I was just replayingPlants vs. Zombieson the plane ride home from Tokyo and thinking it’s the perfect game to play when you need to waste some time, but don’t want to spend it on something completely mindless. The game has seemed like it’s doing very well, consideringit’s coming to Xbox LIVE, and today we got word of another cool thing that the zombies are doing: starring in a parade!
PopCap Preps Plants vs. Zombies™ for NYC Village Halloween Parade
Fans Invited to Join Zombie and Plant Characters from PopCap’s Family-Friendly Zombie Game at Nation’s Largest Public Halloween Celebration
PopCap is extending a special invitation to members of several undead enthusiast organizations including NYC Zombie Crawl and ZombieCon in an effort to make this parade appearance the largest gathering of zombies in parade history.
