PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies is available today on the Apple App Store, and you should buy it immediately if you own an iPhone or an iPod touch. It's only -- are you sitting down? -- $2.99.
Sure to be one of this week's top App Store sellers, Plants vs. Zombies received critical acclaim when it hit PC and Mac earlier this year. We awarded it with an "Editor's Choice" to match its perfect scores for the $19.99 lawn-defense title.
So yeah, $2.99. You simply must buy this. I spent some time playing this morning, and it feels wonderful on the iPhone's touch screen, perhaps better than the keyboard/mouse set up on the PC and Mac. I'm finding it much faster (and more fun) to tap falling light seeds and place defenses on the lawn with my thumbs.
Did I mention this only was going to cost you $3? Stop reading this and go buy it. It might be the best value in gaming you'll find this year.

Also, this marks the first time a set release date has been given for an iPhone game as far as I know. Hopefully it's not just a fluke.
OR WAIT 2 WEEKS AND GET IT FOR $.99
However if they offer it down the line for $.99 it would still be worth it. Solid game and I agree that the touch controls feel better for picking up sunshine and even placing the plants feels great.
I wish worms turned out this solid. Oh well...
That being said, I'm buying this as soon as I get home tonight. I knew my wait to play PvZ would pay off.
Glad I got it, and I'm glad Popcap delayed the game to get it right.
That's what you get for browsing destructoid before you're fully awake. That said, I still want good Android games.

£1.79 for Dtoiders in the UK. I can't wait to try this out on my iPod!
Here's just one of many reasons why most iPhone games won't be ported to Android in the near future, if ever:
