Diehard GameFAN: RISK: Plants vs. Zombies is a cute novelty that fans should basically eat up, as it lets you replicate the plants versus zombies experience with friends in a board game, and it’s novel enough that kids can enjoy it, but as a RISK game it’s limited. If you take it as a Plants vs. Zombies piece of merchandise, or as a cute themed novelty, it’s not a bad investment. You get something that’s themed like the product, is fun to play in most respects, and has some unconventional rules that make it engaging while at least partially being kid friendly. The main game can be a bit more involved than kids might be interested in, though, while also being less engaging for RISK fans due to its limited two player only scope, and a lot of paper pieces mean a lot of chances for piece destruction if you’re not very careful.

Leaked footage from unreleased Project Hot Tub gets verified and we have them on the table. Plants vs Zombies franchise fans are onto it.
From IGN: "In the second half of 2016, a small team of developers at PopCap Vancouver were gearing up for a presentation that would determine the future of their team, their project, and potentially an already-beloved franchise: Plants vs. Zombies.
For the past year, they had been working on a brand new Plants vs. Zombies adventure that would take the series in a very different direction. Though they had EA’s blessing for their work to that point, it wasn’t a guarantee the project would ultimately see the light of day, especially given how ambitious it was."
