Ok, I might come off sounding like an absolute fool but until recently, I actually didn’t know that Xbox 360 was Microsoft. Yes, yes, can you tell I’m not a hard core gamer? (and I actually OWN a unit!) I enjoy the occasional arcade or third person adventure game but ask me anything about platforms and you will likely hear crickets.

One of the games that was really hyped up last year was Viva Piñata but when I actually watched a sample of it, I honestly didn’t see the appeal of this simulation game. So when I heard about Viva Piñata Party Animals, I didn’t give it a second thought…until I actually tried it. Turns out, it’s just the type of mindless fun that I enjoy at the end of a long day. I guess there were many other who shared my sentiment about the original game.

That is one of the features of this video, as well as Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action. I’ve got the original board game and although it’s not bad, I don’t take it out much. The video game version of it is much more appealing, and if you see the sample in the video, you’ll see what I mean.

Those of you that are computer gamers, we haven’t left you out. Check out the video to see the two expansion packs that are now available for two already popular games. And finally, there’s the Sidewinder Gaming Mouse, which is the craziest mouse I’ve ever seen! It’s designed for the gamer, and as such, comes with all sorts of bells and whistles. I’ve never seen anything like it.
