I call shinanigens on this list as Viva Pinata was not in it! Ticks more of the "cutest, brightest & most lovable" boxes then Super Smash Bros at least

It was actually really hard to limit ourselves to just five games for this particular day of the buyer's guide. In the end, I gave the nod to AC simply because I'd already extolled the virtues of Viva Pinata on this site many times...hopefully folks remember and took it to heart.

Wow. Not a single PC or XBox360 title. I guess those platforms are usless now. :)

I actually sat somewhere in the middle of the two Lego categories; while my collection of Lego parts ended up being a mess, I retain many of my best constructions, which have been made structurally strong by design, including a crazy-looking but surprisingly solid dropship. They sit on a shelf in my room, testament to the sort of time-wasting activities that I like to do.
