joeamis, they only say that because of lumines, so they got less bad press. If they could force you to pay for every hour you played a game, they would be thrilled. Remember Rare is part of Microsoft's studios. So obviously MS is ok with this. Wait for Viva Pinata DEUX! they will have 30 new .... 20 new pinatas in addition to these and then 1 new pinata a month for 5 dollars. For the next 10 monthes. GENIUS!

4 Kids, scares me. I've seen what they've done with other stuff and I can only imagine when they get into gaming. On the other hand it does sound novel enough to rival Animal Crossing at least for now.
