Cheers guys. And purchased!

Remember guys, Plants vs Zombies is out tomorrow!

No one else here picked up Space Miner? ?2.99 but its an amazing game. It's basically a spin off from asteroids but with upgrades and a story and side missions. Quite possibly my favourite iphone game so far!

Here's a video:

PvZ tomorrow indeed, claims at rllmuk it'll be £1.79 but may have some of the modes stripped out and not be a full pc port.

Am I alone in hating anything with those stupid on screen pads ? I'm limited to puzzlers and tilt games as just can't control things using virtual sticks and buttons.

They are pretty bad... but I've played some stinkers that totally get tilt control wrong.

I am very surprised someone hasn't put out a solution for plugging in a gamepad yet. I mean, support for stuff like that was added in the 3.0 firmware. Heck, someone even has a PS3 pad working on the Nokia N97 now! So not sure why something similar hasn't been achieved on the iPhone yet.

I'm going for a ?3.99-?4.99 price.

Guess we'll find out tomorrow!

I think that if its a full pc port it will be a higher price around the £3 mark, if they've stripped out all the extra games modes it needs to be less.

Really looking forward to it, one of my fave games of recent times.

It looks like it's $4.19 on the USA store... Not sure if that's accurate though.

Plants vs. Zombies™

Stem a zombie attack on your iPhone!

Get ready to soil your plants in this brand-new version of the hit PopCap game! A mob of fun-loving zombies is about to invade your home, and your only defense is an arsenal of 49 zombie-zapping plants.

Each zombie has its own special skills, so you’ll need to think fast and plant faster to combat them all. But be careful how you use your limited supply of greens and seeds… as you battle the fun-dead, obstacles like a setting sun, creeping fog and a swimming pool add to the challenging fun.

It can't be, US prices are 99, 1.99, 2.99 etc...

[ChrisF]

Weird. Dunno then

[toythatkills]

Apparently it's starting to come out now, it's up in NZ and making its way through the timezones...

[ChrisF]

Funky. I've never played the PC version and held off from the constant barrage of Steam adverts so that I can try this. Looking forward to it
