Fun for three! Club Penguin Air Hockey

We received the Club Penguin Air Hockey playset in our toyology box.


My three were really excited to get inside and give it a test.

Anyone who doesn't already know, Club Penguin is a children's online world where they can have their own penguin and interact with a virtual penguin world. So these cute little penguins may well be familiar to your children and it makes a great gift for anyone who is already a club penguin fan.


The box is a fair size and looks impressive with a clear section so you can see the 3 penguins you receive in the box there are several other penguins featured on the box, which you can purchase separately. Also it does talk about the online world on the box and includeds a special code which unlocks features on the online world.

Inside the box you get the air hockey play field, which needs some building (clipping the nets in place and fixing on the door) a stadium seating section, 2 player penguins with 2 extra stands, and a referee. You only get one playing Puck, so be careful you don't loose that!



This toy needs 2 x C batteries which are NOT included so be sure to get some of them in ready if your purchasing this as a present.


Once you have built up the stadium and inserted your batteries your ready to play, the air blows up to make the puck float fractionally just like real air hockey. There is a score board with turning scores to keep track of whos winning.

My three had great fun with this its simple to use and the rules are easy.. hit the puck to score a goal!

My three played happily together which is getting quite a rare thing, and played in a 'winner stays on' method with a first to score 5 being the winner which enabled them to finish a round fairly quickly and not get frustrated or bored in the process. they have also gone back to this several times and had a fair few games over the past few days.


There are a couple of downsides to this game, one it is fairly noisy, like a hair dryer, and the penguins tend to mark the playing pitch a bit. But neither of these things has stopped my three having fun with this toy.

The Club Penguin Air Hockey Set is Priced £39.99 and can be purchased from Toys R us now

Family fun - Bowling!

Family activities can be great, or simply awful, its often hard finding things where everyone can join in and everyone gets equal enjoyment, trying to find things which entertain not only the children but the adults too can be tough, and when you've got a few years age differences in children it can be even harder.

So when I was thinking of things to do this summer holiday, good value family fun things I thought Ten Pin Bowling would be worth a visit, and when TenPin offered us a free session we jumped at the chance!


I've not been bowling for years, my youngest has never been, hes 4 now. and the older two only with friends birthdays, I'm not sure quite why but its not something we have ever given much thought before, I guess it might be the fact I consider it an activity better suited to older children, teenagers maybe, seems as it was mainly in my teens when I visited bowling alleys with my friends, but really it is a great family activity that even fairly young children can enjoy.

So Today when we looked out of the window and saw it was dull and drizzly it seemed like a great day to take a trip to our local TenPin

We arrived at the TenPin in Derby and went inside, to be greeted with an arcade style entrance, several penny pusher type machines, and some classic arcade games, dance mats and such like, to the right there is a bar which also doubles as the cafe. To the left was the check in counter, and all along the back are the bowling lanes.

The noise of bowling alleys is pretty unique, balls rolling along and the pins being knocked down, whilst music plays and cheers are heard, it all adds to the excitement. The lights were lowered and the lanes lit up with neon lights making it all seem very attractive and exciting indeed.

We made our way over to the counter and changed our shoes, and then went to our lane.
The computer options were easy to understand, and we quickly inputted our names and set bumpers on the childrens turns. Me and Dad deciding we wouldn't need them... how wrong were we!

I went first stepping up with confidence and amazingly manged to knock about 8 down in my first bowl... however that was unfortunately my best effort and I slowly deteriorated - yep the practise seemed to make me worse.. whilst everyone else got better and better!

However, even tho I lost gracefully, we had a great time, there are the rolling ramps for the younger children, so Mikey could join in with us, he really got into the swing of it, and was repositioning the angel of the rolling ramp at each turn, and jumping with joy when he manged to beat Mum and Dad hands down!


My eldest two who are 8 and 9, didn't need the ramp and were confidently bowling and marveling in their new ability.
while me and Dad sat with our head in our hands but too proud to activate the bumpers for ourselves!


TenPin bowling really is a great place for competitive family fun! and is something we really should make time to do more often. We had two games, each has 10 rounds, and we were there for about 2 and a half hours, so it really is an activity which can fill an afternoon

The price of bowling ranges, with loads of great offers, the one thing I would note is that the food and drinks from the cafe are on the expensive side, we orded 2 x cokes and 2x fruit shoots, and 2x portions of chips and it came to £12.50 which is rather alot. The chips were lovely, but you got only a small amount considering the price! But with this in mind if you do want to make a longer outing then I would recommend taking advantage of the several eat and play offers, don't let the price of the added extras, put you off taking a family trip to your nearest TenPin Bowling as for some real team building family fun where everyone can get involved theres not much that beats it!

Take a look where your local TenPin bowling center is by clicking here: TenPin.co.uk
Also follow them on Twitter here: TenPin Bowling
or find them on facebook here: TenPin UK
and keep upto date with any offers they have.

And if you have yet to go bowling with your family I recommend it, its great for teaching how to be a good looser and making sure the 'winning isn't everything' moto is remembered, then you won't feel too bad when your children well and truly show you up!

An AMAZING time at the adventure farm

Yesterday we visited the National Forest Adventure Farm which is home to our local Maize maze
we've never visited a maize maze before although I had always thought they sounded interesting. There are Maize Maze all across the UK and they offer a great family day out be sure to check out the maize maze website to locate your nearest one, it is a much recommended day out!


Our Local Maize Maze is located in Burton On Trent right in the heart of the national forest.

When we arrived just after lunch the car park was already quite full, but there was still ample place to park in an overflow car park, it was a nice sunny day which was great, We headed straight to the Maze which changes theme each year, this year the theme is Shaun the Sheep, which my children were delighted about, as we entered the Maze the staff showed a video and there was a chance to buy a map for £1, and off we set into the maze armed with a flag in case we got lost! they also sell pens for 80p to help you fill in the free activity sheets, so if you don't fancy purchasing pens for your little ones be sure to take one in your bag!)


The maze its self is made out of as the name suggests Maize, with a few wooden bridges and look out towers at set points, there is also a toilet at the top of the maze and several marker points to find, at each one was a new Shaun the sheep character and activity board, if you purchased a map then these were clearly marked to help you find your way around.


We all thoroughly enjoyed our journey through the maze and the children loved following the map to the next marker, we managed to navigate our way around quite easily and didn't need to use our flag to call for help! located in the maze are speakers where music is played and the staff can talk to you it's all a very pleasant experience, and although it was very busy once inside the maze you couldn't really tell how many others were also taking part, only occasionally passing tracks with fellow maze goers.


After an hour or two in the maize maze we found our way out and went to explore the rest of the farm. The whole farm is so very clean and tidy, all the different areas are nicely sign posted and once you have paid your entrance fee activities are free (with exception to purchasing a map for the maze if you require, and the electric cars which need £1 to start them up )


There is plenty to entertain everyone, the staff were all very friendly and approachable, throughout the day there is various animal demonstrations and you're handed a time table as you enter which is great you can plan your activities around these if you wish.

In the fun field there was loads to do, lovely clean sand play areas for the younger children, with a fossil dig area lowered down,There is also a great wooden adventure trail course, lots of 'have a go' activities such as volleyball, skittles & a water squirter area (looked loads of fun, although we didn't take a change of clothes for the children so they didn't get to have a go)


A HUGE hit was the jumping pillow, which is basically a bouncy castle lowered into the ground, the children loved this and played on it for ages, I even had a quick bounce! for the younger children there is also a smaller bouncing castle slide called the bouncy bull, and lots of lovely sandy play areas.


If the weather isn't so great there is a indoor play area too, again entry to the indoor play area is included in the entrance fee to the farm and you can stay and play as long as you like, there is a lovely under 5's area and lots of tables as the indoor play area also incorporates the cafe, with a great menu all reasonably priced.


The older children will love the three slides available, the red slide looks mighty scary with a steep drop, Adults are welcome on the play apparatus if your brave enough to have ago on the slides, so remember your socks!


Back Outside there are lots of animals, plenty of hand washing areas, a great barrel tractor ride which my boys thoroughly enjoyed,

and pedal go karts in two sizes so everyone could enjoy them!


there really is LOADS to do at this aMAZEing adventure farm and I truly recommend it for a great action filled family day out.

Check out the National Forest Adventure farm website by clicking here: Adventurefarm.co.uk
they are open daily from 10am -6pm Entrance price various depending what time you choose to visit, at peak times it costs £35 for a family of 4, however once you have paid to enter everything is included which makes it a very reasonable priced day out and as activities don't involve extra charges it makes for a relaxed day as you can allow your children free scoop to hop on and off the activities. check here for current prices and family discounts: Adventure farm price list

you can also find them on facebook and twitter!

The LeapPad in depth!!



The LeapPad from Leapfrog is set to be a massive hit, but I'm sure everyone wants to know what they really are all about, will they really occupy the children, what games come with them and how do they work?



So I have put together a full in depth video review for you which you can find below



Here are some points to also note:



  • on the product info LeapFrog state that the LeapPad will be available with 100+ learning games, books and aps. They mean there are over 100+ aps for you to purchase as and when you wish so there will be something to suit everyone with famous characters such as Disney Cars, Toy Story, Tinkerbell and Dora the Explorer along with other favourites such as Starwars.

  • The LeapPad come with a built in Camera and Edit suite which allows children to take photos and video recordings
  • There is also a built in Microphone and children can add narration to their own stories and eBooks

  • The LeapPad will need to connect to the Internet and be registered in order to download the 3 free aps after purchase
  • The 3 aps provided are 'art studio' 'story studio' and then one other of your choice (these may be subject to change due to my review being based on the information I have pre release Leapfrog may alter any additional aps and games before the LeapPad hit the shelves)

  • A Pet Pad ap is pre installed on the LeapPad for you
  • All Leapster Explorer games are compatible with the LeapPad

  • There is a volume control on the front of the LeapPad and also a headphone socket

  • The LeapPad takes 4 x AA batteries which are NOT included also it has the ability to plug in a AC power adapter again this is NOT included

In the box you get the LeapPad, two stylus pens, a USB cable and CD to allow you to connect the LeapPad to your computer



The age rating is 4- 9 years I feel that the games and aps are simple and easy for younger children to manage and yet there is still enough interest to them to entertain older children.



Amongst the catalogue of available aps are videos which can be purchased and downloaded onto your LeapPad these would entertain any child great for car journeys!



Also with its unique reading system on the interactive eBooks it is a great education toy to encourage new reading skillsLink

The LeapPad is due to be released 15th August 2011 and is available now for PreOrder from Toys R us priced at £79.99



Take a Look at our 'LeapPad - first look' where I show a video of Mikey my 4 year old playing on one of the additional purchase game aps Roly poly Picnic



I will be doing another review of connecting to the computer and downloading the aps as soon as I get confirmation from Leapfrog that the ap store is running.



but for now check out my full in depth video review here:

A first look at the Leapfrog LeapPad



We were really excited to be told we would be getting our hands on a Leapfrog LeapPad explorer tablet before it hit the shops later on this month.
It was a real honour to be chosen as one of the first people in the UK to get our hands on this amazing gadget pre release date.
So a big thank you to the great team at Toys R Us UK toyologists


So when the postman knocked on our door yesterday bright and early and handed us the box everyone was eager to get their hands on the LeapPad.

I quickly managed to take a few photos of what was in the box before watching as the Leappad disappeared followed by the three children with whimpers of 'is it my turn now'


I through out the day saw flashes of green and white and 'mummy say 'cheeesssseee' as they ran past, but every time I asked for a look they disappeared again! Initially Jake, my 9 year old said 'I'm not having ago, its babyish' but within 10 minutes of the 'ohhhh and wow look at this' coming from Chloe and Mikey he had changed his mind, and when he got his hands on it some time later he was less than eager to give it up!



Mikey who is 4, which is the lower end of the recommended age range could easily manage the LeapPad he seemed to instantly know how it worked and set about exploring its features with no trouble at all, Chloe my 8 year old loved it and was happily drawing away in the art studio and making a story, although the concepts of some of these are very simple aimed at young children she didn't mind at all and has cried about having to let her brothers have ago or put it down to eat and sleep!



So I sat and waited so very patiently for them to discard it, surely after several hours of play it would be eventually tossed aside... I waited, but no, not one of them choose out of their own choice to put it down, always had to be prompted to pass it along, and in doing so there was always 2 others, (no make that 3 including Dad) always wanting ago in front of me.


Eventually its batteries (which are not included in the box of the retail versions, so you need 4 x AA's) were running low and it was switching itself off, and then, and only then, I was passed it to have a look at!

After I figured out how to get into the battery compartments (no screws needed which is a bonus, just a coin or use the stylus to push down and open the doors underneath) I finally manged to hide away for 10 minutes with white lies of 'noo I've not charged it yet!' whilst I had a quick play to see what the fuss was all about. But sure enough Mikey heard me and so came rushing through with 'its my turn!' so I lost it again, however I did manage to get this film of Mikey, seems as I haven't had a proper chance to look at it and do you a full review of its features you ll have to for now take Mikeys review and I *Will* get my hands on it do do a review of what else this great new gadget does in the next day or so!

so here is Mikeys Review of the LeapPad playing one of the Aps (which was pre installed on ours for testing purposes - not quite sure which aps will be included in the box when they hit the shelves just yet) Roly Poly Picnic... enjoy.

I have now had a chance to do a more indepth review you can find it here : LeapPad in DepthLink

keep cool

Hasn't it been lovely weather for once, the summer holidays have not been rained off, the sun has shone and the temperatures have soared. We've spent a fair amount of time out in the garden or walking through the woods which is great, but in true British style, we're never overly happy with the weather and dare I say it, it has been a bit too hot!


the problem is when it gets so hot, we're just not used to it, and so things like making sure the children are sun creamed up, with hats on and properly hydrated sometimes slip our minds.


Drinking water on hot days is vital, and quite often children can be stubborn when it comes to the plain stuff.



But fear not SilverSprings has teamed up with HiT the childrens entertainment brand responsible for Fireman Sam, Bob the Builder and such like, to bring you spring water especially designed for children.


and we were kindly sent some to get our verdict.

These 300ml sports bottles of British spring water are the perfect size for lunchboxes, for slipping in your bag when you're off out for a walk or for handing out for that mid afternoon refresher. The designs on the packaging are Bob the Builder, Fireman Sam, Thomas the Tank Engine and Angelina Ballerina, everyone knows how much children love to see their favourite cartoon characters on everything so it does make sense to put a popular character on some good healthy foods and drinks rather than the sweets and chocolates often associated with character brandings.

Luckily my three have no problem with drinking water, although admittedly they normally if given the choice go for squash, however with the branded bottles it is easier to persuade them to choose water.

My eldest are 9 and 8 years old, so a bit old for the age range these characters are aimed at, but even still they were happy enough to see a brighter looking water bottle. My youngest is 4 and starting school in September and these will be perfect for his lunchboxes.

If your little one is reluctant to drink water I would say these might just do the trick, and if your little one already likes water then this is just an added bonus, because lets face it most other bottled water is rather plain looking! So keep your eyes out for these new designs in a supermarket near you very soon.

Heres some info from Silversprings themselves reminding us of some important info:

"These small bottles of spring water are ideal for little hands and feature their favourite HIT friends – Angelina Ballerina, Fireman Sam, Bob the Builder and the newest addition to the range, Thomas the Tank Engine! For parents, the handy 300ml bottles also mean it’s easy to work out if your child has consumed their recommended daily intake of water. 4-8 year olds should drink 1.2 litres a day and so will already be well on the way towards their quota after just one little bottle. With water being proven to aid concentration, it offers an extra reason to make HiT spring water a lunchbox staple, ensuring your child feels refreshed both physically and mentally throughout the school day.

Silver Spring’s HIT British Spring Water is nothing but pure spring water from the North Downs of Kent. Bottled at source and containing naturally present calcium, the small bottles of spring water are the most refreshing and hydrating drink around. With the added excitement of a fun and familiar character however, this simple and hugely important drink can become a permanent feature in your little one’s lunch box without any fuss."

Zoobles Review


We received a Spinmaster Zooble mama and zoobling set via BlogMatch.


These are a new range of toys released in 2010 by Spinmaster, the idea behind these cute pretty little mystical creatures is that they roll up into a ball and can magically spring to life when they interact with their playsets. The set we were sent was part of the mama and zoobling range.

The packaging is nice and clear, it shows exactly what you receive inside, with a clear fronted bubble pack the names of the zoobles included is displayed on the front, along with the product number, these little creatures make a great collection piece with over 300 to collect there is plenty of scope for presents in the future, and with their pretty markings and cute look they are sure to be a hit with lots of girls.

As soon as Chloe (whos 8) saw the pack she couldn't wait to open it up and have a look at the zoobles, we have never seen them before so were interested in what they were.

In the pack we received there is a little tree habitat with a swing which comes unattached, which simply clips on to the tree, we did find this a bit loose fitting and it kept falling off, but it didn't interfere with the playability factor. The Baby zoobling is very small, about the size of a 5p so the age rating of 4+ is definitely worth noting, as younger children are likely to find them abit fiddely and the small parts may be easily broke or put in a very young childs mouth. the mama Zooble is a fair bit bigger and when she is rolled up she is 2 and a half cm in diameter, and she springs out to a little bigger. Which seems a good handy size, and if you are going to start a zooble collection you could fit a fair few on a shelf.

The Spin to life feature is activated when the rolled up mama zooble is placed on a special spot on the habitat and she instantly springs open, when you press her head she flaps her ears and eyes. The baby zoobling fits inside the mama and then can be rolled up together.

Chloe who is a bit picky with toys, and alot don't interest her for very long at all, thought
this is a real sweet toy and has already decided that she wants to grow her zooble collection, which isn't surprising the people at Spin master have got it just right, such pretty detailed to the zoobles, with a novel function of them rolling up and springing open they can be popped in a bag or pocket and taken out and about with you where ever you go, and retailing from about £5.99 for a single zooble they are reasonably priced, with the ute designs they are a great collection piece for the older children.

Also Zoobles have a lovely website all to themselves found here: zoobles.com which is as pretty as the zoobles themselves, showing some of the available zoobles in their different lands, it has some fun games and a collection area, for you to see which zoobles are available and store which ones you already have in your collection.

Overall I think these are a great toy for the older girls (aged 6 -10) who are still intrested in toys and would enjoy collecting a set, they are fairly priced and they certainly are sweet looking, the fact they roll up and pop open again means the play factor is good, and they are a great size to be popped in a poket and carried around.

Connect 4 Launchers Review

As part of the Toys R us Toyologist 2011 program we were sent Connect 4 Launchers to review.


This is a new take on the classic connect 4 game.

Giving a 3d element and a more action packed game play this is a great game for any age, My youngest and my eldest could all play this together.

In the box you get 4 pillar corner pieces, 2 clear grid trays, 21 yellow counters, 21 red counters, a red launcher and a yellow launcher. the instructions are printed on the inside of the lid. (which is great as they can't get lost!)


The board itself is easy to put together the 4 legs are sturdy enough and the trays simply press into place very easy to set up and take down.

The concept is the same as ever with making a row of 4 tiles to win, however in connect 4 launchers there is a 3d board with two tiers, and you now have 'launchers' to propel your counters onto the board, and land in the groves.



Hasbro has set out different game modes one is simple, everyone fires as quickly as they can until someone gets 4 in a row, no turn taking just simple fire the counters and try and match up 4 in a row, then a more advanced version of the game where you take it in turns and so more strategy is involved decided where to fling your counter, also in this more advanced mode you can use the special counters which have black and white bands on the edges to do special moves, like clear a row of counters, adding more thought to the game.

this is a great game for the whole family, with the different rules it can be a fast fun game for younger children, or a more thought provoking game for the older ones, either way its alot of fun.

Hasbro have also got an online version of the game on their kids website which can be found by clicking here : HasbroKids This is a website my children like to play on often with lots of fun games on there, we did have a look at the online connect 4 launcher game a few weeks ago and it was working fine, however now it seems to not be coming up when you click on the link, so I have just linked to the main hasbrokids website and hopefully the connect 4 launcher game will be online again soon!

Pop on over to the Toys R us Facebook page to read my reviews in the Toy Box App along with all the other reviews from fellow Toyologists, plus get all the latest news and informations on new products!

Heres my video Review for you :)

you can make a difference too



I am doing this post because I am passionate about helping people, about giving things back and trying to make a difference. I am not well off nor am I a perfect parent, I do not have it all and I as much as most struggle along trying to find the right way. But one thing that I do is give up a few hours a week to help someone else, as part of my local Homestart, because I know how hard it can be and how sometimes just a little support makes all the differance. I am writing this in the hope you take five minutes of your time to read it and learn about Homestart, share its message.



Homestart
is an amazing charity with so little recognition its silly, some people may have heard of home start, others may automatically think of it in the same way as sure start centers or such schemes. Homestart is different. Homestart really makes a difference.



So what 'does' homestart do...

they do so much but from the words of homestarts website



"Home-Start supports almost 73,000 vulnerable children across the UK. Last year, our 16,000 volunteers gave a million hours of support to their families. We help them cope with post-natal illness, isolation, bereavement, disability, domestic violence and much more"



So what does that really mean? it means that in most communities across the UK there are homestart schemes running, often quietly giving much needed and much appreciated support. The Team consist of Trustees, a manger, and organizers who look after everyone in their scheme, they enrol families and train the volunteers, then there are as many volunteers as the organizers can find and train who like me, give up just a few hours of their free time each week with no payment to go and help another family. To offer support in almost anyway possible, they help by just being there, by having that time to really care, to reassure and give confidence to stand with them at mother and baby groups so the new mum is not isolated, to help take twins to doctors appointments or toddlers to the park to run off that energy, they help mothers whos family live miles away, or families who have suffered bereavement, familes with multiple births, or special needs, offering a real person who genuinely cares and is there to help talk things through, to sign post you to services who can help and to have a non judgemental, confidential listening ear, they help support families to enable them to make it through difficult times without the need for intervention from elsewhere, sometimes just a friendly face is all anyone needs.





Homestart not only help the very poorest of families or those at most risk, they offer their support to anyone, of any race, social class and situation, their only criteria is that you have a child under 5, it is a great support to families with multiples or those who have partners who work long hours, or people who are new to an area and just need a friendly person to show them around.

"Many parents need help, friendship, advice or support during those early years when children are young. There is no rulebook for raising a family and sometimes it can seem overwhelming, particularly if your family is going through difficult times."



Homestart volunteers are not social workers, they are not there to judge or tell you what to do, they are there to reassure and support, they give confidence and offer both emotional and practical support. Volunteers are not perfect they are not special they are simply parents who know how hard it is, we volunteers are real people who really care and that is what makes homestart such an amazing support network.



With alot of funding being taken away from services like homestart, now is more important than ever to help raise the profile of the schemes that really do work, that really are making a difference, homestart is one such scheme.



If you can take 10 minutes of your day to read this, to pass it on, to talk about homestart then that is a help, if you can support your local scheme in anyway by doing any funding or by raising its profile it will be appreciated, if you would like to become a volunteer or know more then contact your local scheme it really does make a difference!



And lastly, homestart does make a difference to families the volunteers really do help, but the course to train the volunteers is an amazing experience and being a volunteer is rewarding in itself so not only does homestart help the families it supports, it helps the families who are volunteers too.

keep your brain occupied before the zombies eat them...


Children and holidays can be brain numbing for everyone can't they? All the children want to do is play video games or watch DVDs or sit on your shoulder mumbling about how boring it is, So is there anything which can keep them entertained which you all can have fun with?
Any video games which aren't involving running around shooting at each other with guns?

Pop Cap have a whole host of computer games which children and adults can enjoy, the games range from word puzzles to more action filled strategy games like Plants Vs Zombies which will have the whole family laughing and playing together.

We have been huge Plants Vs Zombies Fans since it was released in May 2009, and have been playing it ever since trying to protect our Brains!



The aim of the game is to plant various plants to hold off the onslaught of Zombies who are trying to get to the house to eat your brains, sounds abit gruesome doesn't it? But it is such a friendly family game the Zombies are almost cute and not at all scary. The game is a easy strategy tower defense game, you have to decided which layout of plants will be best to defend against the various Zombies who come along. as you progress through the levels you find new plants and new zombies, unlock mini games and puzzles, it is strangely addictive you will find yourself eager to get the children to bed so you can play it yourself!


The Zombies advance across your garden from the right, you collect sun glows to clock up your sun score which you can use to buy plants and place them down, as you go through the game not only do you find new zombies who do various things (dolphins, football players, dancers etc) but you go through different garden scenes, some with a pool, some without, some at night and even on the roof (those zombies are pretty persistent!) But fear not the plants you will find have different features which help you out, including a selection of mushrooms to help you when its not so sunny! You also will find the key to Crazy Daves shop and be able to grow your own plants in a zen garden. Even after completing this game there is so much to do the fun never ends, and for the competitive ones of you there are great endless modes for you to fight to hold the biggest streak!



I really want to write something to portray just how fun this game is but describing it just doesn't cut the mustard So if you haven't already seen this great game pop over to popcaps website and you'll find free trials for all their great games, and you can give it ago your self!

plants vz Zombies is available on DS and XBOX aswell as on windows PC and Mac, and some smartphones for you to play on the go, great to entertain anyone on long journeys!
