Viva Pinata wins Parents' Choice Award - Image 1Inter-piñata breeding is apparently loved and approved of by our mommies and daddies. That's right kiddies. Viva Piñata just won this year's top Parents' Choice Award. We've also heard Bill Gates approve of Rare Ltd.'s piñata gardenry game as well, so maybe some other parents follow suit.

If you're curious, other titles which also won the hearts of parents were Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam (Wii and DS), Backyard Basketball 2007, and Animal Genius. From the looks of things though, Parents' Choice Awards are given to those games that feature... animals ("animals" here, would be ana-morphically defined loosely though). Remember last year's award-winner? Animal Crossing: Wild World bagged the top award, and now we have Piñata.

Anyone want to guess next year's winner?

Not this years, but last years. Animal Crossing won a parents choice award?



A game that (and I say this as a fan of the game) promotes greed, avarice, the constant pursuit of material possessions, and that teaches you you can buy friendship.



Whatever parents are on the panel clearly never played the game.

» I don't think they played this game either.

That damn game STILL needs a patch to fix a multitude of breaking issues. Prize pinatas poofing after being sent to a party or going invisible, never to return, isn't very kid friendly.
