PopCap Game has made it official; We can expect Plants vs Zombies on the Xbox Live Arcade this September. The game will set you back 1200 Microsoft Points. Is it worth it? I know I'll be buying it even though I have it on my computer. Read the news and you be the judge yourself.
Head of worldwide studios at PopCap Games, Ed Allard explains, "with a ton of new features and content exclusive to the XBLA version, we've pulled out all the stops to both expand and optimize this adaptation for a hard core gaming audience."

We're also featuring a customized 'house' for tracking and sharing progress as well as a total of 21 mini-games and 12 achievements, all designed to enthrall Plants vs. Zombies players once again."

ReplyDeleteNot being a gamer but wanting to play this particular game, does this mean you buy the game for Xbox? Or is it through the computer?
ReplyDeleteI know my son has an Xbox but don't know what Xbox live is.
@ nitebyrd You purchase it through the Xbox. If you have an active xbox live account.
ReplyDelete@Morphine - Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI actually had to 'fes up to my gamer son that I want this game. After he got over his SHOCK, he told me how to get it. :)
Sorry to not chime in sooner. Head over to PopCap Games' site and you can play the flash version for free! Aside from being available on Xbox Live, it is available for you computer, iPad, and iPhone. Plants vs Zombies is by far one of the most fun and wonderfully addictive games I have played. I only wish they paid me for all the plugs and positive comments I give this game!
ReplyDeleteI have it on the iPod Touch, Its seriously addicting. So is Monster Mayhem.
