What's your favorite PopCap game and how come we don't have a PopCap collection?

I genuinely enjoyed Peggle.
I can't believe they never released this on PC.
The first PvZ is still their best game. They died for me when EA took over, though I did give PvZ2 a brief chance. It was a.. Mobile game.
I can't tell them apart any longer, when they morph into these weird schemes. It's like they're no longer individual games, which was the feeling I left with from PvZ2. Just another scheme.

I played a lot of Bookworm with my wife so that's probably the best one but for brainless stuff I think I might be a Zuma guy.
Insaniquarium
Chuzzle
Zuma
Those were my JAMS. If there were new versions, i'd play the hell out of them. Perfect games for listening to audiobooks.

PopCap was the GOAT browser game platform! Insaniquarium was my JAM!
Top 3:
1. Insaniquarium
2. Heavy Weapon
3. Typer Shark
Is there a big bundle of all the classic PopCap games? I remember seeing one on Steam a looong time ago, but it's gone now. I noticed they're all discounted currently all the way down to 99 cents each.

PopCap were awesome. My Mom used to play a ton of their games, notably the hidden object Mystery P.I. type of games, also Bookworm and Talismania.
Myself personally enjoyed playing Pizza Frenzy and Plants Vs. Zombies.

I really liked a few of old school, pre-Peggle PopCap games: Seven Seas, Mummy Maze, Alchemy. Played the browser versions and then purchased the novel-at-the-time digital deluxe full versions from their website.
Could never quite get into PvZ or Peggle; Heavy Weapon is my favorite "newer title" from PopCap. Also like Zuma but ended up getting more hooked on Luxor: Evolved a few years later (I know that sub-genre is quite clone crazy).

Going further back, both Bejeweled and Peggle had official versions that could be played within WoW in interface addons. I *think* the levels for that Peggle are unique too.
Peggle Add-on for WoW
World of Warcraft Addons, Interfaces, Skins, Mods & Community.
(and in looking those up again I notice that after being broken for ages, Peggle's been updated for modern WoW in both Classic and Retail flavours. I'm sorely tempted to reinstall...)
Also in WoW terms there's a semi-official nod to PvZ in the form of the "Peacebloom vs Ghouls" side quest:
Not explicitly PvZ, but pretty sure it was done fully with Popcap's blessing, because it rewards the Singing Sunflower pet:
...which includes the "There's a zombie on your la-awn" sound sample

Since everyone has done the obvious ones I'm going to shout out Heavy Weapon as a fun shmup style thing
PvZ is an all time great game and endlessly replayable for me. Also i just found out they made feeding frenzy!
I loved Astro-pop, but then I got into money puzzle exchanger and it kind of took over that part of my brain.
I had to vote for Peggle. I'm surprised that there hasn't been a straight up clone successor. Everything else seems to have a roguelike or rpg element applied over it.
Please don't make me choose between Insaniquarium and Feeding Frenzy! They're both absolutely beautiful, stupid concepts that I wish could be expanded upon.
Plants Vs. Zombies though I think is top tier, with Zuma and Chuzzle not far behind. Even my non-gamer mom and her sisters and friends got really into those.
I've also heard good things about Bookworm, Bejeweled and Peggle. I vaguely recall enjoying their demos long ago.

I picked PvZ but I mean the original tower defense version, not the action/shooter/multiplayer thing.
Right? I still play it from time to time.
And I appreciate that even a potato phone can run it just fine.
