I went looking for a copy of Forza 2 on the weekend and the cheapest version I could find was actually a second hand 2 for 1 pack that included Forza 2 and Viva! I honestly never expected to play Viva Pinata at all, although after getting annoyed at Forza, I loaded it up.

Lets just say that what I thought would be a quick 10min play session turned out to be 5 and half hours straight. I'm really mad at myself for overlooking this title for so long! It's now one of my favourite games in my collection. I'm thinking of going out this weekend and buying the game in its original box and picking up a copy of Part Animals.

I'm at a point now with my PC that upgrading any parts in it would result in a small performance increase, at best. However it's here that I've come to realise that trying to get my PC to run the latest games was half the fun for me. Now with the knowledge that my PC will max pretty much every game for the next year, the thrill I used to get from seeing my struggling PC cope with all the modern games is gone.

The challenge is gone...
