Though devoid of fun, I'd like to say that the gameplay was challenging in the sense that it does offer a sense of accomplishment; quickly analyzing the dishes and prioritizing the cooking order feels like some kind of nerdy challenge. However, the sheer, mind-boggling repetitiveness of the game nullifies that; the only thing Hell's Kitchen teaches you to do is click on a mouse quickly. In fact, the mouse clicking is so repetitive and rapid it actually started to hurt; jolts of pain raced up my fingers and arm. So you've been warned: the only real recipe in Hell's Kitchen is the one for carpal tunnel syndrome.
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?...
NZGamer writes: "Full kudos to David Frampton, a local chap from Wellington who has managed to crack that ever elusive US iTunes market. 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."
