Guide, Tips and Cheats for Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2

Book Synopsis: Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is a deceptively simple shooter — but that doesn't mean it's simplistic. Instead, PopCap Games pits its flora against undead fauna in a game that, as we said in our review, mixes "casual, cartoon aesthetics with a hardcore, team-based multiplayer shooter."
