Free copies of Plants vs Zombies this Halloween, from the American Dental Association.
Playing this is better for your teeth than cadging sweets off of people, I suppose. :)

My recent purchases
'Tis the season to think about buying things for other people, but...
Here are some things I've bought for myself recently. :)
* Plants vs Zombies soundtrack
I really like this soundtrack, I'm glad it's available to buy and download (with no DRM, hooray!). I've played through the whole game on PC and on Xbox 360, it's one of the few "defense" games I like, and I really like it. The music is really cute and easy to listen to on a loop forever without getting boring!
* Shatter soundtrack
I really like this soundtrack too. But, um...... I started this game on PS3 then played it on PC (because the PC version was going really cheap). It's breakout / Arkanoid with different shaped levels and a "suck" and "blow" function. Never finished it on either platform, but I like the soundtrack a lot. :)
Over the last weekend in November - which is a time for big sales in America, the weather was awful so I stayed in and bought myself lots of games in the sales.
PC games on Steam:
- Alien Zombie Megadeath
- Ion Assault
- Runespell: Overture
- Astro Tripper
- Tobe's Vertical Adventure
- Star Ruler
- The Witcher: Enhanced Edition + Director's Cut DLC
- Gundemonium Recollection
- Hitogata Happa
- GundeadliGne
- Demolition, Inc.
- Dungeons of Dredmor
Another PC independantly:
* a 2D platform "Metroidvania" style game called Celestial Mechanica which was going especially cheap (1 US dollar).
A preorder for a bundle of games:
Indie Royale Really Big Bundle
(which ended up containing some games I already owned but it was cheap enough - about £3 - and ended up containing a lot of free soundtracks for the games, so I didn't mind)
And downloadable games on Xbox 360 Live Arcade:
* Stacking (it was half price at 600 points, it's a game by Doublefine so I expect it to be charming and/or funny)
and
* Beyond Good and Evil HD (it was down to 240 points)
...I've hardly made a dent in playing these games!
The only one I regret out of all these is "The Witcher", and that is not down to the game, but because Steam is an annoying system that won't let me install my games wherever I want - and there isn't enough room on my SSD to install all 15GB of it, so I can't play it unless I reinstall Steam somewhere else or buy a bigger hard drive or something. :/

Plants vs Zombies
Ohhhhh I got so addicted to this game!
See, first of all I saw the music video, oh so cute, oh so catchy... and it has a dancing sunflower and zombies!
So I went to the official website and downloaded the MP3, both the English version and the Japanese version (since the singer recorded two versions).
"Haha!", I thought. "Popcap Games made a mistake. They let me download this catchy catchy song as an MP3 rather than bundling it with the game!"
...and I listened to it, and listened to it, and listened to it...
and on Saturday, after seeing a lot of top reviews for the game, I decided to download the demo and install it on my PC. It was an hour long trial.
"Oh ho ho", I thought. "This game seems so simple, I am sure I will be bored of it after an hour!"
...an hour later, I was looking for the cheapest place to buy the game. I signed up to Steam and bought it for £5.99... and I started playing....
...
...
...
...then I looked up. "It's 1am??? Where did Saturday go?"
Wow, this game is a huge time drain.
"I'll just have one more little go..."
...
...
...
A chat window signed up, a friend of mine on Steam.
"OMG! It's 4am! I think I should go to bed..."
I tried to limit myself a bit on Sunday, bought myself another game on Steam called "The Wonderful End Of The World", which is a Katamari Damacy clone game for PC. I played it for a little bit and then got really terribly violently sick (simulator sickness). I stopped and took a break and when I'd recovered, did my recycling.......... then came back to Plants VS Zombies. ^_^;;
I'm nearly finished with this game, yeah. I've completed Adventure mode (you get the music video as a reward! <3) and unlocked all puzzle modes and nearly unlocked all mini games...
Desktop flower defense, oh why is this game so addictive???
