Advantages: Cooks 120 diffrent recipes.
Disadvantages: there is a timer and you have to do it before the time runs out!

...Cooking mama on ds is kind of easy to play, just follow the rules really.

Cooking Mama

Advantages: Fun & Addictive
Disadvantages: Repetitive For The Older Gamers

...Cooking Mama is a brilliant game for any age, however, it can get repetitive for the older gamers after a while. The game involves you making meals for Mama and she gives you a score out of 100 on how well you did, and depending on your score you can get a bronze, silver or gold medal. When you complete a meal it unlocks others for you to complete, and you can also combine different meals to make a new one. When I started to play this game I could not put it down because its so addictive to play. My favourite part of the game has definately got to be dicing and slicing different foods, however, I find peeling the shell off the boiled eggs really hard to do and still have yet to complete it! I don't know whether thats just me though that finds it so difficult!! Haha. Overall, it is very good value for money and I recommend this...

Get Cooking!

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...I've never been a good cook but after my friend let me have a go on her Cooking Mama game I had to buy it for myself! Basically, you have to make a dish and at the end you get a grade from cooking mama, depending on how well you make the dish. The grades are Gold, Silver & Bronze with Gold being the best, Bronze the Worst. Cooking Mama is similar to games such as Wario Ware because of the fact you will be given a short amount of time to complete simple actions which can be anything in Cooking Mama such as slicing, mixing, pressing food , grating & even pouring! All these actions are done with the Stylus by swiping, tapping, or scribbling on the DS screen. When finishing the action, if you finish it perfectly, Cooking Mama will tell you, you are Very Good with a small gold badge underneath it , If you did okay she'll tell you, you did...

Cooking Mama Review

Advantages: Innovative use of the DS controls
Disadvantages: If you're not a fan of cooking, you probably won't like it

...Cooking Mama challenges players to use their stylus as a master kitchen tool to cook lots of real world dishes ranging from pepperoni pizza to cabbage meat rolls. The game makes good and inventive use of the DS stylus and microphone with players use the stylus to chop, slice, pan fry, knead, grate, mash and peel. You can even share recipes with your friends via the DS's WI-FI settings, this gives the game extra depth as you try to out-cook your friends! This a break from traditional games as there are no levels to complete, no boss to beat and no power ups to collect, instead you cook a wide variety of dishes hoping to get approval from Cooking Mama. Each stage is timed adding excitement and even frustration at times as you try to make the best dish possible. Some of the tasks you wonder why you have to do them as they're so simple...

Cooking Mama DS - A Game For Everyone

Advantages: Bright - Vibrant and easy to play
Disadvantages: tedious, very tedious.

...I purchased Cooking Mama when it was released around Christmas time in 2006. It was not a game that I had asked for Christmas and while shopping it caught eye with its brightly designed and cartoon graphics on the front cover. I quickly picked up a copy and purchased it with delight. Cooking Mama is a cooking themed game that offers the player a chance to make 76 different recipes with an anime chef called cooking mama - Once you have made your recipes Cooking Mama will always rate how well you have done in creating different parts of the dish and how well you bring it all together. You go through the game doing different techniques such as pouring, chopping, slicing, frying, boiling, grating all the ingredients and cooking them correctly they give you t up and down. All is clearly shown to you and you can be shown various he...

Cooking but not as we know it

Advantages: a large variety of different activities/techniques to try
Disadvantages: A lack of apparent depth and ultimately not very fulfilling

...As a big food fan and someone who really enjoys spending time in the kitchen creating lovely food, I figured I'd give this game a try. After all a game involving one of the loves of my life should hold my interest well. When I first started the game I actually really rather enjoyed it, there was a large range of things to make in the game and lots of different techniques to learn, all using the stylus. I tried lots of the different recipes and found myself chopping up vegetables and kneading dough, placing things in frying pans, adding salt and pepper, mixing ingredients together, tossing stir fried foods etc. It was all really quite charming and there was a sense of satisfaction when I had prepared something with no mistakes. However, after a few short sessions I realised that I wasn't actually really enjoying the game. I had...

David Cook

Advantages: Current American Idol winner, a musician
Disadvantages: None

...This...... is the current American Idol Winner. David Cook is the American Idol that nearly never was. He actually was not initially going to try out for the television talent show, he was at the auditions to support his brother but, after some pushing from his brother, decided to audition too. A good decision, because he became the winner of the seventh season of American Idol in 2008. David Cook is classified as a Rock, singer-songwriter. His sound is definitely very rocky, but in my opinion quite soft rock. He has a very deep, raspy voice that lends itself very well to this type of music. What I really like about him is that he can actually play an instrument, unlike a lot of the new pop stars out there today who are just manufactured. He plays the guitar and actually used it quite a lot when he was performing on Idol. If you look...

What's cooking?

Advantages: great cookery show for kids
Disadvantages: none

...related to their customer. Once it is finished it is served through the hatch to their customer. At this point Little Cook Small always wants to play but he is always reminded that first they have to tidy up and put everything away. They always do this as they sing along to a very jaunty little ditty: Wash, wipe scrub and clean, Make the kitchen sparkle and gleam, My names Ben,and my names Small, We've got the cleanest kitchen of all, Tidy all the bits and bobs, the things that help us do our jobs, Ingredients we put away, Ready for use another day, Pots and pans will start to smell, if we don't wash them really well, now it's clear, let's all smile We'll be ready in a little while I really like this as it is instilling good habits in children and making them realise that part of all the fun of cooking has to be the cleaning...

Big Cook Little Cock!

Advantages: Fun
Disadvantages: Wierd presenters

...Big Cook Little Cook...... Big Cook Little Cook is a programme that is aired on the CBeebies channel and is aimed at pre-school age children. The show has two presenters one big cook names Ben and a small cook named Small. (Of course, he is not actually small in real life but they have got an average sized person but filmed him so he appears to be about 5 inches tall). These two cooks own a cafe where different characters come to eat different types of food. They have characters from al the major fairy tales and of course on their Christmas show Father Christmas came to eat in the cafe. The programme is a little like a cookery show for children but a lot of adult help is needed. Also a lot of the food that is made i should think is not overly nice as it is a bit of a mixture of things put together to make something suitable...

The Magic of Peter Pan

Advantages: Lots of special features and a great movie
Disadvantages: ....... None really

...Peter Pan 2-Disc Special Edition Adapted from the stage play of Sir James Barrie comes Walt Disney's masterpiece Peter Pan. This timeless classic is sprinkled with the magic of Disney, capturing the essence of Barrie's original screenplay. As a two-disc special edition, the film has been digitally restored with enhanced picture and sound. It is bursting with special features from the Disney archive. Peter Pan was a story that Walt Disney himself held close to his heart, so much so that it took almost two decades putting the finishing touches to the film. With so much effort put into it, there is no surprise that this Disney Classic has remained a prominent favourite for over 50 years. Peter Pan is full of adventure, interesting characters, music, laughs, faith, trust and of course pixie dust! The traditional story of Peter...
