First revealed in a report towards the end of June, mega videogame publisher EA has completed an acquisition of casual game developer and publisher PopCap Games in a deal said to be worth over $1 billion.
We all know that PopCap creates and publishes some of the most addictive games in the business, and even though the company’s titles aren’t hardcore AAA monstrosities Xbox 360 owners are used to, they always have polish and charm to spare.
Did I mention PopCap games are massively addictive?
If you’ve never played a PopCap game before, or there are a few titles that you’ve missed, Xbox LIVE Gold members are now able to take advantage of a range of special price offers on lots of the studio’s best games.
Here’s the full list:

Plants VS Zombies is awesome, no doubt. It’s also available on almost as many platforms as DOOM and Quake.
Almost.
Yesterday, two new games hit Xbox LIVE Arcade. One game is well-known and beloved. The other game is completely unknown. One game features plants and zombies. The other game features 8 different stages.
Both games feature dance routines.
Of course I’m talking about the lovable strategy defence game, Plants VS Zombies, and the… unknown dance game, Dance! It’s Your Stage.
For 1200 MS Points, you can grab Plants VS Zombies, which is described thus:
Everybody’s favourite ‘casual’ game developer, PopCap Games, has announced that the studio’s latest hit title, Plants VS Zombies, will be arriving on Xbox LIVE Arcade later this year with all new content and features.
With a planned launch of “early September,” it seems no-one will be safe from PopCap’s charming tower defence game that pits the invading forces of shambling dead against the indomitable spirit and vitality of flora.
