Jamie Oliver gets his game on
The British chef teams with Atari for What’s Cooking? a new game for Nintendo DS to be released in time for Christmas 2008. The game walks players through cooking scenarios including, shopping, chopping and plating. Players can bring the game into the kitchen to try their hand at the 100 recipes included. And with features such as an interactive shopping list (it saves ingredients from recipes, organizes them by food type, and also allows you to add other items to the list using keypad or text recognition), even my non-cooking boyfriend says, “wow a game that’s actually useful and could potentially get Kristin out of the grocery store in under an hour!”
