Just when you think PopCap's latest classic can't possibly come to any other platform, you're proven wrong -- by Blizzard, of all people. There's a quest in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm that pays tribute (and then some) to Plants vs. Zombies. Thanks to TotalBiscuit, you don't have to be a subscriber to see.

What it lacks in charming visuals is made up for by the absurd level of faithfulness to the core lawn defense concept. As far as cramming PvZ into this type of setting goes, you aren't going to get much better than this quest without running into serious diminishing returns.

We live in a strange world.

This isn't the first time PopCap popped up in WoW. But they were just addons (Peggle and Bejeweled) before. This is killer.

I remember when the Peggle addon came to WoW.

It added like 30% more time between attempts in Ulduar because people would challenge each other to Peggle duels after every wipe...

Wow, its even harder to wait for cataclysm now.

Even if some people are not a big fan of either one of these games I hope they can appreciate this. :)

I like this! It's a step in the right direction, a step that World of Warcraft really needs in my eyes, to become a decent game.
