Hasta La Gadget!

For those of you out there who cannot get enough of Plants vs Zombies action, here is a little something that you might want to check out – Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare has its most recent expansion revealed for both the Xbox 360 as well as the Xbox One, where this expansion will be known as Zomboss Down. PopCap Games announced the availability of Zomboss Down for both platforms earlier today.

It is nice to know that Zomboss Down happens to be the second expansion for Garden Warfare, and it will be free, of course, which would not add any more financial burden to fans of the game who want to continue their zombie defending adventure. It is also a month since the Garden Variety add-on was introduced, so you ought to find more longevity where this title is involved. Zomboss Down is a western-themed DLC that will feature up to eight more new characters, where among them include the Law Pea and Sun Pharaoh, in addition to a spanking new multiplayer map for the Gardens and Graveyards mode which is known as Cactus Canyon. Apart from that, the expansion will also increase the level cap from 20 to 30, so do expect to unlock more stuff along the way. Have you given the Zomboss Down add-on a go already?

I am quite sure that those of you who have played the original Plants vs. Zombies title on your mobile device would most probably have given the sequel, aptly known as Plants vs. Zombies 2, a go. This particular freemium sequel has just received a refresh with new content thrown into the mix. Doctor Zomboss, who happens to be the epitome of evil in the prequel, is back – and he is not going to go away anytime soon, clearly staking his position in the all new Ancient Egypt level. If you think that Doctor Zomboss is going to be the only new addition in this update to Plants vs. Zombies 2, you will be pleasantly surprised to know that you are wrong in this aspect.

PopCap Games is the developer behind the very popular mobile game franchise Plants vs. Zombies. During E3 this year PopCap and EA announced that a new game would be coming in the franchise aimed at console gamers called Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare.

This game is very different from the others in the PvZ franchise. Garden Warfare is a third-person shooter supporting multiplayer action. The game is based on the Frostbite 3 game engine and will hit the Xbox 360 and Xbox One game consoles on February 18 in North America.

The game will land in Europe on February 20. A PC version of the game will be coming later. The game has three modes and over ten maps for gamers to play. Two of the modes support 12 vs. 12 player versus battles. The other mode is a four-play co-op mode. The game will cost $39.99(USD) on the Xbox One and $29.99 on the Xbox 360 (which is kind of stupid that they’re charging more for the Xbox One version).

It was just yesterday when we brought you word that EA allegedly touted that Apple actually paid them a ‘truckload of money’ in order to delay the release of Plants vs Zombies 2 on the Android platform so that it will remain as an iOS exclusive for some time. That was a little hard to swallow actually, and even if it were to be true, what does EA gain from such an admission? Well, in under 24 hours, games publisher EA has stepped forward to deny such claims, and in an official statement they mentioned that “A comment from an internal meeting taken out of context has created an unfortunate misunderstanding. Reports of a paid relationship between Apple and EA are factually inaccurate, and we apologise for any confusion.”

Not only that, Apple also did issue a denial on the situation, and that nary a single cent has exchanged hands throughout the episode. Apparently, this particular misunderstanding came about after Frank Gibeau, head of EA Labels, was quoted to have said, “Apple gave us a truckload of money to delay the Android version [of Plants vs Zombies 2].” Taken out of context or otherwise? You be the judge. This just goes to show how important one’s words are regardless of the setting.

PopCap Games must certainly be revelling in the success of Plants vs Zombies 2, where this particular title on the iOS platform has already hit the 25 million download mark, just nearly a fortnight after reportedly achieving the 16 million download mark. Still, despite this frightening figure, there does not seem as though there will be an Android version of the title in sight. It would be interesting to see just how much higher the 25 million mark could jump to should Plants vs Zombies 2 be made available on the top mobile OS in the world, right?

We were teased with a Crop Circles video yesterday, and that might bode a new expansion for the title on the iOS platform. Perhaps by the time Crop Circles arrives, those of us who are rocking to the Android platform might eventually end up with a freshly minted copy of Plants vz Zombies 2? One can wish, can they not? In fact, the impressive 25 million download mark within half a month is already more downloads compared to the total that the original received on iOS. If you happen to own an iOS device, how has your experience been with Plants vs Zombies 2 so far, or you haven’t yet downloaded it? [Press Release]
