Plants vs. Zombies on XBOX Live

PopCap's new tower defense game is coming to the Xbox 360 via Live Arcade. With PopCap Games' Plants vs. Zombies, players set up their garden as a last line of defense against the undead hordes for an experience that is simultaneously cute and complex. WorthPlaying met with Garth Chouteau of PopCap Games up at Casual Connect , whereupon he revealed that Plants vs. Zombies would be coming to the Xbox 360. Chouteau, "revealed that P vs. Z is coming to XBLA, but did not elaborate any further on whether we can expect extras such as achievements, multiplayer or even a release date." It's no surprise that the game is coming to the console, as PopCap recently revealed it wanted to bring it to more systems. Presumably, this won't be happening for a little while, as the game doesn't even have an upcoming release page on Xbox.com. We will keep you posted as to when it's available.

Xbox Live Gold

Giving a kid a xbox 360 with a gold account ( so that he or she can play online ) is the worst thing you can do for your child . Yet 90% of parents just buy the 1 year xbox live card and give it to the child in part because that don't understand what that are doing !

If you do this you give your child a all access pass to things like chat , web cams ,and voice chat .

Yes you do need a gold account to play online but a silver account will still let your child use most of the cool stuff on xbox plus it's free.
