The Imminent Arrival of Spring Means Beautiful Plants and Hordes of the Undead.
Spring is just about a week away. It’s a time of renewal. For some, that means the budding of new flowers. For others, it’s a chance to reanimate their dead tissue and go on the attack. Over on the Nintendo DSiWare™ service, Plants vs. Zombies reminds you that when the mob comes for you, foliage might be the only friend you have left. If you’re in the mood for a different kind of single-player strategy, the WiiWare™ service shines some Liight on a creative new puzzle-solving game that incorporates color, light and music.
