On sale for just $14 (was $40), Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville for Xbox One continues the ongoing battle between, you guessed it, plants and zombies in a post-apocalyptic world. This Amazon’s Choice game lets you play as either plants or zombies as you build your defenses and counter-attack to reclaim the neighborhood. The latest in the Plants vs. Zombies franchise features split-screen and co-op modes for an even better experience.

“Best Plants vs. Zombies game yet! Incredible clarity, details on the characters, and several new characters and background scenery,” wrote a satisfied shopper. “There is no ‘real’ violence. It's sunflowers, and mushrooms, and oak trees (and other plant characters) fighting against zombie football players, zombie scientists, and zombie disco dancers and other zombies. It's funny and it's fun.”
