Plants vs. Zombies arrived from PopCap Games in 2009 and became one of the most charming strategy games ever made. Zombies are shambling across your lawn toward your house, and the only thing standing in their way is a garden of quirky defensive plants.
The Game of the Year Edition on Steam is the classic PC version with Adventure, Minigames, Puzzle and Survival modes, plus the Zen Garden. It is the version many players grew up with before the free to play sequels arrived on mobile.

Plants Vs. Zombies Gameplay Overview
You collect sun from Sunflowers and the sky, then spend it on plants placed in lanes across your lawn. Peashooters fire at zombies, Wall-nuts block them, Cherry Bombs explode and Snow Peas slow them down. Nearly every level adds a new plant or zombie, from Pole Vaulters and Bucketheads to Gargantuars, and the settings shift between day, night, pool, fog and rooftop stages, each with its own rules.
