As the title implies - change your favourite video game, RPG, or board game to something totally different by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter. For instance, Plants Vs. Zombies could become… **Plants V. Zombies** : rather than fighting it out tower defense-style, you must take over this in-depth RPG as the attorney for one side or the other as they engage in a protracted legal battle over rightful ownership of the house. (And the owner’s brains.) ---
