cooking mama!
How hard can it be to cook Fried Octopus Dumplings (aka Tako Yaki)??? Slice octopus, mix ingredients, mix batter, pour batter into pan, cook. I only score 50 points according to Mama 
It’s crazy enough that Japan made a game where you slice and dice, and test your frying skills, all so Mama can rate your cooking ability. But what’s really odd to me is that they released the English version, but with all the same Japanese dishes. And the titles of the dishes are weird… The game itself is really not that exciting. It’s like playing a bunch of mini games, and Mama gives you a score. And if you make a mistake, Mama gets mad and flames come out of her eyes! Pretending to cook is really not that fun, especially when you don’t get to eat it.
Don’t waste too much of your time playing the game, and definitely don’t go buy it. I’m really not a bad cook! I finally got 93 on Fried Pancake, which I assume to be Okonomiyaki. So Mama is finally happy with my cooking skills.
Believe it or not, there’s going to be a Cooking Mama 2 for Wii….

They should make a game where you get to eat the food instead. A far more interesting endeavor that involves less dangerous knives.

Man, I can’t get better than a 90 on the Shrimp Tempura. How do I get “Very Good” on the frying part? I pull out the shrimp right as it pops up and it still gives me a “Good” rating.
