Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville hands-on — It’s time for cute combat

Close to the 10th anniversary of the zany Plants vs. Zombies, Electronic Arts is launching a new game in the series: Plants vs. Zombies: The Battle for Neighborville. Yes, there will be zombies on your lawn again.

I played the game at the recent Gamescom fan event in Cologne, Germany, and it brings back some memories of good old-fashioned cute combat. I like the art style, which is a blend of cartoon imagery and hyper-real physical environments. Indeed, for a cartoon, it looks so real.
