“Hooray!” said Lukas Beedle, 8, of Los Altos, California. “I was five when I started playing Plants vs. Zombies, and my mom and I played all the way to the end a bunch of times. I think she played it even more than I did. I love everything about Plants vs. Zombies, because it’s really funny and not scary and there are so many different ways to beat the zombies. I feel like I’ve been waiting for more plants and zombies for almost half my life – because I have!”
