PopCap Hits Vol. 2 Coming 11th March 2011
This March PopCap Games will be, once again, feeding us with a collection of massively addictive games from their impressive game library. The new collected volume features great titles from the legendary game creators, including: Plants Vs. Zombies, Zuma, Heavy Weapon and Feeding Frenzy 2.
Mastertronic’s Product Director Neil McKenna said: “Surveys indicate millions of people are now playing casual games, with the majority playing online. The PopCap® Hits series groups together selections of great casual games and makes them available off the shelf as a boxed copy. With over 60% of gamers preferring physical copies of games rather than downloads, we’re delighted to make these great casual titles available on disc to buy in store and online.”
Some of the developer’s biggest games will be included in this bundle for your casual gaming needs. Just in case you’ve forgotten what each of the games are about, however, here’s a run down of what you can expect in March:
Plants Vs. Zombies is the ultimate in tower defence gameplay. A mob of brain-loving zombies is about to invade your home and your only defence is an arsenal of zombie-zapping plants. Use peashooters, wall-nuts, cherry bombs and more to destroy zombies before they reach your front door. With five different game modes to choose from, there’s hours of entertaining gameplay available. Plants Vs. Zombies is the fastest selling iPhone title of all time with 300,000 copies sold in the first nine days it was available on the App store. A cross-platform hit, Plants Vs. Zombies Xbox Live has a current review average of 89/100 on Metacritic.
Survive the ancient temple of Zuma in this fast-paced puzzle adventure. (Players are challenged to fire magical balls from their stone frog idol to make matches of three or more and clear a chain of balls before they reach the golden skull. Zuma is based on a simple gaming mechanic executed superbly and utilises a variety of pleasing visuals to deliver a compelling and entertaining puzzle game experience.
Unleash side-scrolling shoot ‘em up arcade action at its best with Heavy Weapon. Fight through 19 story-based missions to upgrade six different weapon banks, or jump into instant action in Survival mode. Or work with other players and storm across enemy lines to defeat bosses in co-operative multiplayer modes.
Play Feeding Frenzy 2 solo or with friends, dodge predators and eat your way up the food chain to save the sea in this sequel to ‘Feeding Frenzy’. The sequel features new fish and sixty new levels. Other features also include your fish now having the ability to jump out the water, giving you the ability to catch prey that will not see you coming.
PopCap Hits Vol. 2, will be released on Xbox 360 on 11th March 2011 at a “mid price point”.

By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.
I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!
I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.
Unless I run out of money, then we might have a problem.
