Despite making poor Cooking Mama look like a bloodthirsty butcher, PETA still loves Mama. Even so, Joel Bartlett of PETA is asking the cooking guru to, "Pledge to be veg for 30 days." Maybe they just want to play Cooking Mama (DS, Wii), but can't because of all those non-veg dishes. Bartlett even sends Mama a letter. Details in the full article.

After PETA's assault on Cooking Mama's "brutality" (with a bloody game to boot), a feisty Mama responds that her dishes cater to all sorts of tastes, and not just for vegetarians. "I create my recipes to a broad range of tastes and preferences," said Mama. More from Mama in the full article.

Why Mama?!? This is what's on the mind of many fans of Cooking Mama (DS and Wii) as they find that the adorable cookin'-loving Mama has become the unwitting recipient of animal rights group PETA's rage. Why? Cos she serves dishes with meat.

The ever-popular Mama is making a 3D transition and heading to the Wii once again! Majesco has announced a new Cooking Mama game, entitled Cooking Mama World Kitchen, and it's set to cook up a storm on for the holidays. Find out more and see new screenshots of the game after the jump

The cult hit that took the gaming community by a silent storm will be serving seconds. 505 Games, in a collaboration with Cooking Mama Ltd., has announced a sequel to Cooking Mama for both the Nintendo DS and the Wii, slated for a release early next year.

The game will be published for Europe and will (and must!) contain new recipes and challenges. The game will have twice as many mini games and will now feature a multiplayer mode for the DS. The multiplayer mode will pit players' cooking skills against each other in a cook off. It sounds like an Iron Chef version for Cooking Mama (Iron Mama?).

Ian Howe, Managing Director of 505 games says: "Following on from the phenomenal success of Cooking Mama, we're thrilled to be bringing Cooking Mama 2 to Europe. Cooking Mama delivered a truly original IP and Cooking Mama 2 promises to build on its success."
