iPod Touch

I am going to start doing iPod reviews and here is one to start:

Plants vs. Zombies
Buy on the App Store

Plants vs. Zombies is a tower defence game. You have to plant plants to defend you and your house from zombies. It is a very well done port of the computer versions. It has nice graphics, nice sounds but lacks alot that the computer versions have so here is a basic outline:
- Story
It is exactly the same thing as the computer version's.

- Achievements
It has a nice list of achievements. Basic things to more time intensive things like finishing story mode twice.

- Quick Game
It is a way to quickly have a game.

- Crazy Dave's Shop
It has Crazy Dave's shop but lacks the items for game modes not available on the ipod version.

What it Lacks
It lacks Survival, Mini-Games, Zen Garden, Wisdom Tree

What it needs to improve
It needs survival and with survival a highscore board. I would LOVE to see mini-games in it. They have the main ones in story but you can't replay them without replaying the story until you get back to that point.

Overall
Graphics: 9/10
Music: 8.5/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Overall: 26.5/30

Worth paying the money for.

Minecraft

My clan has become bigger. I have gotten a request from a moderator of the official minecraft forums to do an event on his server. We also have our own server. I rent it from XtremeHostz for a great price, with great service. If you decide to also rent from them please say Mineore told you about them. http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1027&t=197089
We run it using Bukkit and have many useful commands thanks to a ver valuable member named NickBrahz. I would like to thank him.
