Courtesy of PopCap Games’ Twitter account, I can now tell you the exact date that my girlfriend will plant herself in her apartment with her iPod Touch and gradually undergo a zombie-like desiccation process herself: February 15th. Because that’s the day that Plants vs. Zombies is finally coming to the App Store.
Plants vs. Zombies is an adorable, hilarious and disgustingly addictive tower defense game in which you must set up rows of specially powered anthropomorphic plants to fight off wave after wave of brain-munching zombies. You can play it over at Pop Cap’s site for free, or buy it for OS X for $20. And let me tell you, if the iPhone port is half as good as the OS X version, we’re looking at one of the best iPhone games of the year.
