Who would've thought that a game about a bunch of flowers defending of a horde of flesh-eaters would become as big as it is today. PopCap's Plants Vs. Zombies is one of the most successful games available on the iPhone (gaining over $1 Million in gross sales within the first nine days of its release). It has received various awards, most notably "Best Game Design" and "Best Download Game" and even an Xbox Live release. In fact, it's become such a runaway hit (not just among the zombie community but more broadly in pop culture) that it has now been spoofed by one of China's most successful sitcoms. The sitcom, roughly translated as The Hip Hop 4 parodies the game about as unsubtly as being hit by a lorry that anyone with the slightest amount of knowledge about this game would instantly find it hard not to laugh. Here's the clip - beware, it is very bizarre.
