Although it’s free, you’re going to be tempted to spend real money to buy more brains to be able to do more things, but it’s fun at the free level, too. If you don’t harvest in time, your crops, including the zombies, wither.


The twist is you can also plant different types of zombies and go invading. Like We Rule and Farmville, you plant crops, earn money and build your farm.

The more you play, the more types of zombies attack and the more plants you can use to blow them up, shoot them, freeze them or squash them. You have to pick the right combination of plants that shoot zombies, provide sunlight and more to win each level. Each zombie and each plant have a great story, like this one: “Despite Grave Buster’s fearsome appearance, he wants everyone to know that he loves kittens and spends his off hours volunteering at a local zombie rehabilitation center.” Zombies approach, and you pick the plants that you’re going to need to plant in your garden to defend your home. I understand the appeal of this top-rated game with strong graphics, good writing and interesting strategy. Zombies ($2.99 for the iPhone/ iPod Touch, $9.99 for the iPad, PopCap Games).
