This the holdiday bundle for the Childrens Miracle Network (proceeds go to a charaty). It includes Viva Pinata: Party Animals, Shrek, and Sonic. These are all kids games, and my kids like all 3. They play Viva pinata the most (its kind of like Mario Party) but also has on-line multiplayer.

Today it is for $17.98, and that is a great price for 3 games. Just fill the cart to $25 and get free shipping. (I bought Cole Protocol -the new Halo book that came out today). I think the games are great stocking stuffers, and if you have friends with kids, consider breaking the pack up and give a game to 3 different kids (or keep 1 for yourself).

Remember that these games come to $6 each, the price of some of the cheaper arcade games on Live. Don't worry about the metacritic scores as most game score are based on full retail price of the games ($59.99 for Shrek and Sonic, $39.99 for VP:PA) and they truely deserve the low score, but for $6 these are blind buys for KIDS. Its almost the same price a a burger and supersized drink. As an adult you may not like them.

That sounds like a great deal but I can't keep my kids off my 360 now and they have a WII. Thats a great deal though

Bought, even though I have no interest in any of those games. Children's Miracle Network is a charity that I strongly support. Apart from volunteering at their charity drive in Sacramento, I also make monthly donations to this cause.

these crappy games arent really the point. not really a charity guy because most the money seems to get kinda "lost". my daughter has all 3 of these games but i bought 2 of these anyway and goozexed her games. im familiar with this organization, dont remember how i came across them(10 years back) but seemed like good peeps and obviously good cause. saw a guy had a review on amazon about this game sale and he said he couldnt believe they were pushing these crap games in the name of a charity, wasnt even the real viva pinata. happy holidays douche bag!!!!
