While Electronic Arts and PopCap are hard at work on next year's Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, players are still plowing away at the original Garden Warfare. In fact, this morning, EA and PopCap have announced that over 8 million players have jumped into the original botanical undead shooter.

To celebrate this milestone, Garden Warfare players are getting a special reward. All accounts have been awarded with 80,000 PvZ coins, offering players a chance to play around with some in-game currency. As a reminder, most Garden Warfare characters can be transferred to the upcoming Garden Warfare 2, so use those coins wisely.

EA has also added in a few other stats, for fans of numbers. Over 1.4 billion games have been played, with plants having destroyed over 7 billion zombies. The war is set to continue next year when Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 arrives on February 23.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
