Cooking Mama for DS

[TofuNinja]

Being a cooking fan a huge Nintendo DS fan I picked up this game for 20 bucks. I've had a blast with it. It is a one player game and is pretty much a time killer. You use the stylus to prepare food both American and Japanese. It is a lot harder than it looks but a lot of fun...stupid dumpling wrapping. This game won IGN.com's best of show!! You start off with 11 recipes and as you complete them and are judged by Mama you unlock more recipes. Then you can combine your recipes to make even more dishes and even practice your skills. If you like cooking you should try this game out it really uses the touch screen technology of the DS WOOT!

my wife asked me about this game... she and i both thought it was a strange concept.

tofu, do you think playing the game actually helps with cooking in real life?

no, but it is really fun and a time killer and harder than it sounds. not a bad pick up for 20 bucks...kinda like Electroplankton in a sense.... and now I am having a hard time finding Electroplankton.
