Happy 10th Birthday Plants vs Zombies!

I can hardly believe that it has been ten years since the first Plants vs. Zombies game!!  (The 10 Year Anniversary was May 5th.  Of course there's another big 10 Year Anniversary coming up next week, but more on that another time!)

Tweet from PvZ creator George Fan

Seb is a MASSIVE PvZ fan, as you can probably tell from our Instagram feed.  He's recently got back into it in a big way, and he's been collecting plushies from eBay as fast as he can get the money to buy them...  Whenever zombies (or plants) come in the post we all have to formally introduce ourselves to them.  Then we have to play PvZ with them (Seb controls the game and we have to put the plants down).

Sometimes I feel like our lives are being taken over by zombies wandering around muttering 'brains' every few seconds.  Our house is a zombie-filled madhouse.  We're still playing PvZ 2.  And we have a massive collection of plants and zombies that we've drawn and laminated, so that we can play with them.  Oh, and Seb went to Comicon last year as a PvZ zombie.  He's getting me to make a Royal Hypno Flower costume for this year - I have the weirdest mum jobs!

Anyway, onto the PvZ anniversary fun.

Zack Scott has done a (lengthy) interview with the game's creator, George Fan (who also created Octogeddon).  Zack Scott has done a LOT of PvZ videos and he's kid friendly, so if you also have a PvZ obsessive in your house check him out!  (They might not be super keen on the hour and a half interview video, though!)

One of our favourite YouTubers, Zebragamer, has started a celebratory series playing through PvZ 2, so that's also worth a look.  He's great fun to watch, whatever he plays.

So whether it's PvZ (PEGI-7), PvZ 2 (PEGI-7), PvZ Heroes (PEGI-7). PvZ Garden Warfare (PEGI-7) or PvZ Garden Warfare 2 (also PEGI-7), why not play a bit of PvZ this week?  If you haven't played the original games, you should.  They're brilliant!

Oh, and also you should eat some tacos!

Hooray!
