We don’t know about you, but we’ve been thinking a lot about pigs this week. It’s probably because we’ve read the word “swine” in almost every news headline. Apparently there’s this flu traipsing about that made this week’s terror alert in America. And while we hear it’s dangerous, yet incredibly treatable, this “immediate threat to our lives” shouldn’t keep you from enjoying the pigs we’re about to present to you. And no, it’s not because we’re hoping to stave off the viral outbreak by appeasing the pigs responsible. In fact, we at GamesRadar welcome our new swine overlords.

Above: Production Editor Carolyn Gudmundson sez: 

This one is pretty interesting because you get a Pigxie by romancing a Rashberry (pig) with a Swanana (swan). The pigxie looks really cute in still images, and he IS really cute in the game, but when you see him in motion, it’s kind of creepy/sad looking, because he’s obviously somewhat deformed… His legs are different lengths and he kind of hobbles around awkwardly, and he has wings but he can’t really fly very well… And there’s some joke in the game about some things not being intended by nature, etc… He’s still really cute though, you just feel kinda bad for him.
