Plants vs. Zombies

.. or as my niece calls it "combi" in my native language. It can be pronounced as "djombi" :) This post won't be like much of a review, I will just try to pay respect to a game that I played for 54 hours on Steam which I paid like $3 USD.

First of all, I'm not a great fan of casual gaming. Actually, I'm opposed to the idea of casual gaming because I think it kills the good and lowers the quality of video games day by day. The more casual gaming grows and takes over, easier the video games become. That's my opinion so, it's arguable, again.

Well, let's get back to Plants vs. Zombies. It's a tower defence game where you try to defend your house from the undeads like disco zombie, miner zombie and many other types by planting flowers and other kinds of plants and mushrooms like melon throwing catapults, stars that shoot smaller stars and many many other. There are 49 plants(I got the achievemtn so I know the exact number :)) and 20+ types of zombies which is supported by 6 types of levels. The variety is what keeps that game alive and that is what made me play for 54 hours. And also, my willingness to get achievements and the enthusiasm to beat some games to the core. That's how I play games, sometimes.

The main reason for me to play this game was that I like tower defence games and the game is addicting in a weird way like the other PopCap game that I have played like Peggle. I think challenges that the game developers introduce us, mostly the level designers, makes that game more than a casual game and makes it harder and gives you reasons to play more.This also shows us that the guys in the development team tried hard to create players a good game.

I think that game can be taught as a course subject about casual game development.It is full of various in-game content and the variety to keep you play and get addicted to it. And, I suggest to all you gamers out there, mostly tower defence addicts, to play that game. In my opinion, it's a pretty good game that you will get addicted in no time.

Hope you like this one. I will be back, talking about many other games.
