Unlike one of the original Wii cooking games “Cooking Mama: Cook Off,” the emphasis here is less on making precise chopping, flipping or peeling motions with the Wii-mote, which you still have to do, more about multitasking, such as preparing several meals at once as your restaurant fills with customers.

The restaurant starts off as a fast-food burger joint, but the better you do, the better tips you make, and your extra money can get you assistants in the kitchen and eventually access to fancier restaurants. You get bigger tips by figuring out what certain customers prefer based on their name or appearance.

After you've conquered the restaurant world you can even try to conquer a cooking competition that seems to make fun of one of those shows you can see on the food network. “Order Up!” is a Wii exclusive, the bill for it will come to about $40.

If you want to virtually work off all the virtual weight you gained from the last one, “MLB Power Pros 2008” is a fun way to play in the big time as your favorite player or team as they would look as a bunch of pet rocks turned cartoony video game characters. The game is simple to play and offers an alternative if you're not totally into the totally realistic other baseball games out there.

There are also a bunch of mini-games and different modes, including a career or “life” mode as it's called for bringing your favorite player up from the minors up to the big leagues, and even includes starting a family and having kids.

“MLB Power Pros 2008” is available on the Wii, PS2 and DS. It’ll spin you for between $20 and $40.
