Plants vs Zombies is a modern classic in the tower defense genre, with its casual looks and unexpected tactical depth. Despite looking like (and being) a mobile game, it quickly found its way onto mainstream consoles as well and in 2014 we saw its first spin-off with Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare, blending modern team-based shooters with elements from the original Plants vs Zombies game.
