Will you start with Zombiquarium or Zombotany? How about It's Raining Seeds? Achievements - Oh, you know that with new content come new achievements to unlock. Of course, these new achievements are tied into Game Center so you can show them off to your friends.Furthermore, the app's developer (PopCap) assures Plants vs. Zombies fans that the "long-awaited Retina display update" is coming very soon.
