I love to use terms such as “sugar-coated awesomeness” and “the sweet goo of life!” to describe my favorite games, but those overly sweet terms have to be forced into the sometimes rough and tumble world of Halo or God of War. Well, I don’t have to stretch an ounce of truth in describing this game - Viva Piñata is a chocolate-fueled delight of overwhelming proportions.

Who would have thought raising candy-laden piñatas could be fun? Attracting, breeding, grooming and ultimately destroying these tasty critters has become one of my favorite video game pastimes. From planting a Monkey Nut tree to attract my Cinnamonkeys to coaxing a shy Rashberry and Swanana to mate, birthing a bizarre flying pig creature, Viva Piñata is unbridled delicious fun.

If only the rumored animals had been true. To do a romance dance with a Yeti or building a glacier for a papier-mache’d penguin would be the only thing that could top this diabetes inducing treat.
