Todd Ogasawara, Jay Stone, and Email Reyes discuss some of their favorite mobile games in MobileViews Podcast 64. They start off with the recently released Plants vs. Zombies 2. This long awaited game was released using a freemium model. It moves on to Candy Crush, Angry Birds Star Wars, and the surprisingly expensive but apparently satisfying retro games brought from the PC and console gaming world to the iPad.

Woo hoo: Freemium Plants vs. Zombies 2 for iOS is here. No sign of it for Android

Plants vs. Zombies is one of my favorite games. And, fans of the game have literally been waiting years for a sequel. Well, it is finally here for iOS devices. And, it’s free (freemium).

A quick run through the first level shows a number of interesting additions to both plants and zombies (mummies on the first level). It makes for a more challenging but still playable game. A number of people have commented and complained about the numerous and somewhat expensive (when added all together) paid add-ons ranging from $1.99 to $7.99 per add-on. I don’t know yet if add-ons are necessary once you get to higher levels. But, the game is a lot of fun without dealing with add-ons in the early stage.

I could not find PvZ2 in Google’s Android Play Store. So, you need to be an iOS device user to enjoy this long awaited game for now.
