Plants vs Zombies

Eric (my best friend) and his two sons, Enriquo and Dawson, have been living with me for several years now.  A few months ago, the kids started playing this game on the computer called Plants vs Zombies.  The game looked very "childlike", much like the other games they play, so I didn't pay attention to it.

One night, they left the game up on Eric's computer, and out of curiosity, he started playing it.  Before long, he became addicted to the game. "Hey, Bob" says Eric...BTW, Bobby was my nickname growing up..."You need to try this game out.  I like it better than Angry Birds."

I usually don't take much stock as to Eric's validity of how good a game is, because when he likes a game or sport or activity (hmmmm...."Call of Duty", golf, poker, and yes, fishing), he borderlines addiction in all of them, except for fishing, where I can confirm that it is an addiction.

But I did give the game a try...and I like it better than Angry Birds...and I'm addicted to it.  It is a great strategy puzzle game, hidden behind a child-like theme that plants have to protect the house from the incoming zombies.

Thanks for the recommended game, Eric.  

And for those of you who are already playing this game, there's a puzzle feature called "Vasebreaker Endless" and "I,Zombie Endless".  My current streaks in those puzzles are 20 and 13 waves, respectively.  Who can beat that?
