    Just do it. Please, for the sake of popcap and gamers around.. Get this, play it. I've logged over 50 hours in it according to steam since I got it earlier in the summer. This price is amazing. I gifted it to my little sister. This I'm sure will run on Netbooks too.

    It's a nice take on tower defense games..lots of replayability.

    I fourth this... Saw it first on IGN reviews. Game's very addicting because you can unlock something new every level.

    I downloaded the demo and I like the game design. Definitely agree with shadowarachh. This game has the potential to be a hit on iPhone.

    I've bought it, along with Osmos and GRID. Dunno when I'll get to play it as I have a massive backlog to go through but its nice to support Steam, this small developer, PC gaming, etc. :)

    Great find, dude. Thanks for the heads up. I'm waiting for my netbook to arrive, and decided to pick this game up. Lucky for me I didn't buy it in a retail store here, where it's going for >20USD a pop...

    Game took 7 or 8 hours to beat, still a fun game nonetheless.

    Well, I like to gauge value and for a buck an hour, this can't be beat. I bought it for $10 when it released and logged in 50hours so far.

    I think people are abusing the zombies in the title formula these days, there's like zombies driver, zombie shooter (i think these are actually the title names), I made a game with zombies in it... 2009 is like the year of the zombies

    I hope you use a different formula for movies! :D

    But yes, this game is amazing, can get pretty chaotic too. The humor is great also, they have these short descriptions for every zombies and plants in it that's worth reading. It also has various puzzle modes that are also fun, one where you play as the zombies, one where you break pots to potentially release a zombie or gets you a plant (the only way you can get plants in that mode). VERY addictive and fun
