Microsoft can't keep a lid on anything right now, as the deluge of information preceding tomorrow's Gamer's Day keeps on tumbling out. With a pair of sequels revealed, along with the titles of two seemingly original IPs, there are a lot of beans spilled (where else do they spill?), and we're here to lick them up off the ground like the dirty rats that we are.
Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Viva Piñata, a highly original and charming little game that sadly didn't sell too well. Check out the screenshots below. It certainly looks like things have expanded a little since we last saw the candy-stuffed monstrosities. As well as Viva Piñata, it's also been revealed that there will be a sequel to Scene It! That's nice, I suppose.
As if that wasn't enough, two original titles have surfaced as well, but sadly that's all they are -- titles. The names of two games have been uncovered, and nothing else, leaving one to speculate for today. All we know right now is that they are called Ninja Blade and Lips.
Lips?
I dread to think what that latter game could be about, but we're bound to find out the grisly truth of it soon, so stay tuned!

I'm thinking....YUM...GUIN.
Yumguin!
Dude, I'm lovin' them Yumguin's.
So the game seemed to sell more like a Wii game, through legs than through openings.
That's the word I was going fer.
That's the word I was going fer.
Are you sure?
Because that sounds like an awesome game to me.
Anyone know who is developing the new Pinata game?
They even had a poll what Pinata animal did everyone want, Penguin was a top vote getter. Personally, I always wanted a Pinata Platypus.
The Scene It! announcement is not such a good one. What happened to the devs taking advantage of the XBL marketplace to release expansions, etc.? I'm not excited about the idea of dropping $60 for what is essentially a set of new questions. I have no interest in playing online or anything either, so I doubt there are new modes that would justify a whole new release. If they want to have Scene It: Sports or TV or whatever, why not just do it as downloadable content?
