All of these characters have been rendered in full 3D this time around and they are incredibly detailed from head to toe. ![]() Zomboss in particular oversees all of the action from atop his gigantic zombot at the top of the table. You will see a ton of familiar faces, ranging from the various zombies (normal, coneheads, bucketheads) to Crazy Dave and Dr. The entire table is filled to the brim with all of the sights and sounds of Popcap’s now-classic defense game. I am not talking just from an audible and visual perspective, but in terms of the total experience. Popcap and Zen Studios have done an excellent job at taking the world of PvZ and compacting it down into the confines of a (video) pinball table. When Zen Studios recently announced that they were collaborating with Popcap to turn one of their franchises into a Zen Pinball 2 (ZP2) / Pinball FX 2 table, there wasn’t any doubt in my mind which title it would be. I for one, have owned numerous copies of both of these games across nearly every platform that has come and gone. Just like Tetris, its simple yet addictive gameplay keeps you coming back again and again we aren’t talking about a matter of days or weeks, but years of replay value. Zombies (PvZ) might be the closest thing to “prefect” in recent memory. ![]() I still stand by that position but believe that we have seen another such game arrive in the industry. In my book, you couldn’t ask for more out of a title. It was simple, addictive, and most importantly, a ton of fun. A few years back, during a casual conversation regarding the video game industry, I made the argument that the original Gameboy version of Tetris was perhaps the best definition of a perfect game.
