Free Plants vs Zombies this Halloween

Free copies of Plants vs Zombies this Halloween, from the American Dental Association.

Stop Zombie Mouth

Playing this is better for your teeth than cadging sweets off of people, I suppose. :)

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???
