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!

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.

Winx Club: Magical Fairy Party Nintendo DS Game Product Review

Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

Winx Club: Magical Fairy Party DS game is based on the Nickelodeon show, Winx Club.  Players will embrace the magic within and discover their inner fairy.  Winx Club captures an enchanting story and features mini-games filled with fairies, fashion, friendship (and pets) that fans love.
Kids will get to star in the new game and design their own special fairy, interact with their favorite show characters like Bloom and Stella, and enroll in the enchanting Alfea School.  Fans will perform spells, and plan unforgettable events, that include a wondrous ball by designing cakes, creating porters and more!

What We Think– My girls LOVE Winx Club.  It is one of their favorite shows so they were so excited when they found out that they would get to review the Winx Club: Magical Fairy Party DS game.  This is game is lots of girly fun for them.  There are a series of mini-games that each feature a different fairy.  In these mini-games the player learns to perform magic.
Here’s a bit more about the mini-games:



My girls think the most fun part is being able to create and customize your own fairy by choosing from over 120 different fashion items from hairstyles, outfits, wigs, and pets in lots of different fun colors.  My girls also love playing with the coloring pages.
The fairies of Alfea School need help planning fun balls.  You can join with the events committee to help them plan seasonally themed parties like a Halloween party, Winter Wonderland, Spring Fling, and more!
Get creative!
Have fun decorating your own cake!

Create beautiful centerpieces!

There are lots of ways to help plan the perfect party!

This game is rated E for Everyone and it is perfect for both of my girls (almost) 7 and 9 years old.  They can both play it on their own and they love getting lost in the fairy world of Winx Club.  If you have a Winx Club fan in your house, we recommend the Winx Club: Magical Fairy Party DS game.

Big Time Rush: Backstage Pass Nintendo DS™ Game Product Review

This post may contain affiliate links.
Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

Big Time Rush: Backstage Pass (Nintendo DS™) offers on-the-go fun, featuring songs that include fan
favorites such as “Windows Down,” “Til I Forget About You,” and “Boyfriend.” Players follow along to
the beat of the selected tracks, using the touch screen to tap, hold, drag and scribble on cue to earn
maximum points. Fans can watch music-style videos to see behind-the-scenes views of the band in
action from on stage to the tour bus and more.
First select your profile.
Next choose your song from “Big Night”, “I Know You Know”, “Boyfriend”, “Elevate”, “Til I Forget About You”, “Windows Down”, and More!  The higher your score the more songs you unlock.The object of the game is to keep the beat to get Big Time scores.  Use your stylus to tap and slide the marks on the screen to keep the beat with Big Time Rush songs.  The better your score the more songs you unlock.
My girls love watching Big Time Rush on tv and have even been to one of their concerts.  They were very excited to get an opportunity to try out the Big Time Rush: Backstage Pass (Nintendo DS™) game.  They both enjoyed the Big Time Rush songs but found the game challenging.  To succeed in this game you have to hold your stylus on various circles and shapes as the outline gets smaller, etc.  It was hard for them to do this to the beat of the music so they got frustrated with the game.   It reminded me of my first time trying to play Guitar Hero.  I had a hard time keeping up with the cord changes because I have no rhythm.  I was easily frustrated because I couldn’t pass the first few songs I needed to move on to unlock other songs that I wanted to get to.  I think this is what my girls were going through with this game.  This game is rated E for Everyone but I think it would be better for older children, 10+ years old.  I am sure my girls haven’t seen the last of Big Time Rush: Backstage Pass (Nintendo DS™).  I think it will be great when they are a little older and have a little more rhythm.  Meanwhile, we’re having fun listening to the songs on the game. 🙂
