On the 5th of May, Popcap games have decided to turn their gigantic casual game making machine around and release a family friendly game about Zombies.

What? Family Friendly?

It’s called Plants VS Zombies and looks incredibly cutesy, funny and from the makers of Bejeweled and Peggle - I am willing to bet that its going to be really Fun!

You play the plants in a tower defense type game, where you protect the innocent people in the house from the cute swarming hordes of the differently alive. To facilitate this guardianship you build different types of plants to to stop the zombies, each with different abilities and strengths and weaknesses against the different types of zombies.

I’ve already pre-ordered a copy, through steam, so we should have a full review up when the game releases.

You can check out some of the screen shots of the game from the steam site.
