Cooking Mama Cook-off means video games are family fun

Posted Aug 29th 2007 6:50PM by Sarah J. Gim

Now that the kids are going off to school, it's time to tear the little monsters away from the video games and force them to buckle down on their studying, right?

Right. As in "Yeah, right, like you're really going to get them to stop playing video games."

Be not discouraged, parents. Instead of banning video games completely, you can turn it into a family activity. You still have to do family Quality Time during the school year, right? Cooking Mama, the video game we've mentioned before that lets you cook without having to get into the kitchen, has a new version out for the Nintendo Wii called Cooking Mama Cook-off. What a great way to train your kids so that in a few months, they can cook dinner for themselves. Of course, when they head off to class, you can use the Wii to do a little workout before you have to rush out to pick them up from soccer practice.

P.S. Nintendo Wiis are hard to get a hold of, but you can win one from CoolHunting and ThisNext.

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.

Video game cakes

These video-game inspired cakes from Glitter Pissing seemed to fit right in with the other strange (some have said "geeky") series of cakes we've featured recently on Slashfood. There were the Stargate cupcakes, the sysadmin cupcakes and then the meat cake. According to blogger r4kk4, these cakes, which include the Nintendo you see here, arcade versions of Centipede and Ms. Pacman and a Gameboy with Tetris pieces, were created for a cakewalk to benefit the nonprofit youth literacy group 826 Seattle. From the looks of the dozens of comments, there could definitely be a market for cakes like these.

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.
