Popcap games have done it again, yet another brilliant port to iPhone / iPod Touch.

If you are an iPhone owner and you haven’t heard of, or purchased and played this yet, do it.

With a ‘tower defence’ style gameplay, you’ll keep the Zombies away from the front and back of your house as they ‘braaaaaains’ their way across your turf. The best thing about this game for me, apart from the great user interface and sound effects is without a doubt the comedic approach the developers have taken to zombie actions. How about a group of zombies performing a ‘thriller’ style jam across your lawn while they take out your defences? Or the crazy pole vaulting zombie? Maybe the ride-on-mower zombie.

You can’t help but to laugh whilst playing this!

Taken from Popcap’s official site:

Get ready to soil your plants in an all-new action-strategy game from PopCap! A mob of fun-loving zombies is about to invade your home, and your only defense is an arsenal of 49 zombie-zapping plants. Use peashooters, wall-nuts, cherry bombs and more to mulchify 26 types of zombies before they can reach your front door.

Each zombie has its own special skills, so you’ll need to think fast and plant faster to combat them all. But be careful how you use your limited supply of greens and seeds… as you battle the fun-dead, obstacles like a setting sun, creeping fog and a swimming pool add to the challenge. And with five game modes to dig into, the fun never dies!

What a great movie. How far has Sam Worthington come lately? I was pretty excited when I heard that he’d landed the Terminator movie, and now this! Sam is actually from my home town (Perth, Western Australia). He even went to the same school as my wife! Small world huh.

On to the movie. Special effects, wow. Should we call it ‘special’? Don’t all movies have special effects now? Is there anything special about it anymore if it’s ‘normal’? Avatar is spectacular, from the moment you step in to the world of Pandora, you are overwhelmed with colour and 3D objects flying out of the screen. The depth and colours are incredible.

The story is tried and tested as an old fashioned love story with a conflict. I will not delve in to the actual story, perhaps you haven’t seen it yet. I don’t want to spoil it.

At no point is this film boring, yet I wouldn’t label it an ‘action film’. (although there is plenty of action. Action / drama?)

It’s nice to see Sigourney Weaver in a film again. I can’t say I’m a huge fan of her but she was very good in this film, her part was great. Giovanni Ribisi plays the evil, heartless mining boss and does a good job. Everyone is just great in this film.

The meld of ‘sfx’ and ‘real’ is top notch. I had a lot of trouble trying to figure out if characters were in make-up, or completely CG. That’s a good thing.

I recommend you see it, see it in 3D, then go see it again. No wonder it’s smashed the box office and made over $1b.
