Cooking Mama Cook Off
A sequel to the popular original Cooking Mama, Cooking Mama Cook Off is for the Nintendo Wii console, and challenges players to participate in a cooking competition against other players, either virtual or a friend right next to you in the living room. With international cuisine recipes and an abundance of ingredients, players must make rapid decisions based upon the situations that appear on the screen, and simulate creating real meals that will be judged on "taste" and accuracy. Burning items will reduce your score and give your teammates an edge.
Diner Dash
Available both as a PC/Mac computer game and a Nintendo DS cartridge, Diner Dash challenges players to manage all aspects of a restaurant from seating guests to cooking and serving meals. Players must complete orders and navigate through tricky menu selections along with the daily grind of running a restaurant - seating, cleaning, opening and closing, taking payments, etc. A fast pace and accelerating levels make it challenging for older girls, while still remaining fun and playable for the younger set.
