Plants vs. Zombies

Plants vs. Zombies is a video game franchise created by George Fan. The series follows the affiliates of David "Crazy Dave" Blazing as they use his plants to defend against a zombie invasion, led by Dr. Edgar George Zomboss. The first game, Plants vs. Zombies (2009), was developed by PopCap Seattle and released by PopCap Games before being acquired by Electronic Arts (EA). After PopCap Games' acquisition, EA expanded the game into a franchise with games on many different platforms, including a comic book series written by Paul Tobin and published by Dark Horse Comics.

The series has a variety of game genres. The original game and its sequels Plants vs. Zombies Adventures, Plants vs. Zombies 2, and Plants vs. Zombies 3 are tower defense games where the player has to use plants with different abilities to defend their home against a zombie invasion. Developed by PopCap Vancouver, the spin-off Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and its sequels are third-person shooters where the player can play as either the plants or zombies in multiplayer mode (and beginning in Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, single player) matches. Plants vs. Zombies Heroes is a digital collectable card game with characters from previous installments. A remake of the original game, Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted, features upscaled graphics alongside new game-modes and features.
