Garden clubbing

Part action and part strategy, the incredibly popular smartphone game "Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare" (Electronic Arts, Xbox, PS3, PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4) has made the jump to consoles, and the result is pretty awesome. Players can choose to play as zombies or plants. Each team has four classes, including your basic infantry unit and more support and offensive units. After picking their class, players are treated to three addictive multiplayer modes, where shooting skills are put to the test. As many as 24 players can be in a game online. As a bonus, the downloadable content is free. Pretty cool.
