I can cook well with Cooking Mama

Advantages: cute graphics
Disadvantages: repetitive

...a few dozen minigames in Cooking Mama, and the dishes themselves are made up of a wide variety of foods, from sandwiches to steaks. There are 76 dishes in all. There are 3 Game modes in this game 1. Let's cook. In this mode you go through steps to prepare your dishes, some steps are extremely easy and others slightly harder. After you make a dish, it is graded, and awarded a bronze, silver, or gold medal. You can always re-cook a dish to get a better ...
...that’s keeping you from successfully cooking a dish. The graphics are pretty good. The colors are bright and some foods do look quite real. The sound effects are pretty accurate for things like chopping, peeling, and boiling noises. However the music is annoying and repetitive. In this game, you use your stylus to perform various timed cooking tasks. The microphone is also used as a control feature of the game for cooling down food. When you blow ...

This Little Piggy Went To... Fly a Kite?!

Advantages: Instantly familar look and feel for Peppa fans
Disadvantages: Limited re-playability. Some fiddly bits.

...BIT ABOUT PEPPA Peppa is a little girl pig with her own animated series that airs daily on Channel Five and Nick Jr. Each five minute episode is aimed squarely at the pre-school market, and like all “good” kids TV franchises, Peppa has spawned a cornucopia of merchandising running the gamut from plush dolls, DVD’s, toys, games to the now inevitable character tie-in computer game. Peppa is something of a bossy boots and has a veritable menagerie ...
...is presented with the recognisable Peppa Pig animation and character voices. On most of the games, you can choose “free play”, or the more challenging option of a “timed” game. Playing and achieving a certain aptitude unlocks additional content, giving kids a palpable sense of achievement and reward. You can play either as Peppa or baby brother George, but game play does not differ depending on the character It’s only function appears to be to allow ...

Review of Mario Kart DS (Nintendo DS)

It's a new me

Advantages: It's Mario, it looks lovely, sounds brilliant, plays well
Disadvantages: A little easy, a little short, a little lacking in possible DS features

...The game also introduces some new power ups to the mobile Mario series as well as the Super Mario and Fire Mario forms, there's also a blue shell power up to turn Mario into Shell Mario, there's a Mega Mushroom to turn Mario in to Mega Mario and theirs also a small blue Mushroom that turns Mario into Mini Mario. These can be used to go through levels in different ways, with some routes only being available to Mini Mario. Overall the gameplay is ...
...player only needs to complete 6 of the 8 worlds so it is rather short and it's not particularly tough to play through, there are a few difficult sections but on the whole it's actually quite simple and you'll be through it in a few days which is a bit of a shame. Though it must be said it does look rather pretty the backgrounds are smooth and well created whilst the foreground graphics are colourful, attractive, smooth and yet eloquently chunky. ...
