After a stressful day at work or a rough morning at home with the kids, sometimes all a parent wants to do is sit down, relax and regroup. PopCap games provide the perfect stress reliever. Whether you have a Mac or PC or prefer to play games on your iPhone, iPad or Android phone, you are likely to find a game to suit your relaxation and entertainment needs.
Bookworm
If you enjoy word games, play
Bookworm and try to make as many words as possible using the letters on the screen. As the bookworm chomps the words you make, new letters appear and tiles begin to burn. Quickly you will be lost in the game, flying to make words before all of your letters are engulfed in flames.
Availability: PC, Mac, iPhone / iPod Touch, Mobile, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, Online
Plants vs. Zombies
Perhaps your co-workers have made you particulary angry at the office. Work out your anger in a game of
Plants vs. Zombies. Pretend your co-workers are the zombies and use the zombie-zapping plants to keep them from invading your home or sapping your energy.

Peggle
Work your way through the 55 challenging levels of Peggle as you bounce balls off different pegs within the courses. With each level you pass in Peggle, you’ll feel an ounce of stress from the day melt away. You can even make Peggle a way to interact with your kids by playing in Duel Mode and gloating when you outscore them.
