Via DenofGeek: "I am wearing a fake beard and dark glasses as I type this. A friend of a friend has arranged a safe house for me at a secret location somewhere in Kent. Last week, I churlishly added Zelda:Twilight Princess's Midna into a list of my least favourite video game characters, which, if certain internet forums are anything to go by, hasn't gone down well with some people. To all the disgruntled Midna fans out there, and to Midna's friends and family, I humbly apologise. Now please, can I take this fake beard off? It's starting to itch..
Still, it's not all bad news this week - after months of clandestine plans and strategies, I've finally managed to acquire a fabulous XBox 360. This might not sound like a big deal to most of you, but those who read my first ever column way back in the mists of time (okay, four months ago) may recall that Sarah, my better half, had flatly refused to let me have any latest generation console other than the Nintendo Wii."
Viva Piñata could well make a come back after Microsoft moved to renew the trademark, along with Blast Corps.
Rather see Banjo-Threeie
Hell a remake-revamp of Grabbed by the Ghoulies, great concepts, not executed the best but having everything around you as a weapon was great, with new tech they could get more creative
Microsoft has been gradually rebooting Rare IPs. I wouldn’t be surprised if MS announces another Rare IP reboot after Perfect Dark release in 2023-2024. Based on popularity you would think Banjo, Viva Piñata and Conker would be the next likely candidates for rebooting [or a new release].
Agree completely with you but Viva Pinata would be beautiful with modern graphics
This game rocked. It was so relaxing making a little garden and getting pinatas to... Dance with each other.

I actually don't want them. I'm not a big fan of Microsoft rehashing IPs they had nothing to do with creating just because they happen to own them.
Before you call me fanboy tell me a game they did that to that actually lives up the the original?
Just leave our beloved memories alone. You want to bring something back, redo crimson Skies or Brute Force. At least they were your games and they need updates.
I'm all for The Initiative rebooting perfect dark as a third person though, sounds like its trying something new and not just rehashing with a new coat of paint with this idea. Hope we see a tease of it in the next showcase.
Rumor is The Initiative is working on rebooting Perfect Dark in third person, normally I wasn't a fan of taking existing IPs but if its something new like this I'm up for it.
"such is its level of depravity; it contains animal cruelty, sex, violent death, and even incest"
I thought this article was about Viva Pinata. Not what Sony Droids do when not trolling on N4G.
Entertaining read, the guy has a good sense of humor. I can see his points about Viva Pinata as well. I don't think it would be harmful to children though. A childs knowledge of the world isn't on the same level as an adults. I was really suprised though myself how much the mechanics of the game simulated the actual circle of life.
Screw Gears of War, This game is BADASS.
