Plants vs. Zombies for iOS updated with new features

Today is the last day of E3 2011. While the show has been going on, iOS games that everyone has been going nuts over took a backseat to home consoles and the PlayStation Vita. That still didn’t stop PopCap from releasing a major update for Plants vs. Zombies on iOS today. The game is now running on version 1.6 and it includes new modes and achievements.
The Zen Garden is the first notable addition to PvZ on iOS. While in the Zen Garden, you can grow plants from the game. Every time you water, feed, or play them music, the plants will give you coins that you can spend in Crazy Dave’s shop (also known as his car).

Crazy Dave is so crazy, he’ll give you 10,000 coins just so you can buy the first new minigame in PvZ called Zombotany. In this mode, the zombies will have the heads of plants. It makes you change your strategy because not only do you have to defend against munching zombies, but you also have to prepare for zombies that shoot peas. PopCap has turned your own powers against you in this mode. There are a couple other minigames such as Zombiquarium and It’s Raining Seeds, but they cost $50,000 coins each.

Finally, PvZ also has new achievements.
