Plants vs Zombies
F4LL0UT knows his games, and this one is simply superb! “While I’m not a fan of tower defense games in general, I instantly fell in love with this one. Zombies are invading your house and your plants are your main defense. Bigger hordes of more and more dangerous zombies demand cunning tactics and a wise choice of plants.

A whole bunch of minigames are further expanding the game, offering many many hours of fun.” Continue Reading
