    PopCap announces official title and release date of Plants vs. Zombies sequel

    By

    It feels like I've been waiting four whole years for a proper sequel to my favorite plant-themed strategy game, Plants vs. Zombies. Oh wait a minute, that's because it has been four whole years since the original Plants vs. Zombies was first released on PC and Mac platforms back in 2009. Rumors began circulating early this year that the sequel would come with the subheading "Garden Warfare," but the lack of any real confirmation from the zombies themselves left many of us fans thinking: what's taking so long PopCap?!

    No longer must you be the schmuck on the block aiding kids in their quest for cavities. PopCap and the American Dental Association (ADA) have teamed up to provide access to millions of free Plants vs. Zombies codes to hand out in lieu of candy.

    PopCap’s Giordano Contestabile talks mobile and social gaming, and the rise of cross-platform convergence (Casual Connect)

    By

    When PopCap started back in 2000, they weren't concerned with the relationship between mobile and social -- mostly because neither of those things were considered game platforms yet.
