per a press release this morning, the iPhone release is performing just as well. Since its release, there have been over 300,000 units sold on the App Store, making Plants vs. Zombies the highest grossing launch in App Store history. PopCap is no stranger to greatness on the App Store, as Bejeweled 2 was the first paid app to reach 3 million downloads, and they're responsible for three games that have been #1 on the paid app charts as well: Bejeweled 2, Peggle, and obviously Plants vs. Zombies If this is the first you've heard of , you absolutely Read More

‘Plants vs. Zombies‘ befindet sich seit neun Tagen im App Store-Verkauf; kostet beständige 2.39 € (App Store-Link) und bescherte mir ganz persönlich bis jetzt viele Stunden an exzellenter Unterhaltung. Ein Ende der anstürmenden Untoten ist auf meinem iPhone noch nicht in Sicht. Rekordverdächtig teilt das zuständige Entwicklerstudio PopCap heute in einer Pressemeldung mit, dass 300.000 verkaufte Spiele innerhalb der besagten neun Tage einen neuen App Store-Rekord aufstellen. Den Umsatz von einer Millionen US-Dollar erwirtschaftet es sich jedoch auch leichtfüssig, wenn man in aktuell 40 (!) Ländern eine einstellige Chartposition aufweisen kann. Wer die spektakuläre Entwicklung nachvollziehen möchte, greift zur kostenfreien PositionApp (App Store-Link). Read More

Forget these fancy pants new kids on the block like Popcaps and their mind-blowingly huge Plants vs Zombies title — if you’re a real gamer, you’ll be spending your cash on Final Fantasy I and II for $8.99 a pop. That’s what most of the sites are saying, anyway. I would actually much rather play Angry Birds, Plants vs Zombies, or the newly released Tilt to Live than relive a Japenese RPG experience dating back to 1987. I guess I just don’t like grinding (in the non-sexy dancing way) against monsters for hours upon hours on end and rotating between “attack” and my various basic elemental spells. I’ll stop there, though. I don’t want to grinch up everyone else’s childhood/youth gaming experiences, so I’ll just end this post with some handy iTunes links: Read More

By Arron Hirst on February 25th, 2010 PopCap Games give us an idea of just how successful their latest iPhone (and iPod touch) release has been for them, announcing Plants vs. Zombies managed to hit 300,000 downloads in the first 9 days of availability and has so far grossed over 1 Million US dollars. We all love PopCap Games and their latest critically claimed tower defense game Plants vs. Zombies. You may remember that we reviewed the game recently, and we knew it was going to be popular. Exactly how popular in as far as sales though remained a mystery … until today. The company has announced that within the first 9 days of the game being available on the App Store, Plants vs. Zombies saw a staggering 300,000 downloads, placing the title right up there with Bejeweled® 2, another of PopCap’s well-loved smash hit iPhone games. What’s even more staggering Read More

Apparently you aren’t cool if you don’t have Plants vs Zombies installed on your iPhone or iPod touch. PopCap has revealed that their best-selling desktop game has now become the fastest-selling iPhone app yet. Plants vs Zombies has been downloaded over 300,000 times since its launch nine days ago, setting a new record for App Store launches. The game vaulted into the number one paid app spot within 24 hours of its launch and had remained there up until late yesterday. Thanks to all of those downloads, the game has already grossed over $1 million. “Plants vs. Zombies is our latest major franchise to make the jump to iPhone, and from the early customer and critical feedback it appears to be a great adaptation of the game,” said Andrew Stein, director of mobile business development at PopCap. “There’s always a concern when bringing a computer game to a mobile, pocket-sized device Read More

Company: PopCap Games Price: $3 Compatible: iPod touch, iPhone/3G/3GS Editor-in-Chief, iLounge Published: Monday, February 15, 2010 Category: Games - iPad, iPhone + iPod Our editors remember well the day in 2009 when PopCap Games released Plants vs. Zombies for Macs and PCs: back in May, we temporarily lost contact with our spouses for a brief period of time as this brilliant little title threatened to consume far too much of our (and their) productive energy. Today, PopCap released the game for the iPhone and iPod touch at a staggeringly low price of only $3 -- $17 less than the PC and Mac version -- and though the portable release is missing one of the best features of the full version, it's otherwise so impressive and so broadly appealing that we can't help but highly recommend it. Though Plants vs. Zombies is technically a “tower defense” game, that term implies a certain Read More

Plants vs Zombies is an app created by veteran casual game maker PopCap. The game is essentially a tower defense game which pits your own homegrown plants against an onslaught of evil zombies. As you progress through the game, you will collect new types of plants to counter the growing variety of mind-munching monsters attacking your door. You will utilize the long range peashooters, the explosive cherry bombs, the sunshine-producing sunflowers, and many more. In order to produce more plants, you will have to collect sunshine that falls from the sky or plant sunflowers to produce extra resources. The game begins with only one row of attacking zombies but as you grow in experience, the game will expand to 5 rows of mayhem. In later levels, the placement of various plants becomes key. New types of zombies will attack quickly or become extremely difficult to take down. Overall, the game is Read More

Fans and newcomers to the hugely popular PC/Mac game Plants vs Zombies have been waiting for the iPhone and iPod Touch version as early as August 2009. The long wait is over, at last. Now the question is: how well does Plants vs Zombies fare both as a PC/Mac port and a standalone tower defense game, given that the TD genre is one of the, if not the most crowded and well-represented genre on the iPhone platform? Plants vs Zombies is an unusual tower defense game that turns the familiar into something new, engaging and exciting. It turns your house into a battlefield against a battery of zombies trying to get in. While normally you need loads of big and mean guns to take out the zombies, here, you plant your powerful defenses to keep the zombies out. There are 49 different fighting plants such as pea shooters, chompers, sea-shrooms, wall-nuts Read More

Browsing the App Store this weekend?  Here are seven new or updated apps worth taking a closer look at if you are: This is the official application from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.  There is a list of all the 2010 nominees, with trailers for each picture, plus the chance to predict the winners of each category ahead of the ceremony. A great looking and most importantly, free, multiple service IM client, which has support for AIM, Yahoo, Google Talk, Windows Live, MySpace and Facebook, plus a variety of others.  The app has Push notifications and connects via EDGE, 3G and Wi-FI. Another great game from PopCap, this is a port of the popular PC/Mac version.  You must fight off invading hordes of zombies, using just as the title suggests, only a collection of plants.  There are 50 levels, iPhone exclusive achievements and the great graphics and sound Read More

We’ve been yapping about this game ever since it was first announced. We offered you a quick review of it and now the full review. WARNING: it’s dangerously ADDICTING! It’s been so long since we last saw a tower defense game that left us in awe. Plants Vs Zombies remains intact for the iPhone and yes, it’s every bit as fun as the PC/Mac versions. You and I already know it, you’ve bought the game and AT LEAST played one level so far! Presentation Let’s now treat the review as if this is the first time you’re hearing about the game. It’s basically tower defense where the “offense” walks in a straight line thus “line defense”. The overall story of the game is that zombies are attacking your house and the defense is left to your plants. Plants Vs Zombies initially takes you to your frontyard, the back and then the Read More

By Jeremy Sikora, Tuesday, Feb 16, 2010 | The popular PopCap Mac tower defense title, Plants vs. Zombies, [iTunes Link - $2.99] has finally arrived on the iPhone and iPod touch! The premise is simple, defend your home from invading zombies with an arsenal of 49 zombie destroying plants. The plants (a.k.a. weapons) available to you include peashooters, wall-nuts, cherry bombs and more to dismember the 26 different types of zombies. Along with all of this zombie action you get five game modes: Plants vs. Zombies is a highly addictive must buy for any tower defense fans. Buy it now! Video after the break! Read More

by Have you ever played a tower defense game? If you have, chances are you’ve been glued to it for days, devising strategies, planting towers and generally forgetting all your other obligations and activities. A game called Plants vs. Zombies offers a fun variation on the tower defense game: flower defense. Zombies attack, and your job is to stop them by planting vegetation that stops, maims or destroys them. Now, the same game is available for the iPhone, for a competitive price of $2.99. Features include the 50 level long Adventure mode (with the ability to replay levels via the Quick Play Arena), more than four dozen different plants, dozens of zombie types and lots of achievements that reward successful completion of various challenges. You can purchase the game from the App Store, or try out a free demo of the desktop version here. Read More

Feb 15th 2010 at 5:00PM I can't wait to sit through lengthy dialogue and cutscenes on my train to work. I also want to see Square release Chrono Trigger on the iPhone! Looks like the ever-continuing port/remake of the Wonderswan Color version that has manifested itself on the Playstation, Gameboy Advance and Playstation Portable. Fun game but 2 is easily the hardest Final Fantasy (and the one I cannot bring myself to level up enough to beat). Any news on whether an english version would be available??? Does anyone know if this is the Final Fantasy 2 that the US market called Final Fantasy 2? This is the Japanese Final Fantasy II which was not released in the US, except for the FFI&II combo cart for the Gameboy Advance. The US "Final Fantasy II" for the SNES was a originally released in Japan as "Final Fantasy IV EasyType" (yes, they had Read More

Just as promised, PopCap’s hit casual tower defense game, Plants vs. Zombies, has gone mobile for the iPhone and iPod touch. “Plants vs. Zombies for iPhone and iPod touch marks the first adaptation of our wildly popular ‘flower defense’ game to a new platform, and we’re excited at how well it has translated to the iPhone and iPod touch,” stated Andrew Stein, director of mobile platforms at PopCap Games. Plants vs. Zombies is a unique tower defense game that oozes character as only PopCap games can.  In the game you will be defending your home from waves of zombies, each with their own special traits, by planting 49 different plants, some of which are offensive and some defensive. The game features a total of 26 different types of zombies to defeat, 50 levels in Adventure mode with different surroundings, achievements, Quick Play mode, and amusing animations and music. Although Plants vs. Zombies Read More

Plants vs. Zombies was planted on the iPhone App Store today, and we couldn't download it fast enough. The tower-defense-style gameplay, where you have to collect the power of the sun in order to place offensive and defensive plants on your lawn to fight off the incoming zombie hordes, was a blast on the PC and Mac, but it seems as if it had been designed for touch screens. We finally get to test that assertion. If you need to know more about the mechanics and gameplay of the title, feel free to read our original review of the PC version. On the iPhone, the graphics remain clear and easy to read and understand, and the ability to tap on the falling suns to collect them and tap where you'd like to plant your army works incredibly well and is very satisfying. This is a direct port of the original game Read More

Published: February 15, 2010 Comment         Does PvZ on the go live up to its big brother on the PC? The answer is an emphatic yes. Developer Popcap has succeed in emulating the experience of the PC version for the iPhone and iPod touch, and has also streamlined the game to be more friendly to the portable devices. Fans of the original should know that content wise, there is nothing new to see in this version and in fact the auxiliary Survival mode so popular in the PC version is absent on the iPhone. For those who have escaped the internet craze; Plants vs. Zombies is a variant on the popular Tower Defense genre in which players strategically place plants in their lawn to defend their home from incoming zombies. Plants vs. Zombies was originally released in May of 2009 for the PC, and at the time was very well Read More

Zombies stürmen in den App Store – Spielsucht wird zum echten Problem. Peggle-Produzent ‘PopCap Games’ versprach für Ende Januar den epischen Tower Defense-Zweikampf zwischen Pflanzenwelt und Untoten. Am heutigen Morgen brach dieser auf dem iPhone OS aus. Das Spielprinzip ist schnell erklärt. Ihr verteidigt euer Anwesen gegen heranstürmende Zombie-Horden, indem aus einem reichhaltigen Sortiment von Gewächsen, eure Verteidigungseinheiten ausgewählt werden. Diese bespucken die wandelnden Totengräber mit kleinen Samengeschossen, legen ihnen Kartoffelbomben in den Weg oder platzieren explodierende Kirschkerne zwischen den stocksteifen Beinen. Die Geldeinheit zählt sich in Sonnenlicht, welches vom Himmel und aus euren aufgestellten Sonnenblumen entspringt. Eure Hinterhof-Soldaten benötigen selbst mit ausreichend UV-Strahlung eine kurze Phase der Regeneration, so dass nicht unmittelbar hintereinander neue Abwehrkräfte zur Aufstellung bereitstehen. Ein Angriff erfolgt auf Rollrasen, vornehmlich in horizontaler Position. Die Meute der untoten Krieger rückt dabei in unterschiedlich starken Angriffswellen an, so dass es nach ein paar kurzen Einführungswelten größtenteils strategisch hinter Read More

When Plants vs. Zombies [App Store] was originally announced on April 1st last year, PC gamers everywhere (myself included) were unsure if Popcap's newly revealed game was part of an elaborate April Fool's Day hoax or not. A little more than a month later, the game was released and not only saw universal acclaim from the gaming media resulting in an 88 on Metacritic, but also earned the title of Popcap's fastest selling game of all time. In Plants vs. Zombies, Popcap takes the standard tower defense formula and greatly simplifies it. Instead of a path to build towers along, you drop seeds in your yard which then grow in to plants that have various offensive or defensive capabilities. The yard is organized in a grid, and zombies move straight across the row they spawn on, munching (or in some cases jumping or flying over) anything that they come in contact Read More
