    PvZ Presents: Talking Zombatar Preview

    By

    I'm going to say three words right now, and depending on your familiarity I should instantly be able to place you into one of two groups.  Are you ready?  Talking Tom Cat.  If this means nothing to you, congratulations: you're living the carefree life of a childless adult.  For the rest of us though, apps like Talking Tom Cat have pretty much become routine in the life of any parent sporting a smartphone - and PopCap is looking to jump into that kid-friendly app world with the release of PvZ Presents: Talking Zombatar.

    ComicCon gets all the best stuff — four cool gaming exclusives

    Every one of us has that awesome geeky friend with all of the incredible fan paraphernalia lined across the walls. "Dang … How did you get all this crazy stuff?" we always ask. And, inevitably, the answer is always the same: they were able to snag their awesome swag at an awesome convention that we couldn't afford to go to. Rats.

    PopCap invades the real world with Plants vs. Zombies merchandising deals

    By

    You can't walk five steps in a retail store without seeing Rovio's Angry Birds franchise on multiple shelves. There are t-shirts, a card game, iPhone covers, and plush toys from five inches to over a foot in diameter. You can even eat Angry Birds gummy candy. No longer content at watching Rovio extend their brand (while earning millions of dollars in the process), Bejeweled and Plants vs. Zombies creator PopCap is looking to enter the merchandising fray.

    Angry Birds has the numbers, but Plants vs. Zombies has a Hip Hop Video

    By

    There is no question that the phenomenon that is Angry Birds is backed by impressive numbers. The game has been downloaded over 350 million times and Rovio sells an average of 1 million t-shirts and plush toys, respectively (Techcrunch). An amusement park in China has created a real-life Angry Birds game.And in an entertaining piece in The Atlantic, senior editor Alexis Madrigal proved he does not have an economic bone in his body by estimating that Angry Birds costs the US economy $1.5 billion a year based on what may possibly be the worse analysis I have ever read in my life. One would think PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies should have Angry Birds-envy, if not for the fact that Plants vs. Zombies now has its very own hip hop video.

    PopCap reportedly being bought for $1 billion. ZUMA!

    By

    Techcrunch is reported a rumor that someone is close to buying PopCap Games for $1 billion. That's right, I said it - $1 billion … dollars!Techcrunch speculates on who the buyer may be. Rumors were that Zynga was looking very closely at PopCap but got scared off by the big price tag. There is always Electronic Arts, but with their own valuation of $5 billion, $1 billion sounds awfully high. Other good candidates are companies from Asia, especially since this has been an area of huge investment for PopCap in the past few years.
