Bachelors: Pay Attention

First, let's bust a myth: Guys play Cooking Mama too. While it may not teach you the finer points about preparing Cherry Almond Glazed Pork, it may inspire you to at least forego those Hot Pockets and try something new.

I played the first Cooking Mama on the DS, and was honestly surprised how fun it was, like actually enjoying the Food Network instead of it just making you hungry. (Note: Preparing animated food does make you hungry!)

Anyway, I dig what Majesco is doing with Cooking Mama 3 for the same reason I loved Sonic & Knuckles back in the day: Cross-game interaction. In addition to a bevy of new recipes and 200 minigames, you can import items grown in Gardening Mama's garden inside her kitchen.

Fans of interactive culinary games, the Mama series, bachelors, and casual gamers everywhere can get their cookery on when Cooking Mama 3 hits shelves this October.
