Prepare to defend your lawn! Plants vs. Zombies on the DS has finally been given a UK date.

Mastertronic has announced that the successful PopCap Games title Plants vs. Zombies will finally hit UK shelves on 6th May. The title has been available in America for several months but it is finally making its way over to the UK.

Plants vs. Zombies is a tower defence game that has been incredibly popular since its original release on the iPhone. The official press release just mentions the UK so it is unclear when and if it will be released in the rest of Europe.

"Plants vs. Zombies is the fastest-selling iPhone/iPod strategy game of all time, selling 300,000 copies in the first nine days it was available on the App store. With such a proven track record on a portable platform, we're delighted to bring Plants vs. Zombies to the world's most popular handheld gaming device, the Nintendo DS."
