Plants vs Zombies and Mass Effect Galaxy

Greetings, two games I have completed recently are on the Ipod touch they are Plants vs Zombies and Mass Effect Galaxy.

Plants vs Zombies is a very simple game from Popcap, where Zombies wish to eat the landowner's brain, to prevent them from doing this you plant a number of plants with special abilities depending on each type, to defend yourself. You can but items or more plants off Crazy Dave, an insane individual who helps you fight the Zombies.The levels will vary from your front lawn in day, then night, your back lawn with a pool in night and dark and the final stage, the roof. As the game continues the Zombies become more powerful, making it incredibly difficult at times. The only boss is the last one by the name of Dr Zomboss, who is one of the hardest enemies I have ever fought. This game is a fun one and would encourage you to play it, sometimes it doesn't recognize where your finger points, planting an ally in the wrong place but this is easy enough to overcome and is a minor problem. It is one of the games that shows that a plot isn't necessary to make a game.

Mass Effect Galaxy is set I think during the original Mass Effect game when Commander Shepard is still fighting Saren, this is a game by Bioware and follows the story of Jacob Taylor and Miranda Lawson. Some of the characters from this appear in Mass Effect 2 as part of the new squad, it will be reviewed at later stage. Jacob Taylor is an Ex-Alliance soldier who is brought into an affair of Batarian terrorists, a species of alien who wish to attack the Citadel and kill the council especially a Batarian Ambassador named Jath'Amon who wants to make peace with the Alliance. To execute their plan they make a virus and intend to spread it in the Citadel once the captured scientists make it and the vaccine for themselves. Miranda teams up with Jacob to stop the attack, the game is seen in bird's eye view which you get used to not long in. The game is very short and is animated which I quite liked as it give it a different feel, it is alright as a game as I never expected it to be up to the standards of the Mass Effect or its sequel and is enjoyable for a fan. The eleventh chapter of the War for Humankind is up in Warehouse 17.

I love Plants vs Zombies. One of the best casual games out there. A lot of hours have been spent on this game completing all of the modes of play and buying all items. Excellent game. I'd say the later fog levels are the hardest.

Glad you liked them both. Still can't beat PvZ on the PC as far as I'm concerned. Dunno if I'll bother with that Mass Effect one if I'm honest, I'll see after I finish 2

I thought the boss was the hardest level in the whole game, although there were some other tricky levels.

I too bought PvZ for the iPhone OS and it's a really great game, lots of ours spent defending my lawn. I thought the lightening level was actually the hardest the game thrown at me — took a few attempts.
