First $#&*ing Look - Hell's Kitchen

If you thought Diner Dash was stressful, try spending some time in Hell's Kitchen - the domain of world-renowned (and notoriously foul-mouthed) chef Gordon Ramsay. The upcoming game from Ludia is a recreation of Gordon's popular Hell's Kitchen reality TV cooking show, where you'll be the newest recruit in a culinary boot camp as he tries to mold a ragtag group of recruits into five-star chefs.

The action in this time management game is split between the dining room and the kitchen, with success measured by how well and quickly you can prepare and serve various dishes. Your performance is rated by a lifelike 3D scowling rendition of Gordon Ramsay who won't hesitate to heap on the insults and abuse if you don't meet his expectations.

Hell's Kitchen

Do you have what it takes to survive Hell’s Kitchen? Find out in the new game based on the hit TV series. Starring none other than Michelin Starred chef Gordon Ramsay, Hell’s Kitchen the game serves up some hot time management fun.
 
Right off the bat you are greeted with Chef Ramsay’s cold, penetrating stare, letting you know that this will not be your average casual game. You’ll have to cook up the goods and prove your mettle in the kitchen to meet the Chef’s exacting demands. You start off ranked as a lowly dishwasher, but if you can prove your worth, you can quickly advance and become a Hell’s Kitchen apprentice. Continue to climb the ranks as you improve your skills, and you'll eventually earn the rank of Senior Chef.

Where's Waldo?: The Fantastic Journey

Well, it's about time.

The hottest casual game genre on the planet pretty much owes its success to the Where's Waldo books that challenge kids to search for and find well-hidden objects in a busy scene.

And now, years later, we have the first Where's Waldo "hidden-object game" (HOG) for PCs and iPhone -- Where's Waldo: The Fantastic Journey is based on the beloved book series by British illustrator Martin Handford. (Factoid: the first book was called Where's Wally?, in 1987).
 
So does this new HOG live up to its influential namesake? Yes it does, though it's not a perfect adventure.
