PLANTS VS ZOMBIES
Plants vs. Zombies is a
tower defense video game developed and originally published by
PopCap Games for
Microsoft Windows and
Mac OS X systems. The game involves a homeowner using many varieties of plants to repel an army of zombies. The homeowner, along with a neighbor called Crazy Dave, must defend the homeowner's house during day or night, in the front yard and the backyard (which contains a swimming pool), and even on the roof. It was first released on May 5, 2009 and made available on
Steam on the same day.
[3][8] A version for the
iPhone operating system was released in February 2010, and an HD version for the
iPad[9]). An extended
Xbox Live Arcade version introducing new gameplay modes and features was released on September 8, 2010.
[6] PopCap has also announced a
Nintendo DS version, to be released in January 2011, that will feature content unique to the platform.
[10] Furthermore, both the original Windows and Mac version of the game have been re-released with additional content in a
Game of the Year version. The game received a positive response from critics, and was nominated for multiple
Interactive Achievement Awards, alongside receiving praise for its musical score.
