The latest update of "Plants vs. Zombies" on iPhone made a change to one of the most recognizable adversaries in the game. Since the game's launch in 2009, the Dancing Zombie has bared a striking resemblance to Michael Jackson in the "Thriller" music video, complete with red leather jacket, tight, too-short pants and white socks. That all changed with the latest update to "Plants vs. Zombies," as the Dancing Zombie is now disco themed. Why the change? Apparently PopCap heard from the lawyers of Michael Jackson's estate.
Game Rant interviews Plants vs. Zombies composer Peter McConnell about honoring the series’ quirky roots, adapting its themes, and now going vinyl.
The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
The Nerd Stash: "Everyone loves setting up killzones and laying waste to waves of enemies, so here are our picks for the best tower defense games ever."
Leaked footage from unreleased Project Hot Tub gets verified and we have them on the table. Plants vs Zombies franchise fans are onto it.
Boo. Dancing zombie was awesome.
Well I won't update it then.
That's too bad. I wondered about this following his death last year. I'm disappointed PopCap folded but figured it was only a matter of time before the lawyers put on the pressure.
Micheal Jackson would've wanted people to enjoy his likeness, regardless of the context. It wasn't even really disrepectful or anything.
Seems like quite a bit of MJ news today huh folks
