Majesco Gets into Facebook Publishing with Cooking Mama

Posted January 13, 2011 by M.H. Williams

It seems that Facebook is where all the cool kids want to play these days, with companies like Sony, EA, and Ubisoft trying to get their games some facetime on the social networking site. Majesco Entertainment announced today that it's joining in on the fun with the launch of Cooking Mama Friends’ Café. The game was created by social game developer Arkadium, with a brand-new cooking experience for players.

"With domestic franchise sales of more than 8 million units to date, Cooking Mama is an incredibly strong brand to launch our entry into social gaming," said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco Entertainment. "Cooking Mama Friends’ Cafe is just the first of several social games we'll be unveiling, and demonstrates our strategic focus to create unique games leveraging leading brands that appeal to our target audience."

The new title blends the Cooking Mama gameplay of recipe-based cooking mini games with a new menu and customer management sim. Coins and experience are given to players who find the right dishes to entice their customers while keeping their restaurants afloat. New features and enhancements will be added to the title over time.

Players can try out Cooking Mama Friends’ Café here.
