So far I haven’t seen a whole lot of games on the Xbox360 that interest me. Developers usually take the easy route and wind up making FPSs, racing games, or sports games, and I can’t stand any of those.

The first screens of Viva Pinata were released today, and I have to say it looks pretty durn slick.

It’s nice to see next-gen hardware being used to create environments that don’t mimic real life for a change. I guess it all ties in to the Blue Sky movement. Colorful fantasy worlds almost always look cooler than real-life approximations.
