The Cooking Mama series first turned heads in 2006 with its stylus-heavy mini-games and endearing lead character, making virtual chefs out of even the most jaded of gamers. Now that Mama has cooked everything there is to cook, Majesco is branching out the franchise to new and unexplored territory. The first of these experimental spin-offs is Gardening Mama, a game that's title pretty much explains it all.

Get ready to help devastate an entire forest by growing produce for your furry capitalist friends under the watchful eye of Mama - who is, of course, running this entire operation. Seeds of friendship are nowhere to be found, as your woodland neighbours only drop by for a stock refill. Luckily, the threat of being driven off your farm in an Orwellian coup is minimal, as their grasp of commerce is about as firm as the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man’s resolve to finally start that diet.

Since then, she has been back with more titles, not only for the DS, but for the Wii as well (also iPhone and iPad). Taking us into our virtual kitchens to cook up some fantastic recipes, sharpen our skills, decorate our kitchen and Mama herself with accessories, and most of all, not to burn our food and make her angry and see that fire in her eyes.
