Has anybody had experience downloading these games? Do they put alot of gunk on the cmptr? I've just played Plants vs Zombies and Zuma's Revenge demos and really like them especially the Zuma one. Z's Revenge is on a disc but does it play on Win7. Zuma deluxe does and I play that most every day - most enjoyable. They are good games to close the nighttine on.

I do not care for them. They install tracking devices in order to see your online activity so they can direct advertisers your way. Privacy Policy

Wow, thanks Ana. I won't download anything from them ever - it could get sticky. That's a shame they do that because they are an old company.
Their policy certinly gives them leverage.

MOst do that, I am afraid. That is why I limit myself to BigFish, BigSea and SpinTop.

I use Big Fish. But I am waiting for the release of Decay, since it is a download game.

Hi, I use Wild Tangent. I haven't had any problems weith them. They have both of the games you mentioned. I had a blast playing Plants vs Zombias. My favorite plant was the watermellon catapult. It squashed a bunch of Zombies at once :]]]] maryjo

Wildtangent uses web beacons to track your activities and searches online just like pop cap games goes.

Maybe I'll stick with Spintop. Bigfish is popular here but I've been bombarded with emails since I visited their site perhaps 3-4 times and downloaded 1 hog game. Still prefer the discs - maybe Amazon has them.
Alot of Wild Tangent games on this cmptr when I bought it, why didn't they include Plants/zombies game?
Thankyou for all the input everybody.

Yankee, you can turn off the BF emails. That is simple to do. If they are spam mail from somewhere else, it's not from BF.

Ana, I will do that. So often I miss the obvious. For some reason I feel comfy with Spintop.

A friend of mine joined king.com which is a pop cap gaming site. I have looked on her computer and can't see a file anywhere. How can I make sure that the tracking stuff is not lurking in the background??

If you downloaded from there the clear gifs that track your browsing habits are there. You would have to clear all your cookies and clean the computer but as soon as you go to start the game it would be back.
