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…

Screenshots from the DVD version of The Fellowship of the Ring at 480p compared to a 1080i HDTV broadcast of the same film show a staggering and dramatic difference.
