Gardening is pretty dull, unless you’re mad, old or both. So you might not think it’s the best pitch for a game. But then Viva Pinata comes along, full of dirty hoes, constant mating and general abuse of animals. Viva la watering can! ...

And you get one of historys greatest traditional RPGs, playable on the ...   » Read Full Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise preview

Sep 21, 2007

The handheld Viva Piñata promises to play the same on DS as it does on Microsoft's slightly more ...   » Read Full Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise preview
