The competitive undead gardening game Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 will soon offer curious-but-uncommitted gamers an opportunity to play for ten hours at no charge—very soon, for those on consoles, and somewhat later if you'd rather stick with the PC.
We didn't review Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, but a few other places did, and they seemed to like it pretty well. And as Shaun noted back in April, the first time EA put this offer on the table, ten hours is more than some folks will want to spend on the game in the first place. It's a pretty good deal, in other words.
Unfortunately, while the freebie is available for the Xbox One and PS4 right now, the mouse-and-keyboard squad will have to hold out until August 16. The offer will end, for all platforms, on August 30, but the ten-hour timer won't start ticking down until you begin playing. The announcement also says PvZ:GW2 is on sale for half-price, but Origin still lists it at the full $60 price. That will probably go down when the free period begins on the PC.
