EA Buys Popcap Games: Zombies Welcome New Overlords

Welcome Platter of brains, kidneys and Mountain Dew.
Electronic Arts said today it has reached an agreement to acquire Popcap Games, makers of Peggle and Plants vs. Zombies. The deal will cost EA a whopping $1.3 Billion dollars over a multi year period. I think it's a great move, I love Popcap games and Plants vs. Zombies was one of the most addictive games I have ever played. How so? Well, I have a physical copy on PC, a copy on my iPhone and the XBLA version. I can't live without my plants defending me. EA buying in now is a very smart marketing move.

But in response to the deal, the Zombies decided to welcome the company the best way they know how; through love, brains and hatred of plants.

Robert Kirkman doesn't have s*** on these zombies.
