I've never had a lot of fun playing tower defense games. The majority of TD games I played are on the iPhone and I've only gained marginal enjoyment out of them. The only surviving one on my phone is Geo Defense, and its crushing difficulty doesn't necessarily make me jump for joy in anticipation to play it.

This all changed when I got Plants vs Zombies for the iPhone. I tried out the demo on the PC and was entertained, but the touch controls on the iPhone make this game a must have for the iPhone. The difficulty increases gradually so the fun lasts longer and the graphics are great.

For those who don’t know, or haven’t figured it out yet, PvZ is a game where you defend your house from a horde of zombies using your supernatural botanical skills. Cherry Bombs, Pea Shooters, Wall-Nuts etc. are all part of your arsenal to fend of the undead. The zombies also have some tricks of their sleeves utilizing road cones, pots and doors for armor. There are also special zombies who pole vault your walls and Michael Jackson (they’re not really called this in the game) zombies who spawn additional dancer zombies to show the player who’s bad!

At $3 bucks this game gives you a lot more than your money’s worth.
