    Viva Pinata (XBOX 360) Impressions

    Viva Pinata released today and was wondering what people thought of the game that have played it or are going to over the weekend. This is one title I've been interested in, but must hold off with GOW out, and SDvR + Wii on the way.

    Here's some pics I found on the net of the case:

      It took me some tracking down but I finally found a copy. I'm just entering the "Garden" now, the graphics look really wild, like a cartoon or something, pretty amazing looking. I am ashamed to admit I'm playing this before I boot up Gears of War, LOL.

        I may sell GOW to get Viva!, R6, or College hoops.

              Bryan, you need to give GOW a few more Act's. I'm at the end of Act 2 and the game is just great.

              The game just gets better and better as you go along.

                I've been reading and hearing some very positive impressions about this game. People seem to really like it. I just got finished listening to the 1UP podcast, and Editors Luke Smith and Jon Davidson are really enjoying it. Jon says it's Rare's finest moment in awhile.

                I might pick it up this weekend.

                    Viva Microtransactions!
                    Does your Piñata need two more hats?




                    To celebrate the launch of the surprisingly addictive Viva Piñata, Microsoft has released downloadable content on Xbox Live. The Viva Piñata Accessory Pack 1 is not a free offering, as some might expect. Instead, this is one of the first (of many) microtransactions to hit the Xbox Live Marketplace.

                    For 90 gamer points ($1.12 US), gamers can get two new hats. As lovely as the Accessory Pack's Juno Helmet and Vela Wig may be, it's not any easy cost to justify. Microsoft is still trying to get a sense of appropriate pricing for microtransactions. Here's a tip, MS: Two measly hats aren't worth $1.12. A Godzilla piñata is worth $1.12. Especially if he comes with a sombrero.

                    Upon viewing the Accessory Pack, IGN Editor Erik Brudvig said, "What's this crap?"*

                    You can find out what this crap is, if you're willing to pay. That choice, and the fate of all microtransactions, rests in your hands

                      The commercial for the game is pretty good.

                          Ha, that commercial was sweet. Looks like an interesting and fun game. Kudos to Rare.

                              Damn straight I'd buy a Godzilla pinata w/ sombraro hat even though he'd eat my other pinatas.
