Real men play Cooking Mama

I must have video games on the brain. First it was gamer food porn, and now I'm intrigued by London-based food blog Jam Faced's current fascination with Cooking Mama, which we mentioned here on Slashfood last year when the game was coming out.

What is it about Jam Faced's post I love? It's the fact that Jam Faced isn't afraid to admit that 1) "when I'm not cooking or eating, I'm probably to be found playing a game," but more charmingly, 2) his game of choice is not some all-night binge on World of Warcraft, but cute little cartoon-like Cooking Mama. Yes! Cooking Mama, which allows you to roll gyoza under the watchful eye of the pink-bonneted Mama. But perhaps best of all is that Jam Faced has "even found myself pondering a few of the recipes for future real life cookery."

Awesome.

Get cooking - with your Nintendo DS

The Nintendo DS Lite is a redesign of a new Nintendo gaming system that is scheduled to have a US release date of June 11th, though it is already available in Japan. Speaking of already available in Japan, there is a game called "Cooking Mama" that has some appeal to us at Slashfood. Unlike Diner Dash, which is a computer game set in a diner, Cooking Mama actually involves cooking. A cute anime-type girl monitors your progress as you slice, dice and prepare over 70 different recipes - all virtually, of course. The recipes can be saved and shared wirelessly with other DS owners. One of the coolest features, though? The game isn't controlled solely with the keypad. When "Mama" asks you to cool something down, you have to blow into the DS's microphone to do it! The game will be released this fall and is expected to retail for under $20.
