    Personally, we can't cook. Not to save our lives. Give us some packages of Ramen Noodles and we are set. Sad but true story. Fortunately for those who are kitchen retarded, like I am, Cooking Mama is going to give us the run down on how to make some rather interesting, and sometimes disgusting, dishes. GameSpot has the full preview and details with a nice video to show you how Cooking Mama works. Somehow neapolitan spaghetti doesn't sound that great tonight... Bon Appetit!

    Do cooking games have any place in the North American market? Majesco seems to think so. The publisher is taking a gamble on Office Create's Cooking Mama, a mini-game-based niche title, previously available in Japan only - yes, we suppose some Japanophiles did go the import route. But will gaijin dig a perfectly batter-dipped and deep fried tray of shrimp tempura? They best swap in some of Colonel Sanders' finest birds to move units on these shores.

    It was a very good holiday season for Amazon.com. The ever-popular online store has reported approximately 108 million items have been ordered since November 1st - their best holiday season yet. In their press release, Amazon.com notes that "video games were popular this year," citing their top sellers as Mario Party 7, Civilization IV, and Age of Empires 3. Top in video game hardware were, unsurprisingly, the three portable consoles: the pearl blue Game Boy Advance SP (not Micro?), the electric blue Nintendo DS, and the Sony PSP value pack. How many of you used Amazon this year for the majority of your holiday shopping? [via Gamasutra] Read
