Ever since Plants vs. Zombies turned into a multiplayer shooter in Garden Warfare, I somehow manage to forget that it's a thing that exists in the world. I guess that my subconscious is trying to protect me from the idea of EA taking a cute and quirky franchise and turning it into a multiplayer shooter filled with references to other EA franchises. That does sound like the perfect recipe for a trainwreck, doesn't it? And yet, if you ask someone who has actually played it, they'll likely tell you it's not a trainwreck at all. Some people actually think it's fun. Go figure.
During my bouts of amnesia I missed the fact that Garden Warfare 2 [official site] is out, and after two weeks it's already received the first of many promised content updates and balance fixes, bringing a new map, new activities, and "lowered time as a goat." I wonder if that's a good thing.
