Inside Mac Games has posted a review of the new tower defense game from PopCap Games, Plants vs. Zombies. Use your gardening defenses to keep an ever advancing horde of the undead from entering your house and eating your brains! Here's and excerpt from the review:

When starting up each level, you need to balance your plants carefully. You can only carry with you seven plant types at first, eventually upgradable to 10 total. However, at least some of those plants will need to be sort of infrastructure plants. During the day you’ll need sunflowers to give you the sunshine that will be your currency for being able to grow more plants. At night you’ll need special mushrooms for the same. For the pool you’ll need lily pads for your plants to rest on. On the rooftops you’ll need pots for your plants. The more weapon-oriented plants are everything from peashooters, watermelon catapults, potato mines, exploding cherries and more. The Zombies you will battle against range from your standard shamblers, to zombies protected by buckets on their heads or screen doors in their hands. You’ll have football zombies, snorkel zombies, zombies driving zambonies, zombies attached to balloons and gargantuan zombies.
