From Gaming Target The thing about cooking in large quantities is that the food often turns out to be bland and inedible. That's not so in the case of Cooking Mama, which Majesco announced has surpassed four million copies sold based on the gaming recipe of developer Cooking Mama Limited.
Majesco have confirmed the existance of Cooking Mama 3 and that it will be playable at E3 2009.
411mania gives a rundown on this week's game releases. Highlights include Major Minor's Majestic March, Rhythm Heaven, and Gardening Mama.
Kotaku writes: We've been following the PETA Cooking Mama back and forth with bated breath. First PETA created a gruesome, but sort cool take on Cooking Mama, using the doe-eyed chef to highlight some issues the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have with Thanksgiving. Then Majesco responded, pointing out that their games have plenty of vegetarian recipes, and even taking the issue to Cooking Mama herself for some overly cute quotes about animal lovin'. Now PETA, quick to recognize a publicity train when they see when, have responded in an open letter, telling Majesco just how much they love their Cooking Mama games and asking for a vegetarian-only Cooking Mama game in the future. They're even offering to help promote it, if the vege game comes to fruition.
Earlier this week, animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) took a bite out of Majesco's Cooking Mama: World Kitchen.
