505 Games has announced it will be bringing two more Cooking Mama games to Europe.

It's the sequel to the culinary concoction from earlier in the year, which challenges you to create increasingly difficult dishes from scratch. This means chopping and preparing your ingredients as well as seasoning them correctly and generally cooking a meal.

The new version will have more recipes, twice as many mini-games, and a new multiplayer mode where you can challenge your friends to a "cook off". Although there's no food to eat at the end, unless you gobble-up your controller.

The DS version came first in late 2006, with the Wii version following in May this year. But while Cooking Mama sounded fantastic as a concept, in practice it was a little shallow, short and clumsy. If Japanese developer Office Create can polish up on its weak points this time, it could be the cook book you've been waiting for. ...

Eidos has announced that downloadable content will soon be available for Ninja Gaiden Sigma, with the first of three packs available on 6th September.

Each bundle is built around a new Survival mode, which allows you to batter endless waves of opponents.

Weapon Master is the first one, and will include five challenges where you'll be given limited weaponry to see off as many enemies as you can.

The second pack is Speed Master, with a further five challenges where your time and power will be limited. You'll have to master your acrobatics to dispatch as many enemies as quickly as you can.

Last but not least is the Rachel Master download, where you'll play as new character Rachel in five challeges, in an effort to be come the best female fighter on the block. Well, PlayStation Network.

Eidos was unsure on pricing at the moment, unfortunately - so they might even turn out to be free. ...

Out of boredom Goobers decided to write a brain**** interpreter.

The brain**** language is an esoteric programming language noted for its extreme minimalism. It was designed to challenge and amuse programmers, and is not suitable for practical use. Its name has been variously bowdlerized, as in brainf*ck or brainfsck, since its name contains the expletive "****". The name of the language is generally not capitalized, despite the fact that it is a proper noun.

The interpreter is NOT AVAILABLE in binary form, just the source has been published.

Siliconera's Spencer Yip put together the handy-dandy spreadsheet you see above featuring the most popular Wii Virtual Console games, available for review now following the recent Wii update. The list shows Japan on the left and the US on the right. Nobody seems to know how the popularity of these games is determined, after Siliconera made their list, it changed for Wii Fanboy, then again when we checked. Hopefully the system will become clearer in time.

Look at all that Mario in the Top 10, with a heavy dose of Link for the US. This will certainly be an interesting chart to watch as more games become available. Maybe it will finally spur Xbox Live Arcade to get one. It would be interesting to know what's popular on XBLA, at least we know it wouldn't be Mario all the way down. ...
