SOE Announces PSN Line-up; Plants vs. Zombies Adorably Emerging onto PS3 in February

PopCap's addictive reach has once again emerged on PS3 soil. Today, Sony Computer Entertainment announced it will bring a port of the PC fan-fave Plants vs. Zombies to the PlayStation Network in February.

If you're tired of hearing that cute song, SOE also revealed a slew of original PSN experiences: In March, Fire Hose Games will launch its build and brawl title Slam Bolt Scrappers. Sometime in the "Spring," Playbrains and Fuel Industries will release Sideway--a game set in the art culture of New York.

Also on the horizon is the robo beat 'em up Acceleration of Suguri X Edition from developer Rockin' Android; Akimi Village from NinjaBee, which has players gather resources to save a village from "lingering doom"; Recoil Games is prepping the side-scrolling, space puzzle game dubbed Rochard.

Now that Plants vs. Zombies is on pretty much every platform there is, maybe we can finally get a sequel. Unless the company is currently developing a version that can run on my toaster. In which case, I'll wait.

    This worries me. I think everyone has been exposed to PvZ either on PC and 360.
    It's a little late for a Ps3 port, no?
    They should of had a sequel banged out moons ago.

      All depends on who's doing the port. If they farmed it out, then it was probably held up on the contract. Meaning the internal team is already working on a project. Speaking of which, it's common for a team to finish a project and move on to a different immediately. After the commercial success a design team may get the time to return that IP. In the game industry, it's very rare you bank on something being a hit to start a sequel so soon. Unless your EA and you think Spore is all that. . .
