The show is actually quite amusing, there's a lot of Rare humour in there, that's clearly intended for older viewers.
And the game was brilliant, hopefully on the DS it will get some of the respect it deserved. Very fun game, very original. It's a little sad to see so many Rare haters these days, simply because they now work for Microsoft. They still make really great games, and Viva Pinata is among the best they've ever made.
Even Perfect Dark Zero wasn't that bad, it just suffered from the extended development time, and constantly switching platforms.
