Plants vs Zombies creator George Fan creates zany new title Octogeddon

George Fan, the co-creator of the phenomenal hit Plants vs Zombies, is developing a new game called Octogeddon with his new indie game studio, All Yes Good. The new title is an arcade-style action game where a giant Octopus becomes angry and destroys the world.
