Plants vs. Zombies Is PopCap's Fastest-selling Game

This is a good little game, and the music is very groovy, easily worth the $10 just for the music.

Tower Defense + Magic the Gathering

Hard not to like.

A little easy in the beginning (wish they had a difficulty adjustment) but the last stage on the roof can get pretty hard.

Now if only they'd add a Vs mode... I'd love to be able to play the Zombies against friends! :-)

wow. I didn't realize the company was so big. They employ 180 people and make dozens of games. I thought this was, like, only their third.

I am so addicted. Must fill up Zen Garden... must collect everything.... ahh.

The game is awesome....best in 2009 yet.

when the demo cut off in the middle of a round, my wife looked like somebody had just kicked her puppy. Well done, popcap

Obviously they have more distribution channels at this point, but I think this is a serious testament to proper game pricing.

Although for the life of me I can't figure out why PopCap is selling the game on their one website for $19.99 (who bought it there anyways?), the steam pricing at $9.99 makes this a must purchase with great value.

With the assortment of bonus deals and other great pricing on steam, I think if it had of been $15 - I would have questioned my purchase, and $20 I would have been disappointed.

I know a lot of people that hang out here, including a good number of devs, believe price really doesn't matter if you make a great game but I think with so many distribution channels, sales, and deals - proper initial pricing is more important than ever. So consider this, I bought Defence Grid (a game I probably would have never bought) for 5 bucks the same day I purchased PvZ, and I refuse to buy Lode Runner on Xbox Live at $15. I am pretty sure I not the only one.

I feel like this game exists because this happened at a brainstorming meeting:

"What genre should we pick for our next game?"
"Well, tower defense is pretty popular..."
"Good idea. Brainstorm!"
"Tower... Tower... T-ower... Power... Cower... Fl-Flower! FLOWER DEFENSE!"
"Sold, put Zombies in it and ship it"

I love it.

MY GIRLFRIEND loves this game.

My god, gamasutra got a new design at last, I couldn't believe the previous abomination was in place for so long.

It was good. I only played the demo though, that was more than enough for me. If they port to iphone (which they will) I'll probably buy it.

Now get the Iphone/Ipod touch version out. Peggle was great.

I like your tricycle.

I've put dozens of hours into this game since it game out - it's pretty good, though I wish there was a way to up the difficulty without relying on endless modes.

I want a ds version of this badly. I have a cross continental flight staring me in the face in the next few months, and this would be a nice way to keep from losing my sanity.

That's impressive it beat Bejeweled.

My grandma bought Bejeweled.

It even outsold Bejeweled?
