Plants vs. Zombies Demo Released

May 4, 2009 8:07 AM

Now available on FileShack is the Plants vs. Zombies demo, a 26MB download that allows you to play PopCap's chlorophyll-powered defense force game for thirty minutes.

While the game isn't officially due until tomorrow, the demo enables you to purchase the full version of the PC title from PopCap today. The company is asking $19.95 for its latest, with the "PLANTS10" coupon code knocking 10% off.

However, there's a cheaper option. Valve's digital distribution service Steam is selling PvZ for a paltry $9.99--half of PopCap's price. The full version unlocks tomorrow morning, with a free copy of Heavy Weapon included as a pre-order incentive.

Heavy Weapon is really boring, it's fun for about 15 minutes.

  I had fun for 45 minutes - in three bursts of 15 minutes each. Then I removed it. So yeah, I agree.

    I'd like to play it like the 360's version, where one stick controls the tank and the other the beam. It's quite better.

  I personally think it's great in small doses. The survival mode (a la L4D survival) kept me playing it over and over again trying to beat my previous best times.

  I'd rather play like Raiden 2 or something
