Yay! Go Pinatas! Viva Pinata 2: Trouble in Paradise is the sequel to one of my favorite games on the Xbox 360. The first one I believe surprised many people in how colorful and fun it was so I’m excited that we’ll be revisiting the land of pinata. And the best part is that it’s being developed by the same people who brought you the first one, Rare Ltd.
An exciting, new “Just for Fun” setting makes getting into the game fast and easy. For the first time, players will be able to collaborate together on a garden through a rich co-op experience, connect and play with others online via Xbox LIVE as well as instantly introduce new piñata species to their garden through an innovative new feature utilizing the Xbox LIVE Vision Camera.

There are other games on tap for Microsoft’s showcase event today that I’m sure a few of you are already excited about. Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is finally in play and more information about Too Human, Gears of War 2, Fable 2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 will be given as well.
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise is scheduled for release this September.
