New Releases 7/12-7/18: Mystery of the Domestic Diva Edition



We at Tech-Gaming have often wondered about Cooking Mama’s enigmatic past. Was the domestic diva an actual matriarch? None of her presumed children have ever been spotted assisting Mama in the kitchen, contributing to the callous rumors. This week, Activision reveals part of her past- a science-minded, ex-husband who tried to capitalize of her success. So far, reports of Science Papa‘s past collaborations with PETA have been unsubstantiated.

Desert Eagle’s Pick: Two games have been garnering an unhealthy amount of playtime for me. Sim-spelunker Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! has been my portable diversion for weeks now, while NCAA Football’s cornucopia of content draws me in daily, as I create teams for my pigskin-less alma maters.

TideGear’s Pick: There’s no question this week! See my review and you’ll understand why my pick is Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This?.
