So, you know how back in 2006 everyone was playing Viva Piñata? Well I wasn’t. It just looked a little too much like a ‘kiddies game’ so I left it well alone. As time went on more and more of my friends confessed to having played it, and one evening not so very long ago, when bored with my game collection, I decided to download it from XBL (after all, spending MSPs isn’t like spending real money…) and moments later I was kinda hooked…
Viva Piñata grabbed my attention and all I could think about was getting these piñatas to stay and make my garden all pretty… If I’m honest, this captivation didn’t last as long as it perhaps could have, but for a few weeks at least my evenings were spent gardening and looking after my new found pets. Read on to see why I would recommend this game to any of you who haven’t yet connected with your inner child and given it a go…
This has been pushed really hard of late on tv over here, so I thought I’d download the demo of Brutal Legend and give it a go, see if it was worth all the hype. I have to admit, I was quite looking forward to it. I do like a lot of Jack Black’s stuff, and thought this looked quite funny and entertaining from the adverts, so I had pretty high hopes. I now feel a bit like I do when I come out of an overhyped film – it just didn’t live up to its promise. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t all that.
