Aaarrgh! I'm addicted to this zombie-killing game! For two days now, I slept at 3 am just so I could finish some levels. It presented itself to me as a harmless kiddie game, but, now I'm hooked. I hear its backrground music even as I sleep! Brains...brains...brains!!!! Can't get it off my mind. Do you know this game? Are there any games that have gotten you addicted?

I've got addicted to this game too. At first I thought it is a lousy game, never I expected that I'll get hooked. Like you I always slept at around 2 or 3 in the morning. I have also finished this game several times. I was also addicted with Harvest Moon before.

Yes, it looked so harmless. Like a game I'd spend a few minutes with and move on. But, it got me hooked right around the second hour of playing it. I'm looking forward to finishing it, but, with the heavy workload nowadays, I can't.

I am most definitely aware of Plants vs. Zombies. My sister downloaded it onto my husband's computer a little bit over a month ago and at first I thought that it was nothing but a silly little kids game. However, it wasn't long that my daughter was playing the game that I had to give it a try myself. That said, for about a week I was up for the better part of the night playing the game. It took me less than a week to beat the entire game.

LOL. Well, I couldn't be that addicted as to finish the game in a week. I'll drain my energy if that's the case. I didn't play last night because I really have to sleep. I've lost quality sleep for four days because of that game. It's just that the soundtrack music keeps ringing in my head during the day, before I sleep and even when I'm asleep! LOL.

Yea certainly, I've heard and played this game before but it doesn't get me addicted. This is a puzzle game and the graphics are in 2D, which may be the reason why. The games which get me addicted are those racing games and open world exploration which involves cars and something close to reality. One such example which got me seriously addicted is GTA 4. I can still recall the gameplay, even after uninstalling it. See that? Well now I only play Test Drive Unlimited and Microsoft's Flight Simulator X.

I'm not a hardcore player, but I do understand what you mean when you say you can still recall the gameplay even after uninstalling the game. There are really differences in preference, so I guess our addictions in games vary per person. Usually it is the boys who are into the racing games.

Hi! I've finished this game more than 5x already, lol, and I'm still playing it. I already have the gardens. I think it's really an awesome game.

Yes, it is awesome but I haven't finished the game yet. From the comments it makes me more excited to finish the game to the end.

I also experience that 'hearing the background music' stuff especially when I'm going to sleep. Sometimes it's sort of annoying because I can't get it out of my head. I also love this game! It's fairly easy yet challenging (especially the survival endless) since the puzzle games are quirky and fun. Brains~

Yup, it's definitely there embedded in our brains now (the soundtrack music). I guess that's what "ate our brain" LOL. It is a good way to destress because it's fairly easy.

I've just knew it, after founding it preinstalled on my notebook It's quite addicting too. I usually have such kinds of addiction with new games, I play them all the time, and after I leave them, playing from time to time.

Right, there is always something exciting about new games. I've been hearing about PVZ but haven't put much attention to it. Then, I asked my friend if I could play her game, and zoinks...I got addicted. Thanks for the response.

Lawl. You got the PvZ fever. Just like people here in my house except me. But i've been through that. Its just so good for a tower defense game and im quite a zombie fanatic to so i was hooked. But after finishing the game 3 times i got bored because im looking for more brains(epic zombie games). But every now and then i still play this game because it never fails to give me entertainment.

Right. Haha. It's so charmingly simple, but, everytime I play it, I lose track of time. It's sad. I have to sleep early tonight because it's work day tomorrow.

LOL... I was addicted to that game too but since I've already finished all the mini games, puzzle games and survival games the excitement was kinda gone now. I'm just now completing plants in my Zen Garden and buying other things. Be careful the zombies might eat your brain, plant more sun flowers and other plants to kill them. LOL... :)
