Slip into a pair of overalls and try your hand at running a farm! From tending to the fields where your cows graze to gathering eggs for sale at the town market, Farm Frenzy is as stimulating as the real thing, only you won’t have to experience the nasty smells! You will, however, be required to invest the money you earn in new equipment. Building a cheese dairy, for example, allows you to process your milk on the spot and make even more cash!

There are several games available in the Farm Frenzy series, including:

	Farm Frenzy 3 Manage five farms around the world and try your hand at penguin breeding and jewelry making!
	Farm Frenzy 3: American Pie Can you keep up with the latest advancements in robot technology as you grow crops, feed animals, collect produce and manufacture goods?
	Farm Frenzy: Pizza Party Return to the farm to make pizzas that will be enjoyed around the world! Don’t miss all the fun in Farm Frenzy: Pizza Party!

If you thought life in the big city was crazy, wait until you get a load of the country life in Farm Frenzy! Daily chores have never been more entertaining as you cultivate your fields, feed your animals and gather the items they produce. You can spend the money you earn on upgrading your farm! Offering plenty of finger-clicking action, just enough strategy to keep things interesting and an amusing cast of characters, Farm Frenzy is a game the whole family can enjoy!

Plants vs. Zombies Reviews

Plants vs. Zombies, a new game from prolific developer PopCap Games, is a humorous action-strategy game in which you find yourself trapped in your house, surrounded by legions of lovably laughable undead zombies!

Your only protection is a variety of mutant garden plants — flowers, vines, trees and other foliage — that have strange, but very useful, zombie-combating powers and abilities.

The game sets out to answer one very important question: Can your vegetable garden really protect you from an army of the undead?

“We love zombie games as much as everyone else, but unlike other undead offerings we wanted to create a zombie game that would appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers alike,” explained George Fan, senior game designer at PopCap. “It’s been great to see both casual and hardcore gamers in our beta test group get totally absorbed in the game, clicking intensely as the zombies chomp on their front yards.”

Featuring five different modes of play, Plants vs. Zombies presents you with a front lawn and encroaching zombies striving to reach your front door and devour your brains. Choose from an ever-increasing assortment of specialized, zombie-battling plants to slow down, confuse, weaken and ultimately destroy the vegetation-munching undead before they can traverse your yard and reach your front door.

To survive, you’ll need to choose your plants carefully, place them strategically, and use your resources wisely — decisions that are key to overcoming more than two dozen different kinds of zombies, each with its own combination of “skills” and behaviors. Additional obstacles and challenges in later levels include the setting of the sun, a creeping fog that obscures part of your view – even a swimming pool that takes up much of your lawn.

Features of Plants vs. Zombies include:

Five different modes of play: Adventure, Survival, Puzzle, Zen Garden and Mini-Game Challenges
50 levels in the main Adventure mode and more than 50 more in the other game modes, with limitless replayability
More than four dozen plants, from cherry bombs and peashooters to melon-pults, wall-nuts and sunflowers
Dozens of different zombie types, including back-from-the-dead miners, businessmen, football players, even a zombie bobsled team!
Suburban almanac tracks your progress and provides vital stats on plant and zombie types
Crazy Dave’s trunk-o’-the-car shop where you can purchase special “power plants” and other zombie-exterminating tools as well as potted versions for your Zen Garden
New fluid animation technology for prettier plants and zippier zombies
14 original musical pieces that dynamically adjust to the intensity of the game in real time
So frighteningly fun you’ll soil your plants!

If you haven’t checked out this game yet, do so … it’s a delightfully ghoulish but lighthearted romp that’ll draw you right in and not let go until all the zombies are vanquished!

I can’t recommend this game highly enough … give it a try!
