Microsoft Game Studios and 4Kids Entertainment celebrated the introduction of "Viva Pinata: Party Animals," a high-energy, mass-appeal entertainment property created by Rare, that brings a vibrant world of living pinata animals to the already existing world of Viva Pinata, and beyond. The universe of the game showcases an engaging cast of colorful, wild-roaming pinata animals that entertain and challenge our imagination.

Although considered to be developed specifically for girls - actually that was what Bill Gates said about it - the game generally received positive reviews and, in true Microsoft fashion, a big sequel is expected to be released by the end of the year. More will come, probably.

We know that true gamers play all these games just for fun, as they should, and not in order to achieve specific point landmarks to prove to their friends they are very cool, but we also know that sometimes you just can't live without achieving everything possible with a title you really enjoy. If that's the case and you want to know exactly what to look for when it comes to this game, we have prepared a full list of achievements for you. Good luck!
