Plants vs. Zombies dated for XBLA

PopCap's trumpeted the "early September" arrival of Plants vs. Zombies on Xbox Live Arcade.

The superb puzzle game will cost 1200 Microsoft Points (£10.20/€14.40). And there will be plenty of extras, such as co-op and versus multiplayer, 12 Achievements and 21 mini-games.

Plus, PVZ on XBLA has "the highest resolution of any adaptation" so far. In other words, full 1080p support.

PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies is a strategical tour de force and the best yet from a company with numerous mega-hits. The idea is to stop a horde of zombies with your own horde of plants. Sounds simple but obviously isn't.
