You don't have to have a green thumb or have any affection for the undead to be one of the millions of gamers who have been absolutely enthralled with PopCap Games's Plants vs. Zombies. Finding its way to nearly every major gaming platform since its release almost 3 years ago, it has been fleshed out in HD for iPad and recently found a new home on the PlayStation Vita.
