Viva Pinata

In a nutshell: Ex-Nintendo developer Rare is bringing a rather different style of game to the Xbox 360 as you tend a virtual garden to attract and tame magical talking pinatas. It may sound twee but its ability to addict is far more powerful than its cutesy graphics suggest. The lowdown: Unlike most first party Xbox games this is not an action game, but a gentler, more family friendly, simulation in the tradition of Animal Crossing. The basic premise is that you have a plot of land that you can turn from an overgrown mess into a beautiful garden. In so doing it will attract a range of 60 different pinatas who, depending on how you treat them, will then decide to live there. For something as simple as a pinata worm you just have to have a patch of earth for them to play in but other pinatas...
