Nurture your garden, raise animals, give them names, and then feed them to each other: despite the sunshine and green grass, Viva Piñata has always been quietly shocking. Sure, this is a game that lets you make friends with a Fudgehog – but if that relationship doesn’t work out, you can also batter him over the head with a shovel and watch as his insides are picked apart by his furry...

The core of Pocket Paradise has gamers tending to an abandoned garden. The garden, once full of life, is now devoid of it. In order to generate interest from the local piñatas, players must perform a variety of tasks, the most basic and first of which is cleaning up the garbage-filled garden. Completion of this chore will attract players' first piñata visitor, a Whirlm. Upon receiving...

Months had passed since I last used my DS for personal gaming. It certainly isn’t because I’ve lost interest in the handheld. Recent releases just hadn’t sparked my interest the way older games did. Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise changed that, and I haven’t been able to put down my DS because of it. I received the game from [...]

This week, Tracy and Angela from LesbianGamers.com tell you why you should never become emotionally attached to your piñatas in their review of "Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise" for the Xbox 360.

To be bluntly honest I would happily give Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise a big fat 10 if it would move people off their collective arses and get them into a shop to buy the god-damn game. Yes, I know that goes against everything that is good and holy and gaming journalism, [...]

As a MAJOR fan of the Viva Pinata game for XBOX 360 (in fact, it is the reason I got an XBOX instead of a PS3), I was super excited when I heard earlier this year, that they were making a similar version of Viva Pinata for DS. Well, the game is out, and I [...]

The bad news is that Trouble in Paradise feels more like a special edition of the first Viva Piñata than a fully fledged sequel. The good news is that it’s still as addictive as ever, and the new refinements make for a better game. It’s a lot harder to unlock the achievements this time round [...]
