Just purchased GoW:CE and Viva Pinata

I haven't had time to play them yet, but this weekend I look to set aside some time to try them out.

You will curse and love at the same time Gears Of War. Great game.

Viva Pinata still haven't played yet.

Viva Pinata will go down as one of the greatest games no one ever played. Right beside Beyond Good & Evil.

It is an outstanding game.

Agreed, Pinata is addictive. I bought it to play with my daughter and have found myself sitting there for hours playing by myself.

I second that. At first, I started playing to "help" her get it up and running. After three hours had gone by and I was still playing, I realized I wasn't just playing it for her anymore.....

A nice change of pace from the shooters and other games I usually play....

I love Viva Pinata, and it actually got my wife to pick up a controller. Still havnt bought it, probably should, but i get 2 free Blockbuster game rentals a month, and just keep renting it, keeping it a week over due, bring it back, and rent it again the next week.

I played gears for a bit last night at casual difficulty, and playing it reminded me that I suck at action/adventure games. I haven't been any good at these kind of games since Quake II. Makes me wish there was a level easier than "casual" like "noob".

And, Viva Pinata was good but fast. I didn't really know what I was doing, but I managed to get to level 5 after a couple of hours of pressing buttons.

Live Arcade is more my speed. UNO, Hexic, Crystal Quest, Ms. Pacman and such are easy to play for a quick gaming session whenever I want.

I must be getting old as I've been playing more DVD's than games on my 360.

GOW is really good and addictive, I agree with blueaurora, you will curse and love this game so many times...
As for the difficulty, give it some time, once you get familiar with the commands you will be shooting those locusts like crazy!!!
