Screens: Cake Mania adds to casual cooking commute

Cake Mania, along with a growing group of the formerly PC-centric casual games market, is finding a comfy little place on the DS. Following the girl power model of casual games like Diner Dash or Carrie the Caregiver: Jill's family owned bakery is forced to close when "Mega-Mart" moves into the neighborhood. Determined to fight back, she opens up a new bakery to prove herself and re-open her family's bakery. Of course, in the process she'll become a destructive corporate entity in her own right and learn a moral lesson -- kidding about that last part.

Retailing at $19.99, with screens after the break, it's not a bad price for commuter folks who just need something to fill in the gap from point A to point B. Before getting it on the DS, you can "demo" any of these casual game ports at numerous sites on the web to see if they're for you.
