I originally bought Cooking Mama on an interested whim, a joke with my sister about my own poor cooking skills. After playing I decided it was a lot easier, more fun, and way less destructive than real cooking.

 The music and art of the game is cute and fun. Actual gameplay is interesting, easy to understand, and addicting. This game does not get boring, and even after finishing every recipie available it's perfectly fine to go back and play them again.
