Like many other nine-year-old boys, Owain Weinert likes to horse around with his little brother, hang out with friends and is a self-described "gamer geek" (Avatar, Halo Reach and Lego Universe are his some of his favorites).

But -- unlike most other nine-year-olds -- Owain just spent a week architecting a video game in the Seattle offices of gaming company PopCap Games, maker of the popular Bejeweled and Plants and Zombies.
