It took 16 long years, but Plants vs. Zombies is finally coming back. Unveiled during today's Nintendo Direct showcase (but yes, it's coming to PC, let's clear that up straight away), Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is a full remaster of the original game, "with new levels, fresh twists, and 15 years of never-before-seen franchise history."
It's hard to overstate how big Plants vs Zombies was following its debut in 2009, and a big part of that was its universal appeal. At first glance it looks like a silly, casual diversion your early 2000s mom might play, but underneath the cheery cartoonishness of it all lay a pretty damn good strategy game: If you weren't properly upgrading and deploying your Peashooters, Wall-nuts, Sunflowers, and Squash, you were going to have a very bad time.
