cooking mama!!

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. This game has not been out for that long i thought i would buy it cause it looks quite good i always play it so be warned it addictive, u can get this game from any game store and tecso and adsa and stores like that, Gamestation,Eplay and game there really good store you can buy this game from.

Don't worry - Mama will fix it

Advantages: Fun anime style graphics, good for young gamers, good for leisure gamers, very addictive
Disadvantages: Too easy for seasoned gamers, not action packed or full of puzzles

...I asked my other half to rent me a copy of Cooking Guide so I was a bit surprised when she came home with this. I did question the choice the response was ?It?s got cooking in the title hasn?t it??. Since I had paid to rent it I thought I would give it a go, after all, I had little else to do that evening. ****What do you do?**** The aim of this game is to prepare a variety of meals in a step-by-step manner. Each stage is marked a fail, good or very good and once you have prepared the dish in full you are awarded a mark out of 100 and achieve a fail, bronze medal, silver medal or gold medal as appropriate. That is all there is to it. There is no purpose or depth to this game. ****Controls**** This game fully utilises the touch screen and stylus of the DS. The stylus is the ?ultimate? cooking utensil of the Cooking Mama...

For the mamas and papas amongst you

Advantages: great quality
Disadvantages: expensive

...Babies are expensive. We used to be under the naïve impression that babies are very small, so how much stuff could they need. After much aimless wandering around Mothercare and Mamas and Papas we realised the error of our ways, there seems to be no end to the stuff that babies need and this is before you get to the stuff that you want to buy that they could probably do without. We spent a horrendous amount in Mamas and Papas whilst Scarlett was still a bump! Mamas and Papas always seems to me to be like the ?designer? shop of the baby world. Whilst Mothercare is practical and quite down to earth. Mamas and Papas seems a bit more upmarket. Well as upmarket as baby stuff gets! Flicking through their catalogue its full of slim models in white linen outfits holding pretty babies who look more like their younger brothers and sisters than...

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...

Baby Mama

Advantages: Ok film
Disadvantages: Not funny enough for me

...Baby Mama is a 2008 comedy drama film. In my opinion it was ok, not great, not bad but just ok. It's one of those films that now I've seen it I never really have to see it again as there would be no reason to. I enjoyed it but felt it was a little bit flat and felt they could have made a lot more of the story than they did. I don't think it had much marketing as it did not seem to be too well known. I first saw it being advertised in the US and don't really remember much advertising here. As the name suggest the main theme of this movie is babies, and specifically the main characters endeavour to have one. Kate Holbrook is a successful business woman, who at 37 suddenly finds herself wanting a baby. She has put her career before her love/family life for a long time and starts to realise that she wants something different. She is not...

MAMAS & PAPAS PLIKO PRAMETTE

Advantages: easy to use, lightweigh, smart looking
Disadvantages: fills the boot of a 306

...When I found out I was pregnant I soon discovered that buying a pram/pushchair can be an absolute nightmare. There are so many on the market, doing different things and costing different amounts! i wanted one that would be lightweight, and take my baby right through to being a toddler. I also wanted one that would look like a proper pram, not just a carseat on wheels. Due to suffering from SPD in my pregnancy I was not up to mammoth shopping trips which made it even more difficult to choose one as I could not get out to see what they were like in the flesh. When flicking through the Argos catalogue (its no longer available in there), I came across the Mamas & Papas Pliko Pramette and fell in love with it immediately. It was only available in one colour, the Boston check, but it was a nice dark colour and looked like a proper...

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...

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...

I can cook well with Cooking Mama

Advantages: cute graphics
Disadvantages: repetitive

...This was the first game I got for Nitendo DS Lite, so I have certainly have had a lot of practice! There are at least 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 score. As you complete the dishes, more are unlocked. 2. Let's Combine- this mode is just for the fun and you can combine a main dish with a side dish. For example, Pork Curry and Fried Octopus Dumplings 3) Use Skill. This mode teaches you many of the tasks that...

Not for Mamas and Papas!

Advantages: Comes with loads of extras
Disadvantages: Too many to list here.

...I bought this pushchair after I had my youngest child for a number of reasons. It came with loads of extras which when bought seperatly can work out costing more than the pushchair, and it was very light, only weighing 5 kgs. This was a very important factor as I live in a block of flats on the third floor, and there is no lift. So I knew that I would have to carry it and a child up and down the stairs on a daily basis. It seems that this pushchair is exclusive to Argos, and dosen't seem to be even available in the Mamas and Papas stores, or even on-line. In hindsight, I suppose alarm bells should have been ringing. When I bought this, I paid £99.99, although the price has since dropped to £69.99. It also came with a 6 month manufacturer guarantee. So, what did I get for my money. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Luckily I got...
