Many different video game developers have made their mark on the community giving hopeful gamers a chance at grabbing the perfect game for them. However, while many games for traditional platforms are priced at $60 there are many games with a much smaller price tag giving gamers a chance at some great gameplay without breaking the ban. One such developer of these games is PopCap who have popular games like Plants vs. Zombies and Peggle.
While PopCap games have grown to be quite popular it seems that the company may be more valuable than we had originally thought. According to recent reports, EA is planning to purchase the indie game developer for a whopping $1 billion. Of course, at this point these reports remain nothing more than rumors so we’ll have to see how this one pans out.
Many say that mobile platforms will eventually get so popular that dedicated mobile consoles such as the Nintendo 3DS and Sony PSP just won’t be able to compete. While we haven’t seen this put into full effect just yet many different mobile software developers are doing what they can to help this along. PopCap is one developer who has many different titles available for the various mobile platforms including Apple’s iOS which powers the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
One of their more popular games, Plants vs. Zombies, has managed to impress both in terms of gameplay and sales numbers but it doesn’t look as if PopCap is looking to slow up with the game just yet. Just today, PopCap sent out a message via Twitter letting us know that Plants vs. Zombies will be coming to the Android mobile platform at some point in the next couple of months.
Seeing how Android has grown to be one of the most used mobile platforms this is sure to boost sales of the game dramatically. We’ll have to wait and see how things turn on.
After a game is realeased more often times than not members of the community will come forth to create things never even dreamed of by the game’s original developer. One prime example of this is none other than the LittleBigPlanet series which has seen a whole slew of creative levels meant to mimic other things from games to fully functioning computers. Today, a creator by the name of Foggles has come forth to show of their remake of the PopCap’s popular Plants vs Zombies game created entirely with LittleBigPlanet 2′s in-game development tools.
PopCap’s very popular Plants vs Zombies game has been released on a range of platforms, and on September 8, it’ll finds its way onto Xbox Live Arcade. The title will sport full HD graphics and will retail for $15.
PopCap has announced that Plants Vs. Zombies will be coming to Xbox Live Arcade in September, and will have a new online feature, which they describe as “a goofy new way to track and share progress online, where players create their own custom house and cruise down the street to see their friends’ cribs!”. Also, the game will have the highest resolution of any Plants vs Zombie game, as it will run at full 1080p.
There have been numerous stories about how much money people have made developing iPhone apps, and here’s another one – Not too long ago we announced that PopCap’s Plants vs. Zombies was available on the App Store. It was a port of a popular PC game of the same name. Well, word has just gotten out that Plants vs. Zombies has netted PopCap an outrageous $1 million worth of revenue.
Late last month PopCap let us know that the iPhone/iPod touch version of Plants vs. Zombies would be seeing a delay to mid-February. However, we weren’t notified of an exact release date, until now. PopCap, along with releasing the above trailer, has officially announced that Plants vs. Zombies will be hitting the App Store for use with the iPhone and iPod touch on February 15th, 2010.
We’ve yet to hear of a price for the game but we can’t see it being too high.
The iPhone version of PopCap’s excellent Plants vs. Zombies game has been delayed for a little while, and has been moved from late-January to mid-February, PopCap announced via Twitter. It’s not that big of a deal, and we’re sure the wait will be worthwhile. It always is with PopCap.
If you’re a fan of casual PC games you’ve probably heard of Plants vs. Zombies. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a tower defense type game that pits well, Plants against Zombies.
It was released towards the middle of ’09 but has yet to be ported to a portable platform. Luckily, for fans of the game, PopCap has announced that Plants vs. Zombies will be make a leap to the iPhone in late January.
There’s no word on how much it will cost. However, considering PopCap’s other iPhone games like Chuzzle, Peggle and Bookworm cost $1.99 it’d be safe to assume Plants vs. Zombies will too.
