I've been looking forward to this kind of game for a long time.

Pre-purchase now on steam, and you'll get a free copy of Heavy Weapon Deluxe.

I saw this too, and I'm kind of interested. I'm not entirely sure what the game actually it, but I've loved everything the PopCap Games guys have been doing so I'm almost about to buy the game on that fact alone.

Plus, who wouldn't buy a game featuring zombies! Being attacked by killer plants!

It seems like a tower defense game, only the towers are plants and the enemies are zombies. I pre-ordered it on Steam, and I look forward to playing it.

I read an interview or preview, or something about it recently, but I can't recall where. The preceding sentence might be the most helpful in GWJ history.

Bloons Tower Defense was my first entry into the whole tower defense genre. I had a great time with it while sitting in class, not paying attention to the teacher in college. There's plenty of other tower defense games out there that are full retail releases, but I don't like the "grittier" look to those games. I was thinking about picking up Final Fantasy Crystal Defenders, but heard that game wasn't so good.

They managed to make zombies look CUTE in this game!

There's no way this game could disappoint me. All I want out of it is a game I can play while listening to podcasts, with zombies. It's guaranteed to deliver there, and anything else will only be gravy.

Heavy Weapon's not bad for free, either. I wouldn't dream of paying ten dollars for it, though.

I didn't want the free game so didn't pre-order. I really want to jump into it tho-- I've been playing pop games for a long time, they make good casual stuff.

I just pre-ordered this game on a whim. I hope I made a good decision.

I've pre-ordered. Wanted a decent Tower Defense game, and this is cheaper and looks more charming than Defense Grid.

Heavy Weapon is a nice surprise for a non-shmup fan too.

I would pre-order except Steam's security won't let me use my credit card with my American billing address while I'm living here in Japan using a Japanese ip address. Stupid Steam trying to protect the integrity of my account.

My husband has the same problem. I have to buy the items as a gift and send them to him.

Watched the trailer, then immediately pre-ordered the game on Steam afterward. This looks way too hilarious to miss. The zombie bobsled team had me rolling

A tower defense game with all the polish and charm that goes along with Pop Cap games is sure to be good. Those guys really know what they're doing.

Holding off on buying it from steam. If you sign up for the zombie alert newsletters you are supposed to be able to get the game early and with a 10% discount.

Infinitely cool. Looks like PopCap has become one of those companies whose new releases everyone follows with abated breath. Good job.

One dollar cheaper and at most a day early (and counting down)? I'd rather have the convenience of Steam.

I'm waiting for the demo.

While being a closet pop cap games whore and the video was funny, I'm not so sure about the concept after looking at the screenshots.

I sucked at Pixeljunk Monsters and it frustrated me so I'm rather uncommitted on the Tower Defense genre.

I'm hearing that the PopCap price is $20, so $18 with the 10%. The Steam preorder was $10, so I think it's a matter of how much you're willing to pay to play tonight instead of tomorrow night.

Don't forget the free copy of Heavy Weapons Deluxe when you order on Steam.

Pixeljunk Monsters isn't the easiest game on earth (especially since you're hampered by movement speed). I would expect a PopCap game to be a bit more friendly (so says the person stuck on level 5 of Heavy Weapons Deluxe).
