DUBLIN, September 8, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

   
           Earn or Purchase Game Currency 'Coins' to Unlock Nine New
                            Mini-Games and More

    PopCap Games, the worldwide leader in casual video games, today
announced a major update to its smash hit Plants vs. Zombies(TM) for the
iPhone(R). The update adds nine new mini-games all from the original PC/Mac
edition of the game, accessed via Crazy Dave's Store, and including an
all-new micro-game, plus brand new Game Center achievements.

    Players can unlock three mini-game packs (each containing three new
mini-games) by purchasing the packs from Crazy Dave with coins earned during
gameplay, or by tending the Zen Garden. Players short of coins, or wanting
immediate gratification can purchase the Sunflower's Golden Chest,
Marigold's Coin Pot and/or Stinky's Secret Stash via an in-app purchase for
GBP0.69 each to get enough coins to unlock the new content instantly.

    The new mini-games packs include fan favorites such as:

   
    Game Pack #3
    -Walnut Bowling 2: Knock 'em dead in this killer twist to an old favorite
    sport.
    -Seeing Stars: Unravel the mystery of the star-shaped pattern.
    -Bobsled Bonanza: Melt the ice and defeat bobsledders and Zombonis in
    this frosty battle.

    Game Pack #4
    Invisi-Ghoul: Test your prowess to take on invisible zombies.
    Last Stand: Not your average day at the pool!
    ZomBotany 2: Hybrid zombies sport plant heads and abilities to up the
    challenge ante.

    Game Pack #5
    -Beghouled Twist: An homage to Bejeweled Twist(TM), this mash-up requires
    match-3 skill.
    -Pogo Party: Crash the pogo party of your roof!
    -Zombie Nimble Zombie Quick: Get ready to move faster than ever!

    The update will also include more Game Center achievements to accompany
the new mini-games: Shooting Star; Beyond the Grave; Peking Express; Sol
Invictus; and Sproing! Sproing!

    Also featured is the new "Race to China" micro-game: You've probably
seen the Chinese zombies down the achievements tunnel, but how fast can you
dig your way to China?
