I Can't Believe I'm Gardening

I'm actually, really, seriously sitting here spending time watering, feeding, and caring for...videogame potted flowers.

It's my new addiction: Plants vs. Zombies. (And if you're unfamilar with this awesome title, it's a tower-defense strategy game, not a gardening sim. The green thumb stuff's just a side mode for you to earn extra cash to buy upgrades with.)

Shigeru "Pikmin" Miyamoto needs to check out this game.

 And I need to get a life. Well, a better, more productive one, that is. But maybe later.

I don't understand, Shoe. What could possibly be more productive than defending your home from moonwalking zombies?

That's a good point.

I still have to check this game out. Is it worth the 20$?

I want to buy it but I am hoping that it will have a port to the itouch. If it doesn't happen, I'll buy it eventually.

I just got my gold trophy last night! Dreamed about those digger zombies messing with my program too. I think it's available for $10 now? Get it! Also, got an interview with the designer in the works in which we source some or all of our questions from other game designers. Brenda Brathwaite's already sent in hers.

A wonderfully addicting game. I wish I was playing it instead of going to bed.

My friend is addicted to this game. We chat about it as we attempt to get the store's copy of Tony Hawk's American Wasteland back from a customer's malfunctioning 360. For a moment I thought Gardening Momma snared you.

I got my girlfriend addicted to this game. She's actually playing it right now while I surf the internet.

I'm the other way around. I'm addicted to this while my girlfriend plays TF2 and Doom.

I'm so damn addicted to this game. I really feel guilty when playing it. I got two people addicted to it as well. Have to force myself to not play it in the morning or else I won't get shit done

This is what I would call "The Podcast Game of 2009". Maybe it was the mix of after-finals exhaustion and alcohol, but playing through the game while listening to all the Bitmob and Out of the Game podcasts was one of my more memorable moments of this still young year. You know you've found something great when you frantically look for a game to follow it and nothing fits. I would ask for suggestions but I don't see the point--nothing is as good at what PvZ manages to do.
