...Whitby in north east England is today a bustling little town that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Many come here because of its quaint narrow streets and it's old-worldly charms, others to see its old traditional working harbour.

Advantages: very user friendly and informative Disadvantages: repetitive
...Cooking Mama on the Nintendo DS.
Now being a profession Chef i was worried to start with about what this game would actually teach about cooking, as with many other games i have played myself which are centered around cooking they have no actuall basis on cooking, but this game was different i found it a joy to play with my younger sister and found she was intrested in cooking many of the different dish's which were featured in the actual game.
it is very user friendly which allows users of all ages to play easily.
the game is slightly repetitive which causes users to lose intrest in certian aspects of the game.
but overall i found this game a joy to play and a very good buy....
