This game brought a lot of joy for me when not a lot else could, and since the PC version was only on games for windows live there is no way really to play it anymore without buying an old xbox. having a way to play it again would be truly incredible and might bring new life to a series that deserves a second chance.
This game and its Sequel was way ahead of its time. In a world where Animal Crossing and Story of Seasons dominated Viva Pinata played a different tune. Simplicity of design with a robust system to lure pinatas into your garden. And to this day it's as beautiful to look at as anything in the genre. My wife had a blast with it and cant think of another game with as much heart as this one.
I borrowed this game from my cousin on the 360 and it left it's mark on me. I found out soon after that it was also released on PC.
The mix of Games For Windows Live and no storefronts selling it for years leaves a hole where this game used to be. With the rise of comfy games after Stardew Valley's release. It really leaves me wanting that this game is essentially unplayable without pirating and jumping through hoops to sidestep GFWL. It has always been a wish of mine that Viva Pinata and Trouble In Paradise became playable on PC on modern systems.
This was my first video game I ever played, I fell in love with it. Beautiful game with such cute gameplay and characters, there is nothing quite like it. Would love to see it come back.
I loved this game as a kid and always was fond of managing my garden of Pinatas. However, even with it at one point being on that failed Windows game thingy. I feel Microsoft may play ball with it and may allow people to experience this gem of a title.
I remember the first time I played Viva Piñata, it was unlike anything I'd ever experienced before. I was drawn into this colorful, whimsical world where I could create and care for my own garden, filled with adorable piñatas that would come to life and make it their home. The beauty of it wasn’t just in the vibrant world; it was the sense of responsibility I felt as I nurtured each garden, balancing the needs of the environment and the creatures living there. What made the game so special for me was how it encouraged creativity and strategy in such a relaxing, non-violent way. I spent hours tending to my garden, and every time a new piñata showed up or a rare one appeared, it felt like a small victory. Viva Piñata wasn’t just a game—it was a joyful escape that left a lasting impression on me and showed me how a game could be as nurturing and satisfying as it was fun.
I remember playing this game when I was 5 years old and having a blast figuring out how to make more pinata's appear and what I needed to meet the residency requirements. The music is beautiful and is a testament to Rare's sound team. I hope more people will truly be able to experience this game and give it the time it deserves, revitalizing the franchise as a whole.
I always loved the family members and Jardinero's story. People always talk about Banjo Kazooie and DK64 when talking about Grant Kirkhope's music but this might genuinely be some of his best work. I find Viva Piñata's ost to be nothing short of magical. Having this more readily available on pc would be wonderful and I'm pretty excited for the community reverse engineering project
My favourite childhood game. I remember I would pretend to be sick to stay home from school, just so I could play viva pinata. Such a creative game, such strong character designs, music, replayability. And a wonderful sense of whimsy to top it off. It would mean everything to me to be able to play this game again, and for it to be more accessible for others to discover!
I played both this game and it’s sequel for years until i lost the discs, which was one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life, because i no longer knew how to get ahold of it. I played it at my grandparent’s house, on my grandpa’s xbox, and when he got me and my sister our own, i played it there too. It was my favorite game for years, even above minecraft, because of how colorful it was. The character designs are incredible, vibrant, the story, as simple as it is, is incredibly compelling. I miss this game every day.
Shin Megami Tensei IIFifty years have passed since the hero of Shin Megami Tensei followed the neutral path, defeated the leaders of Law and Chaos, and founded a state where followers of both ideologies could live freely. But his reign of freedom doesn't last long. The Messian faith gains power, expanding the Cathedral into a new enclosed environment named Tokyo Millennium. The Gaians rise up, but their rebellion is repressed by the Messians' elite warrior class, the Temple Knights. People flock into the encapsulated city, submitting themselves to the strict hierarchy imposed by the Messian Center, where only the privileged living in the Center district are safe from demonic assaults.
A few years later, a retired arena fighter Okamoto rescues a man named Hawk, who was fighting for his life against a demon. He trains him to fight in the arena of the Valhalla district, hoping that he would win the tournament, which will grant them both citizenship in the Center district. When Hawk succeeds, he is brought before a Messian bishop, and learns the shocking truth about his own origins and the role he is supposed to play in the grand scheme of events. A new battle for a better future begins.
Shin Megami Tensei II retains all the gameplay features of the previous game. The player is able to summon demons, fuse them to create more powerful ones, make them participate in battles, talk to random enemies and receive information from them, etc. The combat is turn-based, and the player explores the complex, maze-like dungeons from a first-person perspective view. Like in the first game, the Law, Chaos, and Neutral alignments play an important role: during the course of the game, the player will have to make choices that influence the alignment of the protagonist, steering the storyline into different directions.
New features include a "magic succession" system, which allows demons to carry over their original magic spells when they are fused into new ones, a few additional spells and abilities, and the possibility to play at the casino and win unique items.Trending Fantasy Thriller Warfare Science fiction

Breath of Fire: Dragon QuarterBreath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is a radical departure from the previous titles of the Breath of Fire series, and in some ways from standard Japanese-style role-playing games in general. The game is built like a huge dungeon crawler, with no overworld map. The combat is tactical: each character has action points (AP), which can be used to move around the screen during an enemy encounter, and perform a variety of combo attacks. There is no magic in the game, and many of the items found in dungeons are random. All the enemies are visible on screen. Depending on who first initiated a physical contact, the party or the enemies get an extra turn in battles.
The game allows (and even encourages) the player to restart it from the beginning, keeping the items and the party experience. The game also features a special counter - Ryu can use his traditional dragon transformation abilities, but the counter raises with each such transformation, and when the counter reaches 100, the game is over. Raising the D-ratio allows characters to access new areas every time the game is replayed.Fantasy
