Order Up! (2008, Nintendo Wii)
As far as cooking games go, Order Up! is the total package. Not only do you get to cook from a huge menu of dishes using the Wii’s motion-sensitive controller (which acts at various times like a knife, a spatula, and a panhandle), but you also get to run your own restaurant, climbing up the career ladder from short-order cook at a crummy diner to celebrity chef at a high-end hot spot. Order Up!, like cooking in a real kitchen, is all about juggling several tasks at once and getting everything to the table while it’s still hot. So you might have fries in the fryer and burgers on the grill while you’re chopping onions and tomatoes. Later on in the game, you can hire line cooks to take on more responsibilities, increasing your capacity to turn out food—along with the probability that you’ll set the whole kitchen on fire when you forget about something on the stove.
