I really enjoyed this game. It's different. It's funny. I am 55 yr male and I liked it so much, I bought it.
| Added on: October 30, 2009
Love the game...fun to replay to try and do better next time. The Zombies almost make me laugh :)
| Added on: October 31, 2009
I've had lots of fun, playing Plants Vs Zombies. It alternates between easy in the early levels, to extremely difficult when playing some of the higher bonus levels. I've own this game for a month now and have replayed it many times.
| Added on: October 23, 2009
My son and I play this game and we get quite competitive. This games is fun, funny, surprising, and thought prevoking. I would HIGHLY recommend this game for people who like puzzle games, solitaire, and protect the tower style games.
| Added on: September 29, 2009
This game is awesome. I've been playing it everyday since I purchased it (which was over a month ago). My husband usually likes to play WOW all the time, he takes some time of and get in to PVZ we both love it. Those Zombies are so cute. (in a weird way, lol)
| Added on: May 29, 2012
This one is addicting. I spend a month clicking through it - and now seem hoplessly addicted. Thanks for the fun!
| Added on: February 17, 2012
I just heard about this game recently and that it is very popular. I hadn't tried it because of the name but decided to after hearing it was so much fun. It's a riot and actually gets pretty hard as you advance. Zombies with scuba gear! Give it a try.
| Added on: January 25, 2010
This is my all time favorite game. I have played it all the way through several times. It is fun to come up with different combinations of plants to fight the zombies with. I definitely recommend this game!
| Added on: January 11, 2010
I usually play a game until I beat it and then never again. I've played this game through at least 3 times. I can't wait for the sequel...please say there will be one!
| Added on: December 27, 2010
Finally an Original game! Easy and Hard, Young and old, skilled and random its got it all. Play it the way you want. Gets hard enough to satisfy a need for challange.
| Added on: May 27, 2009
Take time to read the dialogue and descriptions of the plants and zombies; it's hysterical! This game is enjoyable because one has to try different combinations of 'weapons' to see what works best; this is a logical persons dream! I'd give it two thumbs up but they're busy playing the game...
| Added on: August 7, 2010
LOVE this Game! The characters are orignal and charming - the music is fun to boggy to while playing - Really enjoy that MY zombie creations show up for attacks - This game makes me happy!
| Added on: October 20, 2009
The best thing, besides the great character drawings and the gameplay itself, is the fact that you can keep coming back and play other levels, games and puzzles. It is just fun! And definitely worth buying.
| Added on: January 6, 2012
Plants vs Zombies, is not only fun and easy to learn, but as you advance it can be quite challanging,enjoy the game it is quite addictive.
| Added on: July 8, 2011
I had no issues except that I don't get anything else done while playing this game......
| Added on: August 19, 2010
No two levels are the same. Having to choose different defense options for each level keep it interesting. Great graphics - you can create your own zombies which is fun!
| Added on: January 20, 2011
This game provides a very good mix of easy and fun levels that kids will enjoy with an ever increasing difficulty level that keeps you coming back for more. If you're an expert player, you can make the game arbitrarily difficult by handicapping yourself. Some easter eggs to find, too.
| Added on: September 15, 2009
Ever woken up on a bright Sunday morning, gone out to your front lawn to admire the sunrise, and noticed the ravening hordes of zombies on the street looking for brains to eat? Me neither, but if you did, this would be the game that would show you how to defend your home and your brains using not-so-common household plants. The learning curve for this game is nice and easy with a relaxed pace (because most zombies don't move all that fast) and the atmosphere is utterly wonderful. There are dozens of parodies and subtle jokes that will make kids and adults laugh as zombies are pelted with vegetables, set on fire, and even eaten by your garden of protective greenery ("Feeed me Seymour!"). Add to this mix a lunatic neighbour who hunts squirbos (ask him not me), a zen garden to relax in, and a host of mini-games, and you have a perfect game purchase that will provide countless hours of creepy giggle-filled fun.

One of my all time favourites. I've played this game from beginning to end several times and enjoyed it each time. Hurry and make another PLEASE.
| Added on: October 21, 2009
This game is so much fun and very addictive! a completely different game than youre used too!
| Added on: August 15, 2011
If you like a challenge, you will like this game! I am finding it addictive!
| Added on: August 18, 2011
Highly addictive! The whole family loves this game and we each have a our own profile with fighting over who gets a turn to play. This game is entertaining enough even when watching someone else play. Great value - there are so many levels, mini-games, puzzles and ways to take it beyond just the adventure. It is not one of those games that you can beat in 3 hours and it's done. There are so many ways to challenge yourself and the game even takes it to the next level by challenging you with pre-determined selections. We've enjoyed literally HOURS playing it - I've sat down to play a few rounds and then found most of the day is gone. And then stayed up way later than I should just to get...to...that...next...level.

This game has so many different games and puzzles that you really never get bored. The zombies are fun and the plants are varied. Some of the levels require quite a bit of strategy. This game is an excellent value.
| Added on: June 25, 2009
The graphics and the concept are great but the game is far to easy. When does the challenge come in? I put a good amount of time into this game and never had a zombie come close to succeeding.
| Added on: October 19, 2009
After 14 replays of the game and a tree almost 300 feet tall, I can tell you that this game has replay value to last for years! The first time through the game introduces you to all the characters, plants and zombies, and lets you get familiar with how things work in the game. After that, it's strategy (what works, what doesn't, collecting coins, getting more plants) and, what sets this game game above all others, it's different each time. After the first play through, Crazy Dave selects 3 plants for you each time. Sometimes these help, sometimes they don;t, but they do make each level different no matter how many times you have played it before. The only drawback - this game will spoil you for any other game. I now compare any game I'm thinking about buying to this one and, I have to say, most are coming up far short. Pop Cap has a classic in this one.

While I'm not normally an arcade game lover, I really enjoyed this one. Very challenging and inventive.
| Added on: May 19, 2010
LOVED it!!! Great action game. It really makes you think and the graphics are awesome. GREAT BUY!!!
| Added on: October 7, 2010
Very addictive - need to click quickly on the higher levels. Several additional features (eg puzzles) make the whole package even better value
| Added on: September 8, 2011
I love this game! And I'm ready for the sequel!! The variety of weapons, defenses, zombie types, and humor make it one of the great games of all time.
| Added on: October 28, 2009
I absolutely love this game! Its premise is so original and quirky, you become quickly addicted. I love the music and the fact that the replay is basically endless. The mini games and puzzles are a wonderful addition to this game. My boyfriend sneers at "computer games" but he became a huge fan of this game and steals my laptop in order to play it. Absolutely wonderful. I look forward to the next game by these creators.

I really enjoy this game. I want to be able to get further in it than I can in the 60 min play time. I find this game very enjoyable and I love to create different gardens each time so that I can find a way to defeat all of the zombies.
| Added on: August 27, 2010
This is the first arcade game I have played in years, and I really liked it. I usually stick to HO and TM games because none of the other ones ever hold much interest for me, but this game was really cute. There are tons of reviews on this game, so I don't need to launch off into a huge explanation of every little detail that happens, as I am sure a bunch of people have already done so, but I liked it. It wasn't AMAZING, but it was really cute and I will probably buy the full version at some point. I was bummed out when it ended because it was pretty fun, and I almost never actually give arcade games a try, but this one was worth it!

this game is GREAT!!! but its a little hard and the cheats don't work but everything except that is GREAT!!!! and there should be 13 plant slots not 10 and there should be levels where you are in a grave yard !! and a war zombie. other than that, i LOVE it!!! and when you make a zombie, there should be items like a screen door you know what i mean !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
| Added on: October 19, 2009
I loved this game!!! If you like the Garden Defense games, you'll love this one too!
| Added on: September 19, 2011
love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its one of my fav. games now!
| Added on: December 23, 2009
What's not to like about a planting frenzy to launch an all-out attack on a wave of insane zombies trying to invade your house?? And who knew there were so many different types of zombies, including one who very much resembles the late Michael Jackson! Gotta hand it to PopCap, this one is pretty original and it has all the right extra touches such as Craaazy Dave and the funny Almanac and "Help" manuals. Plants vs Zombies is well worth the cash.

This is one game you can play over and over again and never get bored. I have recomended this game to all my friends, and my family and I have constant compitentions between one another. When will P vs Z the second arrive? We are on the edge of our seats!

I love this game, I recomend it to everyone! Very Quick paced and fun!
| Added on: December 24, 2009
I loved this game from the moment i heard the theme song on you tube. Great graphics, great game play, and I've played it through three times. The little extras, like the zen gardens, and the items shop make this full of fun, and the levels are varied and challenging enough that I never mind placing my first sunflowers the same way. This is some of the best arcade action I've had a in a long time.
| Added on: July 7, 2009
Besides being very addictive, it is fun and the fun doesn't end when you think you have gotten to the finally level

This game is addicting! My boyfriend played for five hours straight!

I played three levels, but was never fully engaged.
| Added on: September 24, 2010
I love this game! My significant other and I both play, and it's difficult to say which of us loves it more. I've even gotten my five-year-old nephew involved. I love the Zombatar! Don't much care for the new Dancing Zombie, but I understand why it was changed. The achievements are a welcome addition! One minor request, though: in the next version of the game, could we have some female zombies?
| Added on: July 13, 2010
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. It made it into the Gamers Edition of the Guiness book of records, so there's your first clue that this game is GOOD. It's clever, funny and challenging. Easily the best game I have ever played on a Mac / PC. Brilliant.
| Added on: January 11, 2011
This game is so much fun i never seam to tire of it. There is aways something new to do. At the end of each level you get new plants to buy and it is very funny to see what they do to the plants. So all in all this game is a must try don't pass up on it you will regret it.
| Added on: October 19, 2009
very kid friendly and cute, but just difficult enough I enjoyed it too. will probably buy this one!
| Added on: January 19, 2010
The game is very fun and challenging. The Almanac is a bonus I didn't like the Puzzles but they are creative and fun also (and a good way to raise funds for spending in the shop) Don't let the Zombies eat our brains!!!!
| Added on: May 26, 2011
This is one very fun game! Who ever came up with this game should make more games.
| Added on: March 27, 2012
Your house is next to a spooky cemetery, and the Zombies are hungry...For your brains! The plants in your garden are the only defense you have to kill the Zombies before they break into your house and eat your brains!, This is not a brainless shooter game...NO! This is a strategy game because you have to figure out what to plant and where to plant. The plants can do everything from shooting peas, destroying obstructive headstones, and one even has the power to make the Zombies fight for you! There are some plants that can only be used in the daytime, and there are powerful mushrooms that can only be used at night. Make sure that you plant enough sunflowers, because without sunlight to power your plant, you're toast. This game is fun, exciting, humorous, and addicting. It has minigames to play, and you can even create your own Zombie avatar. Although I think that the game is a hoot, it might scare young ones. However, if you like arcade style action games that make you think a little, then this one is definitely for you.

It starts out easy and then gets challenging and addicting. You'll spend hours on the computer kicking zombie butt. The mini games and puzzles are just as fun. If I had to describe this game in one word, it would be...wait for it....BRAINS!!
| Added on: August 4, 2010
I love this game! It has a great sense of humor, and is easy to pick up and play. The zombies get more and more interesting, as do the plants you get as weapons. With day levels and night levels, and fun mini games every so often, this is another awesome addition to PopCap's lineup. You will love this game.
| Added on: August 7, 2010
Loved this game, wasn't sure at first what to think, or if I would like it but now I wish I could afford to buy it.
| Added on: September 1, 2010
This is one of the best family friendly casual games ever. Kids of all ages enjoy the colorful zombies as well as the challenge of ever increasing difficulty of the swarms of zombies. Great for younger kids as the graphics are colorful and the sound track engaging. Crazy Dave is a hit with younger kids as well .. because he's CRAZY!!! Great fun, this is one of those must have games
| Added on: March 3, 2012
We've played through it and now are going back and playing again, just as much fun. PLUS, there are all those little individual games you get access to that are just as much fun. Plant your zen garden, feed a snail some chocolate, and let him collect a TON of coins for an hour while you go do something else, come back, buy more stuff, and kill zombies!
| Added on: October 16, 2009
I love this game. I still haven't beaten all of the levels yet some are so challenging. The music is super addictive and the plants are so cute.
| Added on: April 10, 2012
Addicted to the game. Love every aspect of the game down to the Almanac - the descriptions for those plants and zombies are much fun to read :3 P.S., Love them mini games too.
| Added on: November 25, 2009
I just love this game. It starts out a little slow (for learning phase) but gets more and more challenging and fast-paced as the game goes on. Takes some strategy in choosing what plants to use for which zombies. Great graphics, wide variety of plants and zombies with different characteristics, increased value with included minigames. Very interesting and fun to play over and over again. I HOPE THEY MAKE A SEQUEL!!!!
| Added on: April 24, 2010
A tower defence game reeking of pure class for so little money too! This is a must-buy game of the highest proportions, a game that is as addictive as it is colourful and where the graphics are as smooth as the gameplay. The quality is first-class! IOn fact there is absolutely nothing that can be worthy of a detraction in the number of stars I have given it!
| Added on: April 4, 2011
My 3 yr old Grandson and I play this game together. He also plays it by himself. He actually got me hooked on it by asking me to play while he watches. It is great fun. :)
| Added on: July 28, 2010
Can...not...stop... playing...this...game. One of the best, most unique, quirky, hilarious games ever. Whoever thought of the storyline deserves a medal. And listen to their theme song.
| Added on: October 28, 2009
I loved this game. My son and I played for days trying to beat it. Its a lot of fun.
| Added on: March 17, 2013
I'm not surprised that this game was voted "game of the year" - it is so great. I have finished the game but still play it A LOT because there is still so much to do! That is one of the greatest things about this game. I also like how you get a book that teaches you about all the zombies and plants. Also like the many minigames and final boss battle. Lastly, I like the creativity of the game in all the plants and zombies!

I thought the game was quiet different. not sure where plants go with zombies but game is faced paced with lots going on. My 7 year old loves it.

I really didnt expect much from this game. I played a few rounds and was totally addicted. Very fun game!
| Added on: December 18, 2012
I just love this one! The graphics are so nice! And killing zombies have always been fun. There's a lot of humour in this game, from the messages you get from the zombies, and the character animation. This game is not really challenging, but that's not a problem. You get new plants almost every level, and the design of the level change, so you have to adapt your strategy. You never get bored! It's a must have if you never played it.

As my headline suggests this game has magic to it, I got glued to it for months. Wow, its awesome and prolly the best game I have ever played.
| Added on: October 19, 2009
I wasn't expecting how hooked to this game I was going to get. I played it obsessively. And it has a lot of laughs too. Also, there is a lot more to do than just kill zombies. When you finish you'll probably want to play it through again, and maybe a third or forth time. And for the price, you get a lot of game, so it's a really good value. I'm praying for a sequel.
| Added on: September 9, 2010
The graphics are cute, and I like that "the directions" were written by the zombies. So pretty much you do the opposite of what they've advised in the notes they leave. Some of the games and puzzles that seem like relaxing ways to make more points are actually instructional practice for figuring out how various kinds of zombies are defeated, but they don't say so. It just is. I enjoy the crazy neighbor who advises and sells you things, too. The frame for the game is entertaining--the house, the neighbor, the car keys--all of it.

I am so addicted to this game, I've been playing it for months (I have over $1m) and can't stop! AND my 5-yo loves it too, she tends to my Zen garden between puzzle games (and likes to play chasey around the house groaning "brrrraaaaaaiiins!!") It's EASILY the best game I've seen for a LONG time - the graphics are great to look at, the characters & sound effects are fun and funny, the music is actually quite enjoyable - to all! LOVE IT, want more!! :)

I played it several times and loved it. Made it to flag 20 in the endless battle.
| Added on: June 12, 2009
This game is great! I didn't realize how many mini games and survival modes there were when i started. They can affect your main game by providing you with more money to buy more items.
| Added on: October 16, 2009
This game was better than I expected. Just loved the Elvis Zommbies
| Added on: September 7, 2010
I love games other than puzzle, hidden object, and time management, so this was definitely a game I enjoyed playing. Using different plant weapons is one of the things I liked best about the game. The Zen Garden is cool although I only have two plants, but when the plants get bigger, you get more coins to buy more things. I would recommend this game to everyone.
| Added on: August 24, 2010
I absolutely loved this game! I found myself not able to stop playing it. I played the whole game through in 2 days. I was so bummed there weren't anymore levels but then there are great mini-games and puzzles! Even after you beat the game, there are still lots of things to do like manage your Zen garden. I would definitely recommend trying this game out!
| Added on: May 20, 2010
Get ready to visit your physical therapist for carpal tunnel syndrome, because once you start playing p vs z , you won't be able to stop. Great reward for you after the end of adventure mode too!
| Added on: June 9, 2009
With all of the clever mini-games and puzzles, I've kept playing this game long after beating it the first time. There are so many things to unlock and discover. It's one of the best games I've bought.
| Added on: January 6, 2010
It looks & sounds funny, but is very thought-provoking too. I LOVE the cool plant weapons & after getting my brains eaten I enjoy taking time to "logic" out which ones would work better. (My favorite weapon of choice is the corn-pult!) (My most hated level is the roof.) The fact that you have to use extreme logic on such a quirky, bizarre game makes it the best I've ever played. I am HAPPILY ADDICTED!!!
| Added on: June 26, 2009
I haven't played such an original game in a long time. You have to strategize and react quickly in this fast-paced fun-fest. I especially enjoy the unlimited Zombie levels; if you clear one, you move on to another more-challenging level. The plants and zombies are fun to look at, each with a unique ability. There's nothing like smashing zombies to uplift your day! I can't stop playing this game!
| Added on: October 13, 2011
This game was originally purchasedfor my son with great reluctance. I then tried the game and he rarely gets a look in. I have had my brain eaten to many times to count but I keep coming back for more!!!!
| Added on: January 6, 2011
I am usually a hidden object or puzzle player, but this arcade game is a real winner. The vast assortment of plants and zombies are interesting and amusing. Picking your plant army to defend aginst different groups of zombies makes for a fun challenge. This game keeps your mind and fingers going and will bring you back to the game time and time again.
| Added on: August 17, 2010
There is nothing I don't love about this game! Its fun, great animation, lots to do, and keeps you on your toes!
| Added on: October 23, 2009
When I first heard about this game, I thought it sounded just plain weird. However, when the game was finally released, I downloaded and played it, and I was hooked. It was definitely different, and despite its straightforward simplicity in gameplay, there was still an element of skill and thought required. I enjoyed this game and would recommend it to any who like time management style games.
| Added on: October 23, 2009
I couldn't stop playing. Lots of fun. You do have to decide ahead of time what tools to use. The mini-games and puzzles are great, an added bonus. I was a little disappointed that the main game wasn't longer.
| Added on: October 19, 2009
I heard all the hype and didn't want to play it at all. I thought the premise was silly and now I am addicted! Don't judge it by it's title it is a great game!
| Added on: February 12, 2014
This game is so much fun. I love the mini games the most. Creating my own zombie and seeing it in the game is an added treat. I can also save it, and make it an avatar for other games. I hope they make a part 2.
| Added on: May 27, 2009
This game is fun and funny. Just when you think you have seen all the game has to offer it keeps on giving. It doesn't get boring just better. I truely hope to see lots more games like this on.
| Added on: July 2, 2010
This is a five-star game for the whole family; the kids will love it! I have owned this game for a year now, and STILL enjoy playing it; it is that varied. It is an onslaught type of game, so you have to pay attention and adjust your strategy during the play. Even if you "lose" a round, no worries, go back and retry! Wonderful graphics, wonderful music, catchy theme song. Once a game starts, don't forget to type into your keyboard "future" or "tricked out" or "mustache" for some silly additions to the zombies! If you do not have a monthly credit , it is absolutely, 100% worth paying $6.99 and even more for. I cannot recommend this game enough for value. There's a zombie on your lawn!

Never really played tower defense games before PvZ, but once I tried it I HAD to buy it. I laugh on a very regular basis while playing this game, and Crazy Dave is just too awesome. Lots of variety in the plants and the zombies, and you really have to think about your best strategy for the zombies not to eat your plants... or your brains. The strategy changes on every single level too--what works on one level may not necessarily work on another one. This game is chock full of fun, cool stuff, and replayablility to the max. GET THIS GAME! NOW!!! :)

I bought this game for my 10 year old daughter. Of course she left it up one night when going to bed and I picked it up to shut down the computer. I started playing & have been hooked!! We both love it!!
| Added on: June 3, 2009
after playing only a demo, i fell in love with this game...! all the characters are so cute and charming...! even the zombies...! and i usually cannot stand background music for games but this one i loved it...! also the levels get more fun and entertaining without getting boring...! i'm sold...
| Added on: October 28, 2009
Not much I can add to the other reviews - an excellent game with huge replayability. The theme is cartoony enough that it doesn't bother my young daughter and she loves helping me pick the plants for each level and looking after the Zen Garden.

Wow, this game is completely amazing! I love it so much! It looks and sounds fantastic and it is so funny. I simply can't get tired of playing it!
| Added on: July 25, 2011
This tower defense game is unlike any other casual game I have ever played. The premise is that your neighborhood has been invaded by zombies. You must defend your home from being invaded by the incoming zombie army by planting different plants in your yard. The plants have different purposes, abilities, costs, and recharging rates. The zombies also have different properties, so you have to select your plants strategically. Usually, I find that once I have beaten a game, I don't have any desire to play the game anymore. I play Plants vs. Zombies over and over again. (I even have it on my phone.) I wish there were more games like this one.

My grandson got this one and I really didn't think I would like it, but the entire family is hooked on firing frozen peas at zombies now. The game teaches you how to play just in cause you've never done a time management type of game and than youre off. Each level more difficult than the last and each time you play it can be different depending on what plant you decide to use. No blood and gore here so perfect for the entire family, from my 3 year old grandson to my 16 year old (Loves it) to my 55 year old husband who can't wait to get home from work and unwind with a few rounds of Zombie killing. Funning sayings , A chance to do the "Thriller" dance along the way and than a BOSS ZOMBIE to take out. We have replayed this over and over again. You also get a chance to purchase Zen gardens to relax with your plants and earn extra money. This game is a hoot, well worth your $

cute, fun and challenging! worth the money! grafics are good and it is easy to figure out how to play. not too stressful but definatly addictive! good for most ages.

This is a game that my whole family has enjoyed playing. My husband is not a gamer, but he's the one that has enjoyed this thoroughly because it requires some gray matter to figure out how best to keep the zombies at bay. Of course, now with the death of Michael Jackson, the Thriller Zombie is even more funny.

I love my FunPass account because I don't like to buy games, but I would definitely buy this one. I've had hours of gameplay with it...playing the different modes, trying to get gold on every level in the hard mode...which I finally did, BTW. "Patting myself on the back" because it wasn't easy. If you like games where you have an extended period of time to complete your goals, and quests to accomplish while doing so, then you should like this one. I would suggest starting this game in easy mode so you can get the hang of it, and then working your way up. My only complaints are that the buildings that are abandoned can't be destroyed so you can build something else, and you can't save your game when you're in the middle of a level so you have to start over. The levels are long, so it can be frustrating. Not being able to save in the middle of a level is the only reason why I'm not giving this game 5 stars.

This is one of the best purchasing i have made in 5 years from gamehouse. I have replayed this game about 7 times. The thing is when you think you have won it and it tells the credits then you can replay again and it goes totally differrent. Love it, wish they would make part 2. The only thing is well, nothing I love it.

I bought this game when it first came out and I find that my attention and pleasure for this game hasn't let up yet. It is a very addictive game. I just can't give up as I am always trying to better my score. It is also a very competitive type game even if it only against yourself. One of many great games from gamehouse.... Lin S.

Best FunTicket I've even spent - TWICE! Me and the girlfriend played for a solid month (we're kinda competitive) to see who could complete all the achievements first and now we just continually try to beat each other's endless scores. As for my belief that making "dance" available at 500 feet was mean-spirited by the programmers....I'm now happily popping the heads off of the boogieing undead in eager anticipation of the next festive reward for my obsession.

This is one of my all time favourites! I have played it a zillion times with different strategies and the outcome is almost never the same. There are so many different ways of killing the zombies that I sometimes just sit there and try every single possibility! Towards the end it gets very challenging and I love the many mini games as well. Wish there were more games like this! Congratulations to the creators!
| Added on: June 4, 2010
I love zombie movies, so naturally I had to try this. I was instantly hooked! At first you think, well, this should be easy. And it kind of is. What I like about it is you have to have a strategy, you can't just go in without a game plan. Plus the sounds and effects are so funny. Definitely give this a try! Once you unlock the mini games and puzzles you'll have more fun with an aquarium (kind of like insaniquarium), I, zombie mode, Survival modes and your gardens! Never boring!

I love zombies now because of this game. This is so refreshing in comparison to most of what's out there. It's fun, hilarious, and challenging. There's so many different types of zombies that it's outrageous. This game is so crazy and over the top at times, but it's brilliant! I loved it. It does require some strategy, but once you get the hang of it and find you groove it's addicting.

I love this game, it makes me laugh when I lose. I liked it so much I suggested it to my grandson who is 8. I really only like time management games and this is one of the most innovative in quite a while.
| Added on: November 2, 2009
This was a very interesting game, something that a kid would like to play. The game was relaxed and easy. This wouldn't be a game for gown-ups to play. This game doesn't have enough action to it that would keep a adult busy. It would probably be a good value for a child.
| Added on: August 27, 2010
This game is so awesome. I bought the game in a store and played through it about a year ago. The game of the year edition has awesome new stuff and I have found myself playing through the game again.

Plants vs. Zombies is the most original, inventive, and inspirational game since the 1980's when Doom made the PC a viable gaming platform. Hats off to Popcap Games for creating my #1 pick for the best casual game ever made. Parents, no need to worry about zombies as it's all cartoon violence.
| Added on: December 5, 2011
I would have never thought that defending your lawn from zombies would become so addicting! At first glance, I did not think I would enjoy this game. Now, I create user names just to enjoy the game from the start! I do have a problem with the game but for those who are not into spoilers, I won't say what that problem is! Overall, this game is one of the most addicting games aside from The Sims!
| Added on: October 29, 2009
It's a lot of fun to play. It's your basic tower defense game, with amazing graphics and easy to learn. After you beat all the set levels, there are a bunch of puzzle games that you can play through. For the people that love a challenge and don't like rebuilding after every level, there is a survival endless. This is challenging to get very far on, and it just keeps getting harder. It's very family friendly and worth it to buy.

I really did not expect to like this game but figured I would give it a try because of other reviews. Once I played it, I was hooked!!! It is soooo much fun and keeps your interest by giving you news ways to attack to zombies. I can't wait to get to some of the higher levels. This game was worth the purchase and I look forward to playing it over and over again!!!
| Added on: May 27, 2009
This game is very addictive but it will not let you save your current level when you want to quit. For example, I was at level 5-4 and exited the game. It told me that my current level would be saved. When I opened it back up again, I was taken to level 2-3 that I did days ago!!! Tired of playing the same levels over and over again!!!
| Added on: June 30, 2010
Oh, my gosh, this game is so addictive. Next to Monster Mash, I think it's my favourite Gamehouse game. I did the one hour trial, then bought the game on a $6.99 special. It is worth every penny. At first, I thought the Adventure part was too short. I figured I would do it over, again, and try some different strategies. Well, to my surprise, it continued from the end of my first go-through, which is where I am, at this time. The Mini-Games and Puzzles are excellent, also. Just buy it.

You are constantly having to be on your toes and think with this game. It was both fun for me and my children to figure out how to stay ahead of the zombies. The zombies were more cute and funny than scary to us.
| Added on: October 20, 2009
I give this one five stars on all aspects! I honestly didn't think I was going to like it, but by the time the free trial was over I was hooked and had to buy it. It starts out pretty easy but does get harder. Even though it may not get extremely difficult it doesn't get any less fun! I like the humor, especiall Crazy Dave, my kids laugh so hard at him and the different zombies. Definitely kid-friendly but adults will love it just as much. The minute games and survival gives you a variety of ways to play so you can enjoy them over and over. Also you never really get the same game twice so for just a few dollars you have a great game that will last you a really long time. You MUST try this game!

This was a surprisingly fun game. I thought it was going to be too easy, but it was quite challenging on some levels and even my 4 year-old was enjoying this. He kept telling me to 'get the zombies' and even he played a few games. It has many mini games to keep you interested. My only gripe was the Zombinator did not always accept the clothing I chose for my zombies. Other than that, no complaints and I would recommend this game.

Game is very entertaining. Challenging at times but not too hard so that u are too frustrated. Makes me laugh. Wish there were more levels. But i do enjoy the survival mode your get once you complete the game. My daughter shut off the sounds because the brain eating sounds are a little spooky. The end only took 3 times to get thru. I would recommend
| Added on: October 28, 2011
The game looked easy enough, and the early levels are, but the zombies get hungrier as you go. There is a nice variety of of mini-games, puzzles, and survival mode along with the main gameplay, so it keeps your interest. After finishing the main gameplay, play again - it gets harder.
| Added on: April 26, 2010

This is a good game to play and to come back to. Though, I think it is a bit easy and doesn't get difficult right around the end of the game, perhaps there could have been a level adjuster. Also, its a bit slow, maybe a speed adjuster. I like how there's all the mini games and the puzzle mode, some of them can get pretty hard. I graphic is good, and the characters are very cute. but if you play too long everything starts to move!. All in all, its is definitely worth the price :)

I absolutely LOVE this game. The graphics are great. The characters are great! I love that the zombies say: "Brains" over and over. The levels get more challenging, even the second time through playing the whole game. I am also obsessed with getting the Tree of Wisdom to the top and getting all the bits of wisdom out of it. This was worth the money and then some!

Can't really say much more than the other reviewers, but this game is great fun. The replay value is very high. The graphics are wonderful, and the game is hilarious! It's certainly family friendly, and poses enough of a challenge for even the hardcore gamer. I'd recommend this to anyone.

Best game of this genre I've ever played. Along with the standard game are mini-games, puzzles, and survival modes that make this a lot of game for the price. After you finish the adventure mode you can play again with the system choosing three of your plant options for you which adds additional difficulty by limiting your choices.

I don't usually like games like this, but I enjoyed this one a lot - it's pretty easy to see why this was chosen as game of the year. It's challenging enough, fun to play, amusing, very cute and my husband likes it even more than I do. We found it a good value, since we both enjoy playing it.
| Added on: August 11, 2010
Not a serious game, but that's what makes it fun and relaxing. The name says it all. Plants defend your house from the zombies, and the lawn mowers are the last line of defense. The zombies might be yucky for some players and children.

Great game, keeps my 12 year old entertained. If you use the cheats you can put sunglasses and mustaches on the zombies too.

Thank you, creators of this fun and challenging game! I love its humor, its many game modes. I feel it's the best game of this genre since the wonderful, original version of ***sigh*** the late, great "Lemmings." I look forward to the introduction of "Plants vs. Zombies II."
| Added on: June 9, 2009
Like earlier reviewers said, I fell in love after 10 minutes on the demo. It is so much fun. It's just difficult enough to keep your attention but not so difficult that it loses its charm. Characters are adorable. Even once you've "won" the game, it just keeps getting better with mini games and puzzles that can be replayed and replayed. So original, I highly recommend it.

This game is one of my favorites. The amount of things one can do keeps you coming back for more. It's funny, charming, and keep my step daughters (ages 6 and 9) out of my hair when i'm watching them. That is when there not fighting over it.

A novel gameplay idea involving the defense of your house from invading zombies, using plants in your garden. The game was fun at first, and had some addictive qualities, but it couldn't hold my attention for long. It would be a great game to introduce kids to resource management and realtime strategy. Seasoned gamers may find it gets old quickly. Graphics are rather good, but there is a lot of screen tearing.

Just did the demo of this game and immediately purchased. This game is hilarious! I bought the "Game of the Year" edition, which has a design-your-own-zombie feature, which it then gives you as wallpaper but I was cracking up when "my zombie" started showing up in the hordes to attack me. He's kind of a Mexican looking old man - translation is pretty funny in zombie land. Wasn't sure what to expect from this game but I have heard nothing but great things about it, it has won tons of awards, etc. The gameplay is very unique - you basically are defending your home against hoardes of various zombies that are approaching. There are many different types of zombies (one does the polevault over traps you have set up), there's an old man with a newspaper zombie who is slow until his newspaper is gone then he's eating everything in sight, lol, zombies with metal buckets on their head that are much more durable, zombies with traffic cones - semi-harder - and this is all within the demo time. I can hardly wait to see what else turns up in higher levels. There was one mini game - bowling for zombies! lol I wasn't sure this game was going to be my type which is why I held off trying it for a long time but once you get playing, it's a fantastic game. It's also not a game that relies on reflexes (which I was afraid of) as much as strategic moves. Great game - I ended up purchasing it.

Very very great game! Not many games this style pull me in and keep me there, this one did till the end! The zomabatar creator was cool, instead of the regular flag zombie appearing, the one you created appears instead. The game gets challenging Especially at the later pool levels, and the later roof levels. The final boss isn't to hard, once you figure out what to do. I highly recommend this game! Play it if you have the time.

Plants Vs. Zombies is one of my favorite games of all time. It's simple yet addicting, and fun yet challenging. The concept is easy to understand: place murderous plants on your lawn and defend it from the masses of zombies descending on your house. As you progress, the levels require a bit of strategy usage. You can choose which plants you'd like to use, and place them according to their abilities. You'll meet several different types of zombies, some of which are harder to defeat than others. It's a cute spin on the zombie craze, and is truly an awesome game. I highly recommend it.

Plants vs. Zombies is one of my favorite fun games. It has a bit of everything. Some strategy and time management skills are useful, but it's not too difficult for kids, but it is still challenging enough to entertain adults.
| Added on: September 4, 2012
Plants Vs. Zombies is an amazing game for all ages. The game is based at a house right next to a cemetery, and the zombies are hungry for brains, brains, brains! The only way to keep the zombies away is by planting plants which attack the zombies. Some plants give you sun, so you can plant more plants, others shoot peas, toss cabbage or corn and butter, and some will block the zombies from proceeding. Night levels introduce mushrooms which attack zombies and use little sun. The next door neighbor sells upgrades out of his truck, for more fun options and gameplay. The end of the game introduces mini games and a zen garden, to keep you occupied for hours. I downloaded this game, and i was instantly addicted. At first, i thought it was childish, but after playing a few levels, i was proved wrong. The game requires you to think of what plant to plant in a certain location, to defeat the zombies. Some Zombies have a higher resistance level then other and take longer to defeat. Strategy is important in defeating these zombies. I bought this game and I still play it, it's very replayable and never gets boring. I would recommend this game to all, child, or adult. You will enjoy the great cell shaded graphics, and the amazing and addicting game play.

Great game that keeps on giving. Once you've completed the game there are tons of mini games, puzzles and a zen garden to keep watch over. Plus when you replay the game, there is another added feature. Love that it keeps adding things even after the game has ended. This is a game that I will always come back to, worth the $!!!!
| Added on: August 17, 2010
I don't think I could ever tire of this game. Everything about it is fun. It's funny, and super innovative. The more you play, the more mini games, puzzles and more keep opening up... some of which are quite addictive! The player is given a lot of options in which to personalize it more than any other game I've ever played. Just when you think you've seen/played the game, more and more is to be discovered! If there were 10 stars possible, I would give them all to Plants Vs. Zombies.

Downtown Cincinnati Inc. is launching an effort to decrease panhandling while maintaining or increasing support to social services. DCI president David Ginsburg says the group is publicizing agencies that try to get to the root of poverty.
WVXU politics reporter Howard Wilkinson talked with Maryanne Zeleznik this morning about Cincinnati council member P.G. Sittenfeld's bid for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in 2016. Does Sittenfeld have a chance win the nomination and unseat GOP incumbent Rob Portman?
University of Cincinnati biomedical engineers, neurologists and Mayfield Clinic brain surgeons are in the process of creating a sound map for the abnormal brain.
Deep inside the head, groups of neurons make sounds. The doctors will use the sounds to figure out what the problem areas are and how to better treat abnormalities in the brain.
To almost no one's surprise, Cincinnati council member P.G. Sittenfeld announced this week that he is running for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination, with the hopes of knocking off incumbent Republican Rob Portman in November 2016.
Sittenfeld is an ambitious young man; and, especially in politics, there is nothing wrong with that. He had been dropping hints that he was considering jumping into the Senate race for weeks; and people on both sides of the aisle were taking him seriously.
December home sales in the Cincinnati area were up from a year ago, but not by much.
The Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors reports 1,616 sales last month, compared with 1,608 in December 2013. Northern Kentucky Realtors say their gain was similar: 397 sales in December of 2014, and 388 in December 2013.
However, total sales for 2014 are different for the two sides of the river. In Ohio, there was a drop in sales of 1.7 percent , while Northern Kentucky sales grew by 1.84 percent.
Realtors from both groups are optimistic though.

Interesting, I have never heard of tea puzzles. You put so much time into your blog and provide so much information to us, for that I thank you. I am hoping you will get a chance to visit my cottage too and when you do, I would sincerely appreciate it if you would sign up as a follower and place a link to my site on yours (I have done so already). I am new at the blogging world and would very much like to expand my followers so that I can share with you all my love of England and tea.
Many thanks and hope to you hear from you.
I am puzzled about why you think we would like these? (Kidding!) These are great, and I'd love to have them all! There is a teapot puzzle at my B&N but I have so far refrained from buying it. But I do keep picking it up ... puzzling, isn't it? (Sorry!)

One Direction's fans go 'crazy crazy crazy' for the world's biggest boy band in the Big Apple... as 18,000 fans watch them perform
After one of the biggest premiere's London's Leicester Square has ever seen, One Direction had just a couple days respite before the screaming started again.
The world's most popular boy band performed on the Today show Friday morning and their 'Directioners' were as usual out in full force.
Scroll down for video
Close contact: A fan gets her hand on her idol Harry Styles as One Direction perform on the Today Show in New York on Friday
They're going crazy: The fans clamour around the fab five as they perform their hits
Loving it: Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson of One Direction pose for yet another group snap
According to Today, the NYPD estimated as many as18,000 Directioners gathered around Rockefeller Center, completing filling two New York City blocks outside the show's studios.
The show's weatherman Al Roker confirmed: 'It seems to me this is the biggest crowd we've ever had.'
The boys had tried and failed to sneak into the city via New Jersey's more low key Newark airport.
However, when the biggest boyband in the world attempts to do the same, their fans well and truly have them sussed.
Monkeying about: One Direction's Harry Styles messes with the fans
America's sweetheart: Niall Horan is said to be the most popular member of the Brit boy band
The boys are back in town: Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik were hanging tough on the TODAY stage
Energetic: The boys turned in a memorable performance at the Rockefeller Centre in New York City
Arriving in the U.S. on Thursday night ahead of their concert the following day, the One Direction boys didn't stand a chance and were promptly mobbed by their adoring fans.
Harry Styles, the band's undisputed heartthrob, looked effortlessly stylish in his usual attire of faded black jeans, white T-shirt, brown boots and black peacoat.
Sporting a golden tan and with his brown hair in a messy, unkempt 'do, the singer appeared tired and nervously ran his hands through his hair when he didn't have them in his jacket pockets.
His expression changed to one of sheer horror when he was accosted by an older fan brandishing a placard that read, 'I'm 79 and I love 1D'.
Rousing: Niall Horan strums the guitar as One Direction perform a live version of Little Things
Luck of the Irish: Niall performs for thousands of fans at the Today show in New York City on Friday
The hand-painted sign went on to urge Harry to call her, stating that 'my husband doesn't mind'.
Fellow bandmate Liam Payne appeared bleary-eyed as he disembarked from the flight.
Dressed in an all-black ensemble of jeans, Adidas hoodie, sneakers and backwards baseball cap, he sported a smattering of facial hair as he walked through the airport with security.
A quiet word: Liam Louis only have eyes for each other during this brief exchange on Friday
Having words: Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson appeared to be having a serious conversation between songs on Friday
Man of the moment: Harry Styles greets his adoring fans
Irish lad Niall Horan looked ready to hit the gym as he arrived in grey Adidas short, white Nike sneakers and a black and white Stussy jumper.
He also wore a baseball cap and carried a camouflage backpack as he made his way to their car.
With the group set to play a free live concert on the Today Show on Friday in Rockefeller Plaza, Niall tweeted his excitement as they touched down.
'back in NYC ! Can't wait t do today show in the morning for the third time! Thanks for having us back ! It's been a huge week ! Sleepy time.'
Crazy scenes: Today cameras film the pandemonium as One Direction perform in New York City
Snap happy: Harry is clearly delighted to be back on stage with the boys following a mini-break in London this week
It's good to be back: Thousands gathered to watch One Direction perform in New York City on Friday
He also made mention of the fact that he was paid a welcome visit by voice doctor to the stars Dr Scott Kessler, who has tended to the vocal chords of some of the best in the business - including Madonna and Mariah Carey.
'Cheers dr Kessler for comin over t see me! That guy has been saving vocal chords since 2011! Legend in the game,' he wrote.
Meanwhile, Louis Tomlinson was accompanied by longtime girlfriend Eleanor Calder on the international trip.
Insane: Fans go wild for One Direction in New York City on Thursday
Crowd pleaser: Fans try to take a photo of Harry Styles as he performs with his One Direction band-mates
Hero worship: Everyone wants a piece of the band during their performance on Today
The two walked through the terminal hand-in-hand in near matching outfits featuring black pants and shoes and grey tops.
Louis added a dark grey sweatshirt to his look, wearing the hood up.
Newly-engaged star Zayn Malik, who popped the question to Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards last weekend, managed to avoid the lenses.
Cougar alert! Nineteen-year-old Harry didn't look too impressed by the 79-year-old grandmother who declared her love for the star
Overwhelmed: The star appeared nervous at the hoards of fans, running his hand through his hair with a pained expression on his face
Meanwhile, fans have been camping out for days to ensure they get a glimpse of their idols when they hit the stage on Friday.
Hundreds of mostly young girls - and their patient parents - have lined the streets of New York since as early as Monday.
Stretching out sleeping bags, chairs and blankets on the hard pavement, the die-hard fans have taken over as many as five blocks as they camp out in the sweltering heat and unseasonal downpours.
Early birds! Eager 1D fans have been lining the streets of New York City for as many as five days ahead of the band's Friday concert in Rockefeller Plaza
Mob scene: Police tape was put up to cordon off the street as fans crowded the pavement and spilled out onto the busy roads
Up on stage the band looked cool as they performed latest single Best Song Ever at Rockefeller Plaza, as well as previous hits What makes You Beautiful, Kiss You and the Ed Sheeran penned ballad Little Things.
At one point Niall played the electric guitar while the rest of the lads jumped around the stage before warmly greeting the fans who were fortunate enough to get front-row seats.
their performance bringing the streets around the Today show studios to a
standstill, the band talked about the imminent release of their new
fly-on-the-wall documentary film One Direction: This is Us.
The forthcoming film – directed by American Morgan Spurlock – documents the band's incredible rise to prominence since finding fame on The X Factor in 2011, with the boys offering cameramen unique access into the private lives as they tour the world.
Shy: Louis Tomlinson protectively held the hand of longtime girlfriend Eleanor Calder
Walk this way: Harry cut a chic figure in his favourite faded black jeans, brown boots, white T-shirt and warm black peacoat
A disheveled-looking Liam seemed oblivious to eager fans as he disembarked from the flight clad in an all-black outfit of jeans, sneakers, Adidas hoodie and backwards baseball cap
Speaking on Friday, Harry admitted that the film will give anxious fans the opportunity to 'learn a lot' about the band.
the interview there was a moment of madness when host Savannah Guthrie
got Liam Payne confused with newly engaged Zayn Malik.
has some news…' she said, before attempting to recover from the error
by adding: 'Who just got engaged? I was just testing the crowd to see if
they knew.'
But the gaffes didn't stop there, with Guthrie aiming her final question at Louis Tomlinson – who she referred to as 'Liam.'
the show she tweeted: 'Fave #1D member now @Louis_Tomlinson - for being
so gracious when I messed up his name #classact - #coldmedicine must be
messing with me!'

2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 SLT 4dr Quad Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 6M)
Just bought my dream truck, after 14 years of waiting. The truck was priced cheaper in dollar terms, than what it would have cost me to purchase in 1998, when I commissioned in the Army (30k v. 33k). Glad I got the 6.7, it has been great, so far (averaging 19 mpg, lots of HP and torque). A little bit less miles per gallon than the 5.9, but with a few upgrades (Royal Purple synthetic oil increased 1-2 mpg, and hoping Banks air kit increases another 2 mpg), hoping to catch the 5.9. Also, went with quad-cab SB, not mega, as turn radius and parking were so much better. Lots of power, and manual transmission and jake brake novelty haven't worn off (4000 miles on truck).

2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Laramie 4dr Quad Cab SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)
Bought this vehicle new, it is my 5th diesel. Just dropped it off third time dealing with engine hesitation. Finally got a straight answer from service tech. Stating that the 6.7 diesel has had major problems after 12,000 plus miles. Define major? Well my truck is having soot build up in the exhaust and to fix the problem it is costing Dodge $5000.00 to the factory, $10,000 to the end user if it wasn't under warranty. They don't idle well at all. In Dodge's rush to get this to the market they screwed up. I was reassured that it has a 100,000 mile warranty. Wow that makes me feel great I Wonder what the resale value will be on this once word gets out. What's lower than free?

2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Laramie 4dr Mega Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)
Have owned the truck for 2+ months so far and love it! Have the 6.7 L Cummins Turbo Diesel. With only 3500 miles so far I was getting 18-19 Hwy Mpg on a recent vacation trip. I expect to do much better once the engine is broken in. The exhaust brake is awesome and a big help when pulling a trailer in mountainous terrain. MegaCab provides roomy comfort for the entire family. Four Wheel drive in the sand at Cape Hatteras was no problem at all. I found that the slightly stiffer ride on the road really paid off when the wheels left the pavement. It handled the bumps off road with ease and gave excellent off road performance. btw - The stiffer ride goes away with a trailer or payload too.

2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Laramie 4dr Quad Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)
With 8 check engine lights and a diesel exhaust odor that comes from the vents with the AC/Heater on when the truck comes top a stop. A total of nine trips to the dealer for repairs. I would not advise any one to purchase a Dodge Ram with the new 6.7 Liter Cummins Engine. I now have to hire a lawyer(Lemon Law) to have this truck bought back because Chrysler will not work with me on a vehicle swap. Other than that its a good truck, fun to drive and built solid. But how Chrysler has treated me after owning 4 other Dodge trucks. I will be going to buy a GM truck after this one is bought back.

2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 ST 4dr Quad Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 6M)
My wife and I just got back from a 10 year anniversary trip to Kauai, Hawaii and were put into a 2008 Toyota Corolla rental car. First we were surprised by the fuel efficiency but when we returned home to our 2008 Dodge Ram hemi we realized that there was no comparison in the overall value. The comfort and utility was such a contrast to what we had rented that we both were very grateful we had made the right decision for our active family of four. Everywhere we drive we get nods of approval and our truck has gotten us safely through rugged Lake Tahoe winters and roads that the little Corolla couldn�t dream of.

2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 SXT 4dr Mega Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)
This too is my 6th Dodge truck and second turbo diesel in last 15 years. I trade a perfectly good 2005 2500 Diesel 4WD truck for this one for one reason, THE SPACE IN THE BACK SEAT. And I haven't been disappointed in that area, megacab is awesome. But this is the only good thing about this truck. I have had nothing but problems with the "check engine" sensor going off constantly. I have put 18,000 miles on this truck in 6 months and in that time I have had it in service at least 12 times for the same thing. An O2 sensor had to be replaced before I ever took it off lot. I have also had numerous service calls on the tire inflation sensor. Could be great truck. Anyone else having this?

2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 ST 2dr Regular Cab LB (5.7L 8cyl 6M)
The truck would be great if the new emissions regulations would not be causing so much trouble. Second time in 4 months the turbo needs replacing and seems every other month having to have it cleaned. When pulling a load shifts very hard. Also, since having trouble with the emissions, was told by dealership had to run with exhaust brake so now have to turn that on every time start the truck, should be automatic.

2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 ST 4dr Quad Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 6M)
This is my 5th Dodge truck, and 2nd diesel. The driveablity of this truck is fantastic, power is awesome, comfort is great for a HD truck. Haven't towed too much with it yet, but it does well there with plenty of power. The Major Letdown of this truck is the fuel economy. I get 10 around town and 13 on the highway at 75 MPH. And this is with the 3.73 gears. Other 6.7 owners I know have had the same experience.

2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Laramie 4dr Mega Cab SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)
I bought the 2008 Dodge 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins Diesel. After test driving the Chevy and Ford the decision on what type of truck to buy was easy. Dodge all the way! I tow a 27' boat that weighs 9500 lbs and it tows with ease. The mega cab is a must. What a difference, especially if you have passengers. The gas mileage is decent and keeps improving. I would suggest this vehicle to anyone who wants to buy a truck,

2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 SLT 4dr Quad Cab 4WD LB (5.7L 8cyl 6M)
Only 2500 miles on this truck so far, so things may change. Very quiet for a diesel, very powerful and turbo spools very quickly. Ride quality poor relative to competitors, still is pretty quiet. 6-Speed manual is not very smooth shifting, and takes a while to get used to. Interior design pretty good in my eyes, not a lot of wasted space and the rear fold-flat floor a great idea. So far fuel mileage is not great (14 mpg) but I've been pulling a light (4,000 lbs) trailer for half of the mileage. The Cummins engine is what sold me on this truck and I hope it proves to be a good decision. he Ford may be a worthy competitor though.

Marvin Sylvor
Marvin Sylvor (April 21, 1933 – April 9, 2008) was an American carousel and merry-go-round designer and artist. Sylvor has designed more the sixty carousels worldwide including Bryant Park in New York City, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Singapore and other parts of the United States.[1]
Early life[edit]
Sylvor was raised in the Bronx and grew up on the corner of 165th Street and Jerome Avenue, which is located near Yankee Stadium.[1] He and his father, a sign painter, would vacation in the Rockaways every year. Each year Sylvor would ask to ride a carousel which they would pass near Marine Park Bridge on the way to their vacation. Sylvor's father, who he described as always in a hurry to get to their vacation destination, always refused to stop for the carousel ride.[1] Sylvor later told the New York Times in a 2002 interview why his father never stopped, "He was a man on a mission to get to the Rockaways."[1]
Sylvor graduated from William Howard Taft High School in the South Bronx and then enlisted in the United States Army.[1] While he was stationed as an Army private at the Schofield Barracks in Hawaii during the 1950s. A lieutenant asked the privates in attention if any of them were artists. Sylvor was selected from the group because he said was the only man who actually had his paint brushes with him, which was a lie.[1] Truthfully, Sylvor was an untrained artist who did not have brushes with him.[1] He had to sneak off the base to buy some from civilian stores.[1] However, Sylvor successfully managed to decorate the officers' club for a party and was soon commissioned for a series of other Army painting jobs around the base.[1]
Sylvor went on to receive his degree from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn in 1958.[1] He founded a window display and decorating business, called Fabricon, following his graduation.[1] His business was successful and he was hired to design displays for a number of well known clients including Bloomingdale's, Henri Bendel and the Vatican Pavilion of the 1964 New York World's Fair in Queens.[1] He joined the National Carousel Association around the same time period as the 1964 World's Fair and began traveling to NCA conventions around the country.[1] He initially had little experience building carousels and had to hire outside experts to help with construction.[1] However, the carousels soon gave his business more work than window designing.[1]
Sylvor built all of his carousels in the Fabricon factory in East New York, Brooklyn.[1] He kept an inventory of approximately 100 horses and what the carousel industry calls "menagerie creatures" at the factory.[1] He specialized in unusual animals for his carousels, such as frogs or birds. His favorite figures are called "jumpers," which are carousel animals which move up and down.[1]
He retired from the full-time business in 2005.[1]
Marvin Sylvor died of kidney failure in Miami, on April 9, 2008, at the age of 75.[1] He was survived by his wife, Julia, son, Chris, daughter, Aimee and two grandchildren.[1]

Ten years after issuing a damning report on the intelligence failures leading up to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the 9/11 Commission has warned of parallel U.S. vulnerabilities in cybersecurity.
"One lesson of the 9/11 story is that, as a nation, Americans did not awaken to the gravity of the terrorist threat until it was too late. History may be repeating itself in the cyber realm," said the July 22 report.
The commission, headed by former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean, a Republican, and former Indiana Rep. Lee Hamilton, a Democrat, reconvened to reflect on how U.S. security interests have shifted over the last decade.
Cyber threats have since multiplied with advances in IT, and a comprehensive assessment of the nation's cyber-readiness was beyond the scope of the report. The document instead touched on the growing nexus between terrorism and cybersecurity, the American public's supposed lack of awareness of cyber threats, and the need for "comprehensive" legislation from Congress – a point on which the Obama administration has demurred. A senior White House official told FCW recently that addressing issues like data breaches and information sharing in separate legislation is more effective than Congress trying to pass a comprehensive bill.
The report called on Congress to pass legislation that encourages private firms and federal officials to share cyber-threat information while protecting those firms from liability for doing so. The Senate Intelligence Committee on July 8 approved a bill that would do just that.
Executive-branch agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI would be wise to "complement, rather than replicate" the National Security Agency's technical capabilities in cyberspace, the report advised.
The 9/11 Commission's assessment also held up alleged Chinese economic espionage as an opportunity to boost slack public awareness or appreciation of cyber threats. If the Obama administration and Congress harp on job losses and other economic ills caused by intellectual property theft, the report said, Americans "will support the measures needed to counter the cyber threat."
