Women Gamers: Cooking Mama

Cooking Mama is a Nintendo DS game that teaches you how to cook! Well, it teaches you how to cook Japanese. Mmmmm. I want sushi now.
I fail at cooking, so maybe I should pick this one up.
You are given real recipes and they can actually be made after you are done playing the game. I recommend this game for everyone that wants to improve their cooking skills. It is not just a game for little girls. A cook or gamer at any level can enjoy this charming game.
You play as a chef’s apprentice. You need to learn the skill sets for preparation. Then you are able to test those skills and make the dish. The game not only teaches you valuable kitchen skills but it is fun, thoroughly addictive and tasty!
Women Gamers’ Geek Woman reviews this seemingly charming little game breaking it down to: Impressions, Graphics (not mindblowing), Gameplay, Enjoyment (fun!), and rounds it up with the marketing efforts its made toward attracting women.
This is very obviously a game that was designed for little girls. It is a fine ‘marketing to women’ accomplishment, with no trace of sexism.. It is something that both girls and ladies will enjoy. There is no avatar so there is no character to select. It is for women, while being inclusive enough to be fun for everyone.
I think I’d still prefer to watch the Food Network, though. I miss the Iron Chef (the original NOT I.C. America for that one sucks). Alas … no Food Network for me in the sad, sad world of la France. I’m going to go drown my sorrows in croissants.

Wow. sounds like a hard life!!
Terribly difficult. Woe is me.
how do u play i want to play please?
but Cat Cora is hot. that’s why I watch the first five mintues to see if she’s the chef ^_~
Hah, Cat Cora is never the chef. I think I saw her get picked once. It’s usually Bobby Flay or Mario Batali. I actually really enjoy watching Morimoto since he’s from the original. The others are just blah.
I´m almost done with cooking mama ds but i cant seem to win gold medal in one of the recipes its impossible!! after the one in the image once you pass that one..the next one is hard to fry!! i cant seem to get it..done..I need a cheat on that one..anyone knows?
