Now that's what I'm talking about, Nintendo. Combining my two favorite things, drink and video games, and putting them together so I can enjoy them both on a lovely summer day. Portable gaming devices have always been a natural fit in the lives of bar flies because everyone likes a lush who can entertain themselves. Bartender DS, Liquor Craftsman/Teacher, and Sommelier DS may not be games per se (EA would prefer you call them, " the gourmet information magazine for the adult"), but if that's the case, then what in the heck is Cooking Mama? Pouring a Manhatten just right in Bartender DS, or choosing the right wine with certain cheeses as with Sommelier DS sounds a lot like being able to peel a potato just right.

Game or no game, at the end of the day, most attempts at making a Cooking
Mama-inspired curried pilaf is going to result in something that tastes a lot like failure, and nothing says "I'm sorry" like a tall, ice cold glass of G&T
