Plants vs. Zombies

I can get hooked on games like this really easily. This one was not an exception. I thought to myself, this is a dumb premise. I'll just play until I die once and that'll be the end of it. As I moved through the levels the more and more entranced I became. And once I did die, I continued playing because I thought I could get farther. I'm a sucker for mindless and easy games like this. I think a lot of people are in the same boat. Something as simple as this game, or Angry Birds, can occupy a large portion of our time. It's just so easy to keep on playing this game, because it doesn't require a lot of skill or previous knowledge. The advertisements between each level were annoying, but I know that they were there to entice the user to download the full, ad-free version. I refrained from doing so, however, and will probably continue to play this version. I am always looking for distractions (even if I need them or not), and casual games like this serve as quite the distraction for me. I assume many others can't resist games like this as well.
