Piñatas. Olé. - a list by Alyson

About this list:
No other object so perfectly straddles the cute-creepy continuum and has the payoff of being something you're supposed to bust up with a baseball bat or, as I point out here, a special piñata-smashing tool. I am obsessed.

Viva Pinata 2: Trouble in Paradise (Xbox 360)
First to recommend
Description
I shed a tear as I make this recommendation... a tear of joy that there exists another, better Viva Pinata, a tear of sadness that I won't be buying Viva Pinata 2 anytime soon because I have what some might call a "problem" with this romancing-and-gardening digital paradise, in that "leaving the house" didn't happen much when I was involved with Viva Pinata 1.
But you, you should get this game. It is visually exquisite, and it involves exotic mating dances, flora, creatures of all stripes, spots and scales, the chiaroscuro of good-versus-evil and candy, mountains and mountains of crunchy dime-store suckers. Oh, and also shopping.
...And also, and here's the kicker, you never never ever lose. And you're never doing the wrong thing. It just goes on and on and on (and on) (for 6 hours) (I'd know).
As they say on Pinata Island, "Filled with fun... FILLED WITH FUN!"

Description
Viva Piñata! It's a fiesta for your couch... An open-ended game where activities include gardening, romancing piñatas and shopping. One of the piñata's homes is furnished with what can only be described as a stripper pole. There are funny hats. There is death. And candy. Lots of candy.
Xbox 360 only.

Hi ya! It's a blackbelt karate kung fu master pinata... talk about cultural fusion! And irony (a 6 year old could take him down)!
Apparently, this pinata talks back when you hit it. I can only imagine what it would say...

Description
Ha ha ha... a COW pinata. It's so obvious that you would put milk chocolate in it but don't you kind of want to fill it with hamburgers or something else beefy? What about delicious chocolate milk cartons?

When any old broom handle/baseball bat/semi-automatic weapon just won't do, go with this festive piñata buster!

Mermaid Pinata

Description
She's so glamouous yet so creepy. I have a slightly less frightening one who's stuffed with tamarind candy and ready for bustin'. Is it wrong to serve fish tacos at the party where she will meet her demise or fitting? Hard to say...
