Over the past week and a half, our gamesblog inbox has overflowed with entries for the Viva Piñata competition, and I'm pleased to say that the winner has been chosen after much deliberation between myself, Greg and Keef.
We chose this particular winner because we felt he (yes, it was a he) got the balance of sincerity and surrealism just right. From the submission:
Radi-ant: With a healthy green glow and a rear mounted geiger counter (complete with sound effects), hazmat helmet and safety boots
Topical, no?
Other excellent runners up include:
jagdev kenth for his suggestions for Cinnamonkey, Gooba, Jameleon and Jagular (and their awesome descriptions)
Lemuel for Mooringue (a Moozipan, but wearing a suit of sort of plate armour to make it hugely tough; sort of, in that for the meringue style it would have to be white and the edges of the plates look like the cracks you get
in the top of a pavlova), the Secret Squazzil (With a long overcoat and hat, dark glasses; the ever necessary corsage/newspaper so he can be easily spotted by other spies and the ubiquitous spies briefcase) and the Disco Doenut (Sporting a multi-coloured afro, enormous star shaped glasses, uber high platforms and of course some gittery flares, this disco diva has more funky moves than a taffly on fire!)
Benjamin Wood for Treagle Tart (based on Eaglair: Feather Boa and nothing else.)
Marion Hayter for Jamonimo (Unsuccessful parachutist - Flight goggles on a lemming, based on Lemmoning)
And so congratulations are in order to Chris Jones, who's leaving the party with a copy of the game, an Xbox Live Vision Camera and an exclusive Viva Piñata Card, designed by the artists at Rare. Three cheers!
Stay tuned for more competitions forthcoming. We're on a roll.
