There comes a time when a game falls right into your lap that you never imagined would. Then, you start playing it… and play it some more… then all of a sudden, something clicks: You think to yourself, “Wow, I didn’t know I needed this game in my life.” It’s a strange, eureka moment that I’m sure many of us have had. This is what happened when I decided to play, Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville, developed by PopCap Games and published by Electronic Arts.

Making the impossible, possible, all starts with a dream. Without dreamers, those who think of doing or creating extraordinary things, the world wouldn’t be what it is today. Because of this, following a dream takes bravery, which is fitting for a town-protecting hero like the one in Little Town Hero. The turn-based RPG Little Town Hero, from Pokémon franchise developer Game Freak, is all about a dreamer who wants to make his dream of seeing the world a reality. Not only that, but the game itself shows how the developers wanted to step out of their comfort zone, and, I’m…
