It is not true that work and play do not blend well together. The proof is I was able to blend and play the game smart. I learn a lot on my passion for cooking while playing a game? Impossible? Nope. I just did it folks!

When I was a child I used to play cooking games with my young pals. I used to play the role of a master cook and my friends playing minor roles in a family. I always took the lead role even in dramatizations. I usually watched cartoons showcasing a master cook and how he used his cooking power to transform bad guys into meek and passive persona ready to obey their new cook master. I enjoy the quip of being called a cook master by my circle of friends. Even at the age of maturity, my passion for cooking did not fade. I took culinary arts and am ready to try my hand to new experiences doing the work I love the most. I even play Cooking Games at home with my siblings and we really enjoy doing them.

But, you know folks? I just discovered some games you would surely like! I played them with gusto and I just wanted to share you. The site is www.ecookinggames.com. It offers users exciting and interesting FreeCooking Games and Food Games and the good thing about them is that you can access these games FREE! Play now, play well, folks!

Sony Corp unveiled on Tuesday a smaller, lighter PlayStation handled game device called the PSP Go, in a race to catch rival Nintendo in an intensely competitive mobile games arena.

Hours before, Nintendo said it sold more than 15 million units of its blockbuster “Wii Fit” fitness game, and plans an update — the Wii Fit Plus — later this year.

Sales of the Wii have dwarfed those of more technically souped-up and pricier rival consoles from Microsoft Corp and Sony Corp, by broadening its audience beyond hard-core video gamers.

On the second day of E3, the largest U.S. video games conference, Sony and Nintendo vied for the spotlight, a day after rival console-maker Microsoft charmed audiences with its “Natal”: groundbreaking technology utilizing full-body motion-capture for gamers.

It was the first full day of the show, which is expected to draw some 40,000 game enthusiasts.

Many cheered and whooped at the press event at mere glimpses of new versions of popular games like “God of War” and “Super Mario Bros.,” or at the mention of secretive ones like “Agent,” which is being developed for the PS3 by the creators of “Grand Theft Auto.”

Have you seen Denver Funde, Bald Bull and Sonic on the Jump?. LEGO and pixilated video game characters are as delicious a combination as chocolate and peanut butter. The non-Salmonella peanut butter that is.

Among the list? A still-in-the-box retail Xbox 360, a Gears of War Zune and these, these magnificent LEGO creations. These amazing LEGO designs come from Cliff and company over at NetDevil who, between bouts of designing LEGO Universe, managed to find time to create 8-bit art for charity.

Here’s a break down of how Tristan and I turned a picture into a sizable piece of plastic art.

Getting Started

• Choose Your Character Carefully: You want to make sure whoever you’re transforming into a LEGO is going to use colors that not only exist in the LEGO universe, but that you either (preferably) own or can easily purchase.

LEGO are pretty damn expensive, so keep that in mind if you’re going the purchase route. Also remember that unless you have a LEGO story nearby, you’re going to be forced to buy kits or sets that have all kinds of colors you probably don’t need. We spent $50 on supplemental LEGO making this, which gave us about a third of the LEGO we needed.

• Find A Picture: After decided Sonic was the way to go we searched out “Sonic” and “pixel” on Google. It didn’t take long to find a pixilated picture of Sonic. We were lucky to find one that already had a grid laid over the image. If yours doesn’t you’re going to have to do that yourself. That way you can easily count and track how many bricks you need of each color.

• Find the Time and Space: It took us about six hours or so to make Sonic. Six hour bent over a coffee table. Next time we’re using the dining table.

Off to Work

• Fun: Let’s not forget the real reason you’re doing this, if you’re doing it with a child. It’s not really about bonding LEGO as much as it is about bonding families. Make sure you don’t get carried away and have your kids or children watching you put together his creation. You find the pieces, they place them.

• LEGO: You’re going to need a lot more LEGO than you realize, unless you actually sit down and count each and every brick. It’s best to locate every single brick in your house and go ahead and pull out the colors you’ll be needing.

• Aspect Ratio: When we started I decided to tweak the brick count going across but not up. In other words, for every square I used two pegs instead of one. So a single square shown in the picture meant I used a two by two brick. The end result was a slightly squashed Sonic.

The thing is, after much examination I’m convinced that had I left it alone or doubled both I think it still would have had a squishy Sonic because it doesn’t appear that bricks are perfectly square. Either way, that’s an important decision you’re going to need to make before you get started. Keep in mind the bigger your creation is the more expensive it’s going to be.

• How Thick Are You? You’re also going to need to know how thick you want to make your creation. Tristan and I made Sonic one brick thick. This worked, though he can’t really stand up on his own.

• Dot Your Bricks: I found the best way to track where I was on the picture was to draw a little dot on each square as we placed the bricks. That way I knew which ones were in place and where exactly we were. I still had to tear apart the Sonic twice to fix problems. So make sure you check and recheck placement as you build.

Finished

• Wrapping Things Up: As the winner of the LEGO Bald Bull can attest, these creations are very fragile. Tristan and I used three coats of industrial strength spray on glue to keep Sonic together permanently. Sure one side of him is white, but the other is still glorious and perfect for hanging on the wall.

Lots of kids love video games. In fact, they like them so much that they might hear something like this from mom or dad: “Enough! Unplug that thing and find something else to do!”

It can be good advice, even if you were just about to crash through to the next level. Why? Too much of anything is just too much. It’s true that some studies have shown certain video games can improve hand-eye coordination, problem-solving skills, and the mind’s ability to process information. But too much video game playing can cause health problems.

It’s hard to get enough active play and exercise if you’re always inside playing video games. And without enough exercise, kids can become overweight.

Really overdoing video games also could affect other important stuff, like friendships and how well a kid does in school. And it’s still unclear what effect violent and disturbing games have on a person’s brain.

But here’s the good news: Playing video games some of the time can be OK. Just aim for no more than 1 or 2 hours a day and choose quality games.

A good game will be the right one for how old you are. Games are rated like movies and your mom or dad can help figure out which ones you should use. If you can choose one that gets you up and moving, that’s even better.

You might challenge your mom, dad — or even your grandma — to swing the bat in a game of baseball or try out some fancy moves in one of the dancing games. Could your grandma be a dancing queen? Time to find out!
