Hyperbolic, abrasive celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay brings his trademark verbal abuse -- but thankfully none of the show's moronic contestants -- to the videogame adaptation of "Hell's Kitchen."The game employs Ramsay's high-intensity style to make an unoriginal but competent restaurant management simulator crazier and more fun than it has any right to be. Casual players who want to be authentically cursed out while running a kitchen should make this adaptation at least a modest success.
This week, DesertEagle, Samurage, and BlueSwim offer impressions of Call of Juarez: The Cartel, Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten, Chase Ace: Off-World Leagues, as well as a slew of Android diversions. Despite momentarily lapse where a Gordon Ramsey-smitten crew member contemplates the virtues of Hell’s Kitchen for the Nintendo DS, we venture further into the realm of gaming by hosting Certain Affinity’s Tom Potter, who talks about upcoming XBLA title, Crimson Alliance. Of course, it wouldn’t be an episode of the Tech-Gaming podcast with trivia, responses to reader mail, and a dose of sophomoric humor.
Hell's Kitchen has the worst intro of any show I have ever seen! Every year it gets worse. They should fire those that put that crap together!
A game based off the smash Channel 4 television show, Come Dine With Me? Absurd. Why even suggest such a thing?...

After he burst onto the scene with the original Chopper for the iPhone, which went on to sell hundreds of thousands of units, Frampton has spent the last few years working on the sequel. Already within a week of launch, Chopper 2 has rocketed to the top of Apple's US Top 100 iPhone apps list and is still going strong. Considering the first Chopper paid for his house, it’s fairly safe to say that Frampton will be able to retire off his follow-up title."
