PopCap Games, known for turning players into zombies with games like Bejeweled and Peggle, is set to actually make a game about zombies. It won't be Left 4 Dead or RE5 industrial-grade undead blasting, though – in true PopCap form, this zombie-fest will be family friendly ... and likely quite, um, infectious.
Speaking to TheBBPS, PopCap's Garth Chouteau said that the game, due in "a few months," would be "worth the wait." He calls it the "zombie apocalypse, The PopCap way; no blood, no gore, but blood-curdlingly fun and addictive just the same." So ... match four decapitated heads? Or, more seriously, something like The Last Guy? Take your best shot at what you think its gameplay will be like in comments. And remember: the zombie apocalypse will happen, someday.

Could be pretty violent then. That game had fish eating other fish. Looks like a perfect element to carry over into their zombie game.

Maybe a puzzle game like a top down lemmings where you need to place your zombies to convert the humans based on special zombie skillz?

My guess is some boring, generic puzzle game or something in the vicinity of 'ZombiePox'

You know, the game would probably be the same if it had kittens in it, but because it's zombies everyone goes nuts and PopCap makes another 40$ billion dollars.

This Zombie skin looks less scarier than the crazy smiling bat in the pumpkin character levels....
