Cooking Mama (Nintendo DS)
Cooking Mama (Nintendo DS)
Cooking Mama challenges players to use the stylus as a master kitchen tool to cook 76 real world dishes ranging from pepperoni pizza to cabbage meat rolls. Players use the stylus to chop, slice, pan fry, knead, grate, mash, peel and more. Under Mama’s watchful eye, players must first prepare ingredients, then combine, cook and present the final meal all via the touch screen. Players can even cool down dishes by blowing into the DS microphone.
Customer Review: wow!
when i got this game i wasnt really expecting it to be much good, but i was wrong! this game is great and has all of the fun of the kitchen inside one little ds game card! i really enjoy making rice cakes ect on it and i think that every person who has a DS should definately get cooking mama!!!!
Customer Review: Good at first
I got this game along time ago and it was brilliant… at first.
Soon i had made all the recipes, there were no more to make!
So that game has been in the case along time and not looked at.
If youre looking for a game that one day ends thats your one.
However it is really fun making and cooking different foods at first.
In my opionion its ok.

You might not see the supporting merchandise so much nowadays but Pokemon is still the most successful games franchise in history. Diamond and Pearl sold 5 million copies in Japan in under three months and 1 million in America in just one month, breaking all records for the year and the series. At first sight though this looks disappointingly similar to the existing games, with only a subtle 3D effect for the game world and largely static 2D battles. However the gameplay has undergone a complete overhaul, adding numerous new features and reintroducing others from Gold/Silver/Crystal, that had previously been removed.
The basics are still the same though, as you venture out into the world (called Sinnoh this time) in an attempt to catalogue each and every pokemon and battle the evil Team Galactic. Catching and training a pokemon for combat also works the same as before, although beauty and talent contests have been greatly expanded for those that prefer as little violence as possible. The game includes a day and night cycle, which severely impacts the appearance of pokemon, and you are given a new gadget called a poketch which starts as a simple watch but can be upgraded to everything from a scanner to a map. Secret bases are back and considerably more sophisticated than before but the most important new feature by far is the online mode. You can now trade, chat and battle with fans from around the world - proving that progress is not always just a case of better graphics. Harrison Dent
Customer Review: Brilliant
Brilliant cos it has all the good things from the last few games and new stuff like the 3d effect and the poketch which replaces the pokenav from hoenn. Even though the story line is the same as all the other games the new features sort of cancells that out.

Pokemon Pearl and Diamond Review I made this review a while ago and I hope you like it! copy this into your url bar its a video review!

In a nutshell:
Few kids films can be as well suited to video game immortalisation as Cars and just for once a movie license-in hasn’t just been used for a cheap cash-in. Think Ridge Racer, Jr. and there’s plenty to enjoy here for both adults and children.
The lowdown:
When you’ve got a movie populated solely by talking cars it at least means there’s no need to turn the game into yet another third person platformer. Instead you take the role of stock car Lightning McQueen in what is actually a sequel to the movie’s plot, as he works his way up the racing leagues. Whether there’s someone driving Lightning or not he still handles like any other arcade racer, complete with a handy powerslide. The artificial intelligence of the other cars can seem a bit too willing to let you win in the early stages but there are separate kids and adults modes to ensure all ages get a decent challenge.
Most exciting moment:
Although it’s not quite Grand Theft Auto the game features a surprisingly large game world for you to explore, with wide open canyons and towns filled with tons of side quests and mini-games to ignore or enjoy as you please.
Since you ask:
Almost the entire voicecast of the movie reprise their roles, recording original dialogue just for the game. This includes Owen Wilson and, in his first ever role in a video game, the legendary Paul Newman.
The bottom line:
One of the best movie tie-ins for a while and a decent little racer.

Customer Review: Addictive
I got this game yesterday and with the exception of the final race it’s completed, I wish there were more hidden things on there or something however it was very nice not to just have another platform game, while some of the mini games were a bit boring and annoying to get through there was a variety and I really enjoyed it. Definately worthewhile gettting and I’ll probably play the mini games over anyway particularly as there’s new levels unlocked - but more of the same thing.
Customer Review: interesting but….
At first this game was absolutly brilliant!!!! Great fun. But there arnt that many games. After a while it begins to get boring. There is not much of a story line and no racing. However it is great for a young kid. I thought this would have loads of racing but there is only one race. And in this all you do is play gaees. Great Game… at first.
Aluminium Case Lite (Nintendo DS)

Customer Review: Brilliant Accessory
Bought these for my boys (aged 7 & 10) and they’re great, very compact can fit the DS Lite Console and games into it as well as a spare stylus, only thing not to fit in is the charger but we coped! Sturdy for travelling and as they don’t have a ‘character of the moment’ etched onto them they won’t go out of fashion. Excellent price too. I’ve recommended them to quite a few friends who’ve got them for their kids.
Customer Review: Does exactly what it says on the tin!
This stylish metal case is perfect for keeping your Nintendo DS Lite protected and safe. It’s sturdy, great looking and even enables you to store 2 games in the lid part. I would recommend it highly. However, given the fact it is metal, it is quite heavy.
