I had to jump on here and post this quickly.  It’s a commercial for the upcoming Viva Pinata game.  For those of you who aren’t in the know Viva Pinata is a strategy game in which you try to raise Pinata shaped animals and a garden for them to live in.  It’s a fun game and the sequel looks to be just a s good as the original.  If you’ve never seen any of the Halo 3 promotional videos you may want to watch this one first.

Kotaku brings us news from a Microsoft survey in which the results show that gaming in the nude, while not commonplace, is at least happening!  Now I’ve played my DS in the car, at the doctors, etc but never buck naked.  I’m curious to find out what kind of games they are playing.  I wonder if it’s a paticular genre that is best played in your birthday suit?
