PopCap trademarks 'YetiTrain,' we dig the possibilities photo

It appears as if Plants vs. Zombies won’t be the last new PopCap Games IP before the universe drops into oblivion in 2012. The casual company just slapped a trademark on YetiTrain, a name for an unknown piece of electronic software.

Barring that it is announced or indeed hits before said oblivion, it could be the greatest videogame ever created. Think about it: yetis and trains -- two of the metal-est things this side of sugar-free jam and bulldogs.

We obviously don’t know what’s up with the title. Trademarks don’t delve into details like mechanics, but that’s not stopping our imagination from firing in all sorts of ridiculous directions. Also, it hasn’t stopped our urge to ask PopCap what is up with this possible title. Expect an update if we nab a comment. Until then, feel free to discuss yetis and trains, and why both these things are so important.

I hope it involves the orient express being attacked and pillaged by hordes of yetis. Gameplay involves surviving waves of yeti's and opening up teleporters.

This will be a game about training your Yeti to be the best Yeti out of all the other Yetis.

I'm ready to hop on the YetiTrain, no questions asked. As far as that header image is concerned, that's the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

I have no ideas as to what this could be, but any news about PopCap making a new game is good news to me.

I don't know what it is, but something about that image is terribly delightful.

Wow. With this and the months-old announcement of Office Yeti, we're having a glut of yeti games coming out (okay, that's a terrible exaggeration). Video games about yetis are the new video games about zombies. I'm putting out that prediction right now.

Maybe Yeti are the new Zombie. I can see it now, Left 4 Yeti, Burn Yeti Burn, you'll get to shoot down Nazi Yeti in CoD:WoW2.
