Plants vs. Zombies

[Rating:9/10] Everyone knows that everything is better with zombies. Plants vs. Zombies is no exception. This 28MB download from Popcap games will ensure that from now on, you won't have a minute of boredom while sitting in from of your computer. Essentially, instead of shotguns and chainsaws repelling hordes of the brain eating undead, you make clever use of your green fingers and some rather obviously genetically mutated plants to build a line of defense between them and your back d...

My only notable experience with GTA in the past was with GTA IV o...

Just what WoW needed: Dungeon Finder

I am by no stretch of the imagination the worlds most avvid World of Warcraft player, but I've dabbled a little and when I have nothing exciting to play on my Xbox 360 it's a great filler. A monthly subscription will also only cost you just over R100, which is great if you're a little strapped for cash and can't fork out R700 for a new 360 game. One of the only issues I had with WoW as a casual player was that I couldn't really complete any of the dungeons, or instances, as I didn't really know...
