Tech The Halls--PopCap Game Reviews (kid video)



The elves are swamped, so check in with Santa's expert in the 10 year old boy department--Tech Toy Tester, Dugan.   He'll tell you what's up with some of PopCap's best, award winning games like Plants Vs. Zombies, Bejeweled 3, Peggle & Peggle Nights and Bookworm Deluxe.

 

Plants vs. Zombies - Winner: 2011 Parents Choice Award.
 
Excellent fast-paced strategy game. A mob of fun-loving zombies is about to invade your home, and your only defense is an arsenal of zombie-zapping plants. Fun for the whole family – anyone age 5 to 105 can enjoy this game!

“Plants vs. Zombies leaps to the head of the tower defense pack by virtue of its polish, humor, simplicity and seductive strategic depth.”
-New York Times

“Lovingly made, so joyfully silly, and yet completely compelling.” 
-PC Magazine

Peggle- Winner: 2011 National Parenting Center's Seal of Approval

Each level of Peggle challenges the player to shoot a limited supply of balls at a field of colored pegs to clear out specifically marked pegs while attempting to achieve a high score through skilled shot planning.

“Peggle is a great game. It has a rhythmic, hypnotic quality not often found in other media.”
-NY Times

“Do yourself a favor and give Peggle a chance — it may not grab you by the lapels at first, but give it a few minutes and you won't be able to pry yourself away from the computer.”
-USA Today

Fans of other PopCap titles will likely recognize Peggle for what it truly is: a colorful, addictive game whose brilliant simplicity only adds to its charm and appeal.”
-Entertainment Weekly
