2011 Holiday Gift Guide: Cooking Mama 4: Kitchen Magic for Nintendo 3DS Review

Newly released for the Nintendo 3DS, Majesco Entertainment brings us Cooking Mama 4: Kitchen Magic!  We have never played the first 3 Cooking Mama games, but we are all hooked on Cooking Mama 4: Kitchen Magic!  This is such a fun game!  I've been sneaking it away from Bella to take a turn playing it!  I love trying to beat all of the mini games - there are over 200!  In these games you can chop food, set the table, knead dough, slice bread and more!  (These are things I want Bella to start helping with - maybe she'll get the hint from playing this game!)  The 3DS features are really cool because you can move your game and the gyroscope  tells the game how to move so that you can balance plates, crack eggs, flip pancakes and more.  These are all chores that us mamas are good at, so it's really fun to see them as a video game!  Cooking Mama 4: Kitchen Magic would make a really fun holiday gift for almost anyone on your list!  I sure do like it myself!
