So Tired....

Posted on Thursday, September 9 @ 12:19:39 Eastern by danielrbischoff

I was up until 4 A.M. last night playing Plants Vs. Zombies. How do you do it Popcap?


Plants Vs. Zombies was released on XBLA yesterday. Having not played the game on any other platform, I decided I'd snap it up for the 1200 Microsoft Points and see what all the fuss was about. I didn't know that it would turn quickly into a marathon of exhausting proportions.

I had previously experienced the blood-sucking energy that is Peggle, but didn't think that phenomenon could be repeated with a tower defense game. I was wrong.

What's more, my girlfriend even got into the game and encourage probably an extra two hours of play after I had already decided it was time to go to bed. This part actually thrilled me because it's had to find the exact game that will snag her and actually get her to want to play video games.

I'm not saying I necessarily hate having been up so late, but it's been a long, long time since I pulled anything even resembling an all-nighter for the sake of gaming. I was up late for the midnight launch of Modern Warfare 2, but I wasn't up past 2 A.M. for that title. When GTA IV landed, I believe I was up until about 3 (maybe close to 4) A.M. When I bought my Xbox 360 and Halo 3, I think I was probably up until 6, with a class to attend at 9.

I know we all do ridiculous things for gaming, but I never thought I would be up that late for Plants Vs. Zombies.
