IGN rarely plays games that they can’t find anything good to say about, but Babysitting Mama is one of those games. It’s boring, gimmicky, and not even that entertaining for its target audience. With so many realistic, interactive baby dolls on the market, any parents that would opt for Babysitting Mama for their daughter should have their heads examined. As for the franchise, it may be time for Mama to retire.

Hardcore Gamer: There’s only one thing better than playing games and that’s collecting every piece of merchandise tied to them. There was nothing like flipping through your favorite gaming magazine and seeing a profile of a limited edition collectible or discovering a piece of memorabilia from a beloved game in an overlooked corner of a shop and it’s a feeling we strive to replicate every month as we look through our own collector’s cabinet and dig out items new and old to show the world.
In this week's Heart of Gaming, Leon plays Babysitting Mama.

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.
