Aside from the VC games I bought, the Wii has been the silent game machine in my collection.

Then I opened up a issue of Game Informer and saw this game in the preview section.



Order Up!

It looks like it could be what Cooking Mama should have been. I never purchased Cooking Mama but it did tempt me to try it out.

So far from what I've read and seen it looks like it could be a really fun game. Basically you're a new chef on the island of Port Abello. You start off at a burger joint and eventually move up to Mexican and Italian restaurants.

You have the option of hiring assistant chefs and delegating work to them. Also it looks like you eventually get to be on a tv show, iron chef style (not to sure though).

Comes out in July, unfortunately after NCAA football so finding time for it between the two football games will be tough for me but I can't wait to try this out. This is an example of a game style that I can't get on the PS3 or 360 and I may actually enjoy it.

Anyone else looking forward to it? Or am I in the minority in this?

Some additional info and gameplay videos that I've watched are linked below.
