Peaceblooms vs Ghouls in WoW's Cataclysm Beta!

Popcap Games' ultra-popular Plants versus Zombies mini-game comes to World of Warcraft's Cataclysm Beta

Perhaps everyone saw this coming, given Blizzard's partnership with PopCap games, but it's impressive nonetheless that the mega-popular casual game, Plants vs. Zombies, has made its way into the World of Warcraft Cataclysm Beta. The quest and game takes place in Hillsbrad Foothills and appears to be aimed (experience reward-wise) towards players around level 20, but it's doubtful that only level 20s will be whiling away many an hour in this well designed game.

World of Warcraft Podcaster "TotalHalibut" has released a video on YouTube detailing the entire mini-game questline, and while the actual quest in itself doesn't appear to be too difficult, fans of Plants vs. Zombies will have a great time working on those achievements on endless mode, like trying to survive 100 waves of Ghouls.

All in all, the game looks to be quite well designed, even in adapting to the World of Warcraft engine, and this may signal the possibility of more casual PopCap games making their way into World of Warcraft.

I like wow. I dont have a farm and I dont want wow and facebook to be interchangeable. This might be cute - I just hope it's not a trend. What a way to blow a good environment. Please, let it be the only such 'game in game' insertion... (holds breath til Winter Veil to see whether we now have goblin bowling)

if you dont like it dont play it, they wont try to force you to play it, they wont make the rewards for it unmissable (since its just money and xp), some people enjoy things like this and its nice to have something a bit different then just "go kill 10 such and such" or "go collect 10 things". plus this has nothing to do with facebook so why are you mentioning it?

I love the idea of Peacebloom Vs Ghouls (althought that name is terrible)
