Do you survive on take-out, top-ramen, and canned food? Did you never learn to cook because it was too hard? Well, learning to cook is still hard and time consuming, now though, thanks to the fine folks of Majesco, you can continue to learn how to fake cook. Yes, in the fine tradition Guitar Hero and Rock Band Majesco is bringing us Cooking Mama: World Kitchen the cooking simulator for Nintendo’s Wii! Using the Wii-mote as a virtual utensil you’ll cut, fry, stir, broil, boil, pound, sprinkle, and top virtual food of all kinds! Making fantastic dishes you can’t eat or actually make! Cooking Mama 2 will be out in time for you NOT to cook a real Christmas dinner.
Seriously, do we really need this game? Instead of buying this game, buy a pan or two and a cookbook! You’ll impress a lot more people by cooking real food than by playing a video game about it.
P.S. I know you don’t want to hear this and that you can totally rock out the hardest songs on Guitar Hero III, but that also doesn’t make you cool. It’s actually kind of sad and depressing… if you’re going to invest that kind of time, wouldn’t it be better spent learning to play a real guitar?

MAJESCO ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES DETAILS OF ‘COOKING MAMA WORLD KITCHEN’ FOR Wii
Comedic Kitchen Mini-Games, Move to 3D Graphics and New Recipes Highlight Feature Additions
EDISON, N.J., June 30, 2008 - Preheat the oven, grease the baking pan and get out the spatula as Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced additional details of Cooking Mama World Kitchen for Wii. Developed by Cooking Mama Limited, the latest installment in the celebrated franchise includes an all new 3D graphic presentation along with new recipes, modes and comedic mini-game surprises.
“The Cooking Mama franchise continues to be a best seller at more than two million units sold to date,” said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco. “An original idea, inherently fun execution and Mama’s appeal have clearly resonated with both Wii and Nintendo DS audiences. Mama’s newest iteration, Cooking Mama World Kitchen, builds on this success with a host of feature enhancements that improve the cooking experience and deliver more of the unique personality that has made Mama such an endearing video game character.”
In Cooking Mama World Kitchen, Mama and friends have a whole new look given the game’s upgrade to full 3D graphics. By utilizing the Wii Remote as a universal kitchen utensil, players can simulate actual cooking by chopping, grating, slicing, stirring and rolling their way through all new recipes that range from parfait to shrimp au gratin. Best of all, kitchen mistakes during meal preparation result in comedic mini-game surprises; for example, if you flip a burger too high, you can control Mama as she rushes in to save the day by catching it in her apron. Finally, a new game play mechanic integrates traditional Wii Remote utensil play with additional rhythm and motion that makes cooking easier and more enjoyable.
Cooking Mama World Kitchen for Wii is expected to release this holiday. For additional information about Majesco’s exciting line of products, please visit http://www.majescoentertainment.com/.

Girls and boys can play as many games as they want, but we both know it ain’t little girls and boys buying Guitar hero and rockband, is it?
