Cooking Mama 5: Bon Appétit!

I’ll admit that I am not the gamer in the family so I am relying on my girls (8 and 10 years old) to tell me how they liked this game.

A (10 years old)- I was expecting this Cooking Mama game to be like the other Cooking Mama games but this one was more confusing to me.  I enjoy this game but I found it a little more confusing and challenging than the other version I have played.  I like some of the mini games.  I am sure once I play the game more I will understand it better and like it more.

D (8 years old)- I think that Cooking Mama 5 is really fun.  Every time you complete a recipe you then receive another one to complete.  There are also mini games like feeding Mama’s fish, helping Mama in the store, and feeding people.  Some of the things I made in the game were sushi, grape bread, a decorated cake.  I can’t wait to see what I will get to cook next!

This game is rated E for everyone!  Happy Cooking!

I’ll admit that I don’t know that much about Adventure Time.  Sure, I can name most of the characters but I really don’t “get it”.  I guess that’s because I’m the parent.  But it really doesn’t matter if I “get it” because my 10 year old daughter does and she loves it.  She was so excited when I told her that another Adventure Time game was coming out for her DS.  She loves the other Adventure Time DS game she has, Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage?!! so she couldn’t wait to get the new one.

Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW! is a brand new action game from the creative minds of Adventure Time series creator Pendleton Ward and game developer WayForward, and is the follow-up to the mathematical, algebraic, and radical success of last year’s IGN Editors’ Choice recipient Adventure Time: Hey Ice King!

Moshi Monsters Katsuma Unleashed Review

My girls love Moshi Monsters so they were excited to find out that Katsuma, the most popular Moshi Monster character now has his own game!  Moshi Monsters: Katsuma Unleashed – the newest game in the best-selling series for Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS™ –is now available!  It stars Katsuma and is based on Moshi Monsters, the popular interactive online world with 70 million registered users worldwide!

A vibrant, side-scrolling, action-adventure platform game, Moshi Monsters: Katsuma Unleashed (3DS SRP $29.99; DS SRP $24.99) will bring fans of all ages into the Moshi Monsters world like never before. The non-stop action begins when Dr. Strangeglove, intent on his evil mission to learn the secret of Moshi Picchu, captures Elder Furi and all of the innocent Moshi Monsters – except Katsuma! As the most popular Moshi Monsters character, players embark on a far-reaching voyage, traveling through six new worlds packed with mini arcade challenges and epic boss battles. Katsuma must work to rescue his Moshi Monsters friends, so he can gain their unique powers – from Furi’s “Smash” to Diavlo’s “Flight” – to help him combat the enemies and keep the secret of Moshi Picchu safe!

My 10 year old said she likes that this game is challenging.  You have 3 lives so if you lose all 3 lives you have to start over at the checkpoint of the level you are on.  This adds to the challenge.  She also likes that that are different types of “bad guys”.  Some move back and forth and some move up and down.  They are color coded by what they do so you know how they will act.  For example the red ones move back and forth.  On some of the levels there is a magic trail.  When you walk along the trail it turns into a blue path that is as long as the trail.  This special blue path prevents you from falling which she thinks is a cool feature.   Be careful of the grey characters that look like pufferfish.  They will explode when you get near them and will shoot grey spikes at you.  If you touch the spikes you will lose a life.  If you are a Moshi Monsters fan, you’ll love Moshi Monsters: Katsuma Unleashed.
