Yep, I read the Gamespot news article about PETA's rail against Cooking Mama for including meat recipes and made their own game to protest. Naturally, I just had to check this game out.

The game has a very interesting premise. Like Cooking Mama, you're supposed to use your mouse to play cooking minigames, but this is not your typical lighthearted Cooking Mama. This is a more "mature" Mama, looking like a crazy killer, and the turkey preparation displays copious amounts of blood and internal organs. Being, well, a gamer, I took much sadistic delight in torturing the turkey, especially considering that it was already dead anyways. In a crazy sort of way, this new take on preparing recipes is hilarious, and I love knowing that I am "Meaner than Mama!" What a great way of taking out anger. Unfortunately, midway through the game, Mama has a "change of heart" and the game becomes decidedly less fun as it loses its over-the-top violence and focuses on preparation of vegetarian recipes.

Concept aside, it's still a game, and I have to review it as such. Wonky controls sometimes ruin the fun when you have to press the same thing over and over again before it registers. This is particularly bad involving any "moving" action. Also, the game is short, but being a PC flash game, this isn't really much of a hindrance.

Overall, I recommend this game for anyone who wishes to view Cooking Mama in a whole new light, er, dark. All you gamers clamouring for "mature" games with blood and gore will love this twist on a "casual" game.

Wait, this was supposed to be about how meat recipes are bad because they involve killing animals? How the heck was I supposed to know that?
