Weekly Game Music: Zombies on Your Lawn (Plants vs Zombies)
Last on my Christmas video game music rush is full of zombies. Literally. Laura Shigihara’s Zombies on Your Lawn does an incredible job describing PopCap’s tower defense game, Plants vs Zombies.

Here’s Inugami Village(better translated, Village of the Dog God), composed by Yasunori Mitsuda. It’s from the JRPG, Shadow Hearts: Covenant, which has a strange retelling of World War I with demons and monsters. Shadow…
