PopCap Teases Plants vs. Zombies 2
A special message from PopCap Games has gone out, teasing more lawns, more undead hordes and more Plants vs. Zombies [http://www.amazon.com/Zombies-Mac-Intel-Core-Duo-1-6GHZ/dp/B002AUC5ZQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1278951751&sr=1-1].
The big secret about casual games is that they're not casual at all. They're like crack cocaine: They're cheap, they're everywhere and once you've taken a hit, you're hooked forever. It's easy enough to dismiss the run-of-the-mill shovelware garbage, but when you stumble over a truly good one, you're done. And they don't get any better than Plants vs. Zombies.
The concept is one of those Stephen Hawking space-time things that's so completely stupid it loops back into itself and becomes sheer genius: Zombies - shambling, bungie-jumping, Zamboni-driving zombies - want to get into your house and eat your brains, and the only thing preventing it are the be-bopping, unusually violent plants in your garden. It transcends silly and it works beautifully, and now it looks like more is on the way.
PopCap [http://www.popcap.com] recently sent out a message inviting journalists to an event of some sort on San Francisco on August 2. But this wasn't a typical RSVP; instead, it was an image of the PvZ zombie hand bursting out of the ground, holding a note with the date and the initials "S.F." under a scrawled drawing of a big bridge.
Beyond the obvious Plants vs. Zombies [http://www.popcap.com/games/pvz] link, there is no indication of what will actually be unveiled. Speculation that it might be news about the promised Xbox 360 version of the game has been kicking around, but I think it's safe to say that most fingers are crossed in hopes of a full sequel. Stay tuned!
