Cooking- and food-themed videogames have come a long way from Yoshi's Cookie, the early '90s puzzler for the Nintendo DS. In these three titles, the stakes are higher and the pace is faster. It's enough to make you want a snack break.

Order Up! (Zoo Games)
Order Up! (zoodigitalpublishing.com, $40), for the Nintendo Wii, immerses you in the fast-paced world of cooking and restaurant management. You start learning the basics at a lowly greasy spoon, using the Wii Remote to flip pancakes or burgers. As you better your skills, you work at better restaurants—finding recipes, hiring staff, working different cooking stations, and making multiple-order tickets. In addition to keeping the place clean and pleasing food critics, your goal is to get customers, because customers shell out the money you need to keep buying stuff for the restaurant. The comic-style graphics should appeal to the manga lover in you; the game should be out by the time you read this. —Narasu Rebbapragada
