A Game Came True

I wished for a game that will give me excitement, and PopCap games presented and gave it to me- Plants vs. Zombies.

            When I first saw Plants vs. Zombies, I thought it was just another game that I will get bored of. But when I started playing it, I feel happiness in every click of the mouse. The plants I plant will protect me from the zombies who try to eat my brains. They guard my backyard and risk their lives to protect me. It’s just like a defense game but in every single way, it gives me laughter and joy. There are plants and zombies fighting. The plants protect me but the zombies keep on attacking. What should I do? I know! Just keep on playing.

There is an almanac in reality, which is in Plants vs. Zombies too. When I look at it, I see the names of plants and zombies I have faced. But of all the plants I’ve known, Cattail is the best because it is beneficial the same time cute. It is called Cattail but it barks! Among all the zombies, I like the Newspaper Zombie because it gets mad when its newspaper is gone and doesn’t wear shorts! It gives me the thrill I always wanted to have. I would scream if I would lose and restart. I would wine while playing and saying, “Please! I beg you! Let me win!” Then I would go to the Mini-Game area. Of all the mini-games I know, Zombotany is the worst! I would always lose.

Every time I would go to the Plants vs. Zombies icon, I would think, “When I open this laptop, I always open this icon. It’s like I’m always attracted to it and can help but press it. Am I imagining things?” I look around… “It is my favorite!”

At first, I didn’t know anything about Plants vs. Zombies, so I can’t relate to what my classmates are saying about it. I always thought that it wasn’t fun at all. I always thought that they were just addict about it. But now, I’m one of the biggest PVZ fans.

It’s like it just appeared in front of me and have a great time playing it. Plants vs. Zombies is a game come true.

Go Out and Play

In this fast advancing world of technology, even popular sports like basketball, football, soccer and billiards are continuously losing its popularity over cyber games and e-sports especially among children, teens and young adults.Kids these days are getting hooked on playing different games with their computers. They argue that playing computer games sharpen their minds as they are played competitively and on the real-time strategy. It may be true, but we must also remember that the real reasons in getting into sports is becoming physically fit, healthy and smart; it is also important in developing sportsmanship and leadership. You don’t get all these if you are

into cyber games and e-sports, while sitting down on your computer and not seeing your opponent face to face.

Promoting sports in school through intramurals and athletic meet is a good thing to fire up the enthusiasm of children in physical games. It is a school event that must be continuously observed because through sports, healthy citizenry will be developed not only on the physical aspect but more so, the moral and psychological aspect.

Instead of just sitting down in front of their computers, children must be encouraged to go out and play with friends during leisure time- because it is best for their hearts and minds.
