Gourmet.com put together this nifty slideshow of food in video games over the past 30 years.

Photograph by M.A.L. on Flickr Of all the videogame lovebirds, Mario and Princess Peach make a pretty cute couple. If my little brother grew up and married someone equally as obsessed with Mario Kart, this might be a cake contender.

Mario's nose overwhelms his face so much his Princess can't help but smooch it. Hers, in comparison, looks pretty delicate—perhaps even cosmetically altered. I'll be curious to see what kind of nose the little ones inherit....

Judging from the video after the jump below, it looks like Cooking Mama: World Kitchen for the Nintendo Wii, is going to be a much-improved version of the original game, Cooking Mama: Cook Off. The video is a developer walk-through, and it seems like the game's creators were very much aware of the difficulties of the original Cooking Mama's game-play mechanics, which made it so frustrating as to be almost unplayable. The new version features three-dimensional characters instead of disembodied hands, fun-looking mini games, and a super-cute feature where Cooking Mama grabs your character to prevent you from adding the wrong ingredient at the wrong time. Video after the jump....
