Four more arcade games on one disc

The long-awaited Popcap Hits Vol. 2 will finally be hitting the shelves in Europe, after being announced way back in 2007. However, the selection of arcade games is slightly different to the North American version of the title:

Plants vs. Zombies
Plants vs. Zombies is the ultimate in tower defence gameplay. A mob of brain-loving zombies is about to invade your home and your only defence is an arsenal of zombie-zapping plants. Use peashooters, wall-nuts, cherry bombs and more to destroy zombies before they reach your front door. With five different game modes to choose from, there’s hours of entertaining gameplay available.http://www.trueachievements.com/customimages/004825.jpg

Zuma
Survive the ancient temple of Zuma in this fast-paced puzzle adventure. (Players are challenged to fire magical balls from their stone frog idol to make matches of three or more and clear a chain of balls before they reach the golden skull. Zuma is based on a simple gaming mechanic executed superbly and utilises a variety of pleasing visuals to deliver a compelling and entertaining puzzle game experience.http://www.trueachievements.com/customimages/004826.jpg

Heavy Weapon
Unleash side-scrolling shoot ‘em up arcade action at its best with Heavy Weapon. Fight through 19 story-based missions to upgrade six different weapon banks, or jump into instant action in Survival mode. Or work with other players and storm across enemy lines to defeat bosses in co-operative multiplayer modes.http://www.trueachievements.com/customimages/004827.jpg

Feeding Frenzy 2: Shipwreck Showdown
Play Feeding Frenzy 2 solo or with friends, dodge predators and eat your way up the food chain to save the sea in this sequel to ‘Feeding Frenzy’. The sequel features new fish and sixty new levels. Other features also include your fish now having the ability to jump out the water, giving you the ability to catch prey that will not see you coming.http://www.trueachievements.com/customimages/004828.jpg

PopCap Hits Vol. 2 is due to be released on March 11th, 2011. Popcap Hits Vol. 1 was released on February 18th.

Plants vs Zombies and Heavy Weapons are the only real good ones. Zuma is crap and FF2 is ok if ya have young ones.

Pop Cap should have released more games on XBLA. Coz titles (Zuma, HWeapon) are pretty old already. And the others - bejeveled, peggle etc. are owned by all of us I guess :D

Plants and Frenzy are OK.

Anyway... I will grab it as I want Plats vs. Zombies on my console (I own it on PC.. but want to try some achievements :D )

What is the RRP of this?
My forum posts are probably not worth paying attention to.

Senor Slurpee said:Plants and heavy weapons is the only real good ones there. Zuma is crap and FF2 is ok if ya have young ones.Zuma is most certainly not crap. Extremely addictive, and very difficult towards the end, Zuma is a classic. Which brings me to the point that I wanted to make. For releases such as this, I think that developers/publishers should really just stick to brand new games/sequels/recently released games not older ones that the majority of people will already have bought.

I know it is addictive on the comp but I find that, at least for me, the controls aren't smooth at all so the aiming is just horrible.

Funny how there is always somebody who bought the game(s) the day before for things like this and Dotw... :P Heavy weapon is certainly addictive, wasn't a fan of feeding frenzy.

Zuma is terrible and I already have Heavy weapon, dislike tower defence types and Feeding Frenzy is just not my cup of tea

I don't think that this pack is as good as the other one although I haven't got any idea of what Heavy Weapon is like. Any more positive reviews for Heavy Weapon other than the couple already here?
