Plants VS Zombies! For Free? Is it real?

Hey! Everyone who is into funny gaming, should have heard about, or played through, an odd, quality title, called: "Plants VS Zombies". A tower defense, strategy game, which had been released in 2012. Too fun for anyone's standard, you were in for hearty laughs, smiles and gigles, every minute of gameplay! The developers were full of inspiration and talent.

Then, EA happened. Bought them off. Turned game into a franchise. Made it exclusive to consoles and new mobile systems that are crossbreeds between pc and mobile. And worst of all, turned its latest sequel, into a micro transaction, pay to win, sitty, online game wannabe (even though it begun its life as a pc title, buy once, get the whole package thingy).

Anyway, now, EA is giving it out for free, on Origin, which you can download for free. Until 28 of MAY. At least it is the Game of The Year Edition! And the game developed by the original developers, BEFORE E.A. had to cash in and ruin everything... Or else i wouldn't touch anything off of EA, even as gift.

    It's true. I got Origin so I could play Spore with my nephew. Hadn't used it for a while, but just moments ago I launched, signed in, and was offered Plants vs Zombies for free.

    Not sure, I was too was shocked when I got that freebie (though I hated wow, in one of the areas from the undead, there was a P vs Z mini-game and I liked it, so I jumped at the chance. got another freebie the other day that shocked me as well(what's with all the freebies lately) from google apps. almost the entire angry birds collection other than the latest one which can only played on Facebook, which I won't touch with a 10-foot banana. Damn that game's more addictive than I ever imagined lol.

    This game is a masterpiece. If 2 was on pc too, and it did not have a game shops (even worse, a pay to win one...), i would have bought it. But it is EA dear, so we have to faq off... And lay the damn thing down.

    Still, i cannot understand why or how, popcap sold itself to those fools...

    For $650 million in cash (on top of 100 million in shares/options) I can see why they sold.

    I have mixed feelings regarding this one. Been having a hard time using Origin even before. So now PVZ is powered by Origin huh? But I wanna play it too because I loved the first one and wouldn't hurt to try this one as well. What do you guys think?

    Also, i love zombie games so if you guys can suggest to me other zombie games, that'd be nice. Any platform is welcomed tho. thanks

    Hmm. As a zombie fan myself, I'd suggest you try Tapslayer: Alice in zombieland. Got really cool weapons and you could upgrade them too. :wink:

    @zombieFONS, if you are here, you probably like RPGs and you like zombies too, so why not an RPG with zombies in it ?
