Even more hilarious Plants vs. Zombies ads photo

PopCap got a kick out of how funny we thought their Evony-spoofed Plants vs. Zombies ads were, but really, it's stuf flike this that makes me love them so much as a company and look forward to their games. Serious titles are awesome and everything, but for me nothing measures up to a game that will keep me giggling.

Anyway, PopCap were kind enough to share an exclusive sneak preview of the rest of the ads they created in that campaign with Destructoid, which you can see in the attached gallery. Evony really did deserve a good spoofing, and it gets me to thinking that we should spend more time laughing at ridiculous games instead of being irritated by them. Speaking of PopCap, I hear they have a new game out today. Look for our review of Bookworm Adventures 2 coming very soon!

@Arkhon, MotoRobo

I was about to tell you guys to disable your adblocking software (that was my problem with the previous article) but it looks like that doesn't do anything here. Maybe Colette's swapping the files or something?

God damn, I love me some Bookworm. Hopefully the new game is worth checking out. I just wish it was coming to XBLA.

If Evony really is malware, then I hope ad agencies work to get it removed at some point.

Evony isn't malware, except inasmuch as it is a terrible game. I was curious enough to check it out once, and was disappointed. By the way, the game has literally nothing to do with the ads.

I wonder if the Evony people could sue over this. It would be the douchebaggiest thing ever, but hilarious.
