Since the Wii's conception, developers and publishers have jumped on the bandwagon to push the casual gaming market to a new level. The dizzying array of titles has swamped the market faster than you can shake the Wiimote. Hell's Kitchen, inspired by the hit Fox TV series, is a new game on the casual chopping block. Does Hell's spark a flame or is it just another title in this marketing frenzy?

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.

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."
