"Perhaps Brodie Bruce put it best when he said “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned for Sega”. Indeed, there is a social stigma that goes along with being a gamer that seems to be at its worst when dealing with the fairer sex. It’s clear that there are female gamers out there, but unfortunately the majority of them just don’t have a spot in their life for a 360.

On one of Microsoft's press sites, an upcoming Viva Pinata title was revealed as "Trouble in Paradise". Along with the name and confirmation of a new game in the franchise, we also have seven screens. It looks like we'll have different climates to raise our Pinata in, along with possible co-op?

No new details about the PC version were announced, and it was not announced whether the Xbox 360 spin-off Viva Pinata: Party Animals will ever be seen on PC. The Xbox 360 game was a highly-rated kids game supported by the cartoon series of the same name, offering sim gameplay featuring cute Pinata anima..."
