Plants Vs. Zombies Vs. ME


Super Plants fighting off Zombies...how could something so dumb be so fun.

 Let me start off by addressing how much I DO NOT LIKE video games. My husband really likes to play games with his brother but for some reason I hate it. So when I noticed that Plants VS. Zombies had been downloaded to my iPad I thought I would just leave it there for when my husband wanted to play. Well, then one lonely night boredom came..and so did zombie killing. This game is weirdly fun for me. I honestly enjoy playing and if I don't check myself, a couple minutes could turn into a solid hour and a half.
However, really loving this game has made me think a lot about video games in my home when I'm a parent. Do I want my kids downloading tons of games on my iPad and being lost in the internet for hours? This particular game isn't exactly violent, yes it does have pea shooting sprouts and little cherry bombs but it's a lot more wholesome than other games I've seen. By I really honestly don't know if and how it would influence little kids...Maybe by the end of the semester I'll have a good idea.
