If you want a game that is addictive, will make you laugh and put you off chunky chocolate for life then Cookie is my recommendation.

You play Charlie the Chef who has the terrifying task of trying to bake a cake amidst a host of intimidating ingredients, such as the Crafty Cheese and Chunky Chocolate, who do not want to go into his bowl.

Charlie can throw bags of flour at these grotesque groceries to make them change direction as they maraud about the screen and charge out of the pantry when he least expects it.

An added difficulty is the hilarious bin monster who eats ingredients and throws rampaging rubbish around.

The game starts with Colonel Custard and if you manage to hit ten of his species into the bowl you go on to tackle the Sneaky Sugar. After many frantic and enjoyable games, I eventually became good enough to take on the mixed peel but was soon stomped into a tangy termination!

The graphics are well up to Ultimate's excellent level (the bin monster being a work of art) and good use of sound is made in this excellent game.
