Maybe they think it’s a faster way to your brains…

Today marks the much anticipated release of PopCap’s Plants vs Zombies specifically adapted to the iPhone and iPod touch.

“Plants vs. Zombies for iPhone and iPod touch marks the first adaptation of our wildly popular ‘flower defense’ game to a new platform, and we’re excited at how well it has translated to the iPhone and iPod touch,” stated Andrew Stein, director of mobile platforms at PopCap Games. “We’ve stayed true to the original computer version with the full-featured gameplay of Adventure mode, and have optimized this adaptation around a seamless touch interface. Plus, we’ve added great content, including the new Quick Play Arena which allows easy replay of any level after completing the Adventure mode, and more than a dozen achievements to reward successful completion of in-game challenges.”

Some of the iPhone Plants vs Zombies features include:

*Quick Play – After completing Adventure Mode, allows easy access to any of the 50 adventure levels

*In Game challenges and achievement awards

*The treasured and helpful almanac, with plant, zombie, and player stats.

*Crazy Dave’s trunk-o’-the-car shop to keep you stocked up on the latest in zombie battle gear.

*Fluid animation technology – affording prettier plants and “zippier” zombies

*11 original musical pieces that mirror the increasing intensity of the gameplay
