Plants vs Zombies is now available “On the House” through Origin. This means that it’s free, forever, if you claim it onto your account while it’s still active. Think of it as a timed, 100%-off sale.
Plants vs Zombies is one of those games that was released more recently than I remembered. It apparently launched just before I went to teacher’s college. The game was re-released in 2015 as “Plants vs Zombies: Game of the Year Edition” with a little irony, being five years after the year that it would have been game of the year for.
The gameplay is simple, but cute. It’s a multi-lane tower defense where zombies try to eat you brains. You plant defenses to stop them. Each plant has its own power. The plot advances, and you get harder and harder zombies, different terrain, and so forth. Again, it’s a multi-lane tower defense game.
As an aside, am I the only one who thinks they missed an opportunity by not adding a daisy called “DayZee”?
