Amidst all the April Fool's Day stories about Crocodeagles (Qualcomm), rogue AI that loves Pandas (Google), and more going on Wednesday, it was easy to look at PopCap's Web page and assume that the newly-revealed Plants vs. Zombies game was part of the April 1 fun. PopCap carried what many around the office considered to be a joke even further by including a hilarious music video for the game, as well as an optional Japanese version of the song! But it turns out that it's all real, and it's apparently the next big game from the maker of such insidiously addictive fare as Peggle, Bejeweled, and Bookworm.

PopCap isn't saying much beyond the initial reveal and that the game is coming out on May 5. But we did manage to ask PopCap spokesperson Garth Chouteau some questions, and he was kind enough to reply in a typically fun PopCap kind of way.
