The 
battle between the undead and garden vegetation just escalated.
After a delay of several months, the aptly-named Plants vs. Zombies 2: It’s About Time has finally hit the App Store. It’s a much-anticipated return for one of the most popular franchises for PopCap Games, though it’s not without some controversy.
Jelly Defense is a 
perfectly serviceable entry in the tower defense genre, but it doesn’t really add anything that other titles haven’t already. The enemies and defenders are, admittedly, much cuter than in most other games of this ilk, but the gameplay is fairly basic: Waves of enemy troops come marching down the road and you attempt to stop them with a series of defensive weapons. The controls handle well, though, and the game’s overall look is certainly eye-pleasing. It currently carries an introductory price of 99 cents, which is certainly fair, though we’re not sure we’d pay more for the game and still feel as good about it.
Tower defense games are
quite common in the app store, but this reversal of the game model in Anomaly Warzone Earth HD, which puts you in the role of the troops walking into the kill zone, is a wonderfully creative and entertaining twist. The game has tons of variety in troops you can deploy (as well as upgrades you can choose) and giving you plenty of options as you choose your route. The production values are high and there’s even a story that doesn’t feel tacked on. It’s an incredibly sleek, fluid game that might appear simple at first glance, but gets deeper and deeper the more you play it. And it’s an absolute must for strategy fans. It was also the winner of the Apple Design Award.
