Gaga over Plants vs Zombies!

Been playing Plants vs Zombies for a few days -- erm, maybe a few weeks? Hehehe... Yeah, one of my latest addictions today. :) A very nice casual game, where you strategically place your plants to stop the onslaught of zombies which are after your brains.

Simple, entertaining, and extremely replayable. With several modes to choose from, you can zone out for hours before realizing that the sun is already up. (Yeah... Been there, done that...)

Here's my Plants vs Zombies list:

My Top Five Favorite Plants:
(Note these are my favorites, not necessarily the best plants in the game)

5 - Cherry Bomb - very cheap "panic button" for taking out all zombies within a small area.

4 - Spikerock - the upgraded version of Spikeweed deals out significant damage to all zombies who walk on it. Plus it can take out several zombie vehicles. And it is the toughest plant in the game, able to withstand six strikes from the biggest zombie Gargantuar.

3 - Winter Melon - massive slowing/freezing damage that can take out several zombies at once. Simple and straightforward.

2 - Cattail - perhaps the best aquatic plant in the game; it can target any zombies in any lane and it can pop those annoying balloon zombies out of the sky.

1 - Gloom Shroom - short-range fast attacker; all you need is a good strategy and you're all set.


My Top Five Annoying Zombies:
5 - Balloon Zombies - forces you to reconsider playing with Cactuses in stages where Cattails can't be used.

4 - Digger Zombie - digs all the way to the end of the lane and eats your plants from behind; makes you think twice about defending not only your frontline, but also your rear.

3 - Jack-in-the-Box Zombie - left unchecked, this fast-moving zombie can wreak havoc on your frontlines; the zombie equivalent of the Cherry Bomb.

2 - Zombonis - it has high toughness, can crush your plants, and lays out ice on its wake where you can't plant. And if that's not enough, the length of ice provides the launching pad for the zombie bobsled team.

1 - Gargantuar - the lean, big, fighting machine of the zombies... need I say more?

My Other PvZ Lists

My Favorite Mini-Game - Last Stand - enables "gold farming", to buy those important plant upgrades and Zen garden supplies.

My Longest Survival Flags - 40 - still need to try out more strategies...

Highest Trophy - Gold Sunflower trophy - plus finished the game twice

Vasebreaker Endless Streak - 10 - damned Bucketheads!

I, Zombie Endless Streak - 5 - still not used to playing zombies!

Tree of Knowledge height - 62feet

My Favorite Zen Garden - Mushroom Garden - well, I'm a night person, I guess :)


You'll love the simple charm of this game!
