About a week ago, I wrote about a new game containing Flo from PlayFirst and the time has come for the official release. PlayFirst has announced the release of Cooking Dash. Cooking Dash is a spin off of the DinerTown story world and Flo is back to try and save the restaurant when the main chef leaves for a cooking reality show.

“Cooking Dash serves up Flo like you’ve never seen her before,” says Kenny Shea Dinkin, vice president and creative director of PlayFirst, Inc. “She’s out off the floor and behind the grill, learning a new skill while the player learns a new type of gameplay.”

Cooking Dash is not a replacement for Diner Dash, which will have more episodic content released as well as a new full length sequel.

Look for my upcoming review of Cooking Dash and if you already know you want the game you can find it here $19.95.

Press Release Follows:

SAN FRANCISCO – August 6, 2008 – PlayFirst, Inc., the innovative entertainment company making games appealing to everyone, today announced the release of Cooking Dash™, a spin-off of the DinerTown™ story world. Diner Dash® and its three sequels, four of the most popular titles in the casual games industry, all feature the spunky, pragmatic Flo, following her adventures as she uses waitressing and customer service skills to become DinerTown’s top restaurateur. Cooking Dash, PlayFirst’s first game featuring Flo that isn’t a direct Diner Dash sequel, introduces a new gameplay style to her loyal fans.

Cooking Dash is an assembly-management game featuring Flo and her beloved grandma. The duo find themselves filling in at DinerTown’s busiest kitchens as they work to cover a cook shortage brought about by a reality TV program featuring Flo’s hardworking chef, Cookie.

PlayFirst continues to innovate new experiences in casual gameplay within exclusive story worlds built around richly defined characters and compelling storylines. This innovation consistently brings consumers back to their favorite characters while offering a wide variety of gameplay options.

An exciting story world expansion, Cooking Dash does not replace the Diner Dash series, which is scheduled to release new episodic content as well as full-length sequel games.

Cooking Dash is now available for both Mac and PC. Play a free 60-minute trial or purchase the full-version for $19.95. For more information on the game, or to purchase Cooking Dash, please visit www.playfirst.com.
