Mario Lopez, Gamelife and Destructoid: A match made in Viva Pinata heaven
World Famous12.03.08 - 12:41 PM 17 comments

It's official, we're big time. A.C. Slater has gone ahead and deemed it so. Big thanks to Melissa from Gamelife for taking the time to put together this great video of the Viva Pinata event in Santa Monica over the weekend. Visit Gamelife here and enjoy the video. Thanks again Melissa, we owe you one!

Also keep watching the video, because a Viva Pinata spokesperson reveals that Viva Pinata is gonna get even bigger, even with possible Xbox Live support. 

Hi-res video is here

Lol, if Melissa had said the video was for Ogrish.com, Slater would have still said that's his favorite gaming site. :) Cool video still!...

You should seriously think about getting it. It's one of the most fun suprising games in a loooong time.

That first kid (about 2:30 in) is so going to be a write for like IGN when he's older. When asked for his rating on a 1-10 scale, he responds "Well I have to say that.... yeah i give it 10/10"

I tried to play Viva Pinata in a game store recently but after about 10 minutes the 360 crashed.
