There's a zombie on your lawn
Like a Britney Spears song, it drones, it repeats itself, it's a little brainless; but it's the song you're humming to yourself on your way to work. It's the song in your head you'd like to replace with a bullet, on your way home.
It's like being able to play something from Homestar Runner instead of just watching it.
Extra points for (a little) creativity. I'm not a big fan of casual games, but I'm actually looking forward to trying this one. Why? Well, I'm a sucker for zombies, but that's not all it has going for it. Anyone can create a tower defense game - but it takes imagination to make the heroes smiling, happy flowers. And the villains cute, but dumb caricatures carrying screen doors for defense. In a marketplace awash in cookie-cutter xerox copies of Halo, Resident Evil and Warcraft, bravo to Pop Cap for releasing something a bit different (which is new for them too apparently, see video below). And the tagline is... well, sublime. I won't spoil it.
It makes a great sequel to the last Pop Cap game I actually sat down and played: Peggle.
