  • Woo hoo: Freemium Plants vs. Zombies 2 for iOS is here. No sign of it for Android

    Plants vs. Zombies 2 for iOS.
    Plants vs. Zombies 2 for iOS.

    Plants vs. Zombies is one of my favorite games. And, fans of the game have literally been waiting years for a sequel. Well, it is finally here for iOS devices. And, it’s free (freemium).

    Plants vs. Zombies 2

    A quick run through the first level shows a number of interesting additions to both plants and zombies (mummies on the first level). It makes for a more challenging but still playable game. A number of people have commented and complained about the numerous and somewhat expensive (when added all together) paid add-ons ranging from $1.99 to $7.99 per add-on. I don’t know yet if add-ons are necessary once you get to higher levels. But, the game is a lot of fun without dealing with add-ons in the early stage.

    I could not find PvZ2 in Google’s Android Play Store. So, you need to be an iOS device user to enjoy this long awaited game for now.

  • New MobileViews Podcast cover art

    MobileViews_Podcast_x320On March 21 Apple sent email to podcasters publishing through iTunes telling them that they need to provide new cover art that conforms to the new 1400×1400 pixel format (JPEG or PNG). So, my old ugly MobileViews cover art has been replaced by this new ugly cover art. The new cover art reflects that this one podcast stream hosts both the MobileViews and ComicsViews podcasts.
