Plants vs. Zombies Now Available in Free Flash Form
Earlier this year, casual gaming giant PopCap released their latest dangerously addictive concoction, Plants vs. Zombies. This seemingly innocuous take on the tower defense genre turned out to provide a deep and satisfying experience, possibly surprising many hardcore gamers who angrily identified PopCap as ‘casual,’ and thus not worth paying attention to. Well, just in case anyone remains unmoved by the tons of praise heaped onto this game, today PopCap unveiled a new way to give it a chance.
If you head over to PopCap’s website, you can now play a free Flash version of Plants vs. Zombies in your browser. This isn’t your average lean Flash game, though. The Flash translation of Plants vs. Zombies contains three game modes (Adventure, Endless Survival, and Vasebreaker), 14 levels in adventure modes, 12 plant types (out of 40 in the full game), and six zombie types, one of which is completely new.
That’s enough content that it should both convince non-believers and give fans of the game some fun incentive to return to the never-ending fight against the undead.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
