Chef Ramsay may seem like one tough shell to crack on the outside, but we all know he’s a softie on the inside. In Hell’s Kitchen, you can unlock this never before seen side to Ramsay, as long as you keep the kitchen moving. Prepare dishes, seat customers, and always get your waiters moving, as Hell’s Kitchen is a race to please the almighty head chef Ramsay and climb the ranks to the top chef.

Tending to the restaurant while staying on pace with Ramsay’s expectations, in the form of stars, is not all that Hell’s Kitchen offers the player. Real recipes, no doubt from the show and Mr. Ramsay, are found on every level the player progresses to. You can work your virtual kitchen and learn to make actual food in your own home all in one place.

The dynamics of this game are simple: point and click to make the waiter attend multiple actions, and point and click ingredients to prepare and cook meals as the chef. Picking up the game is similar to the Diner Dash series yet the concept is different. Players must choose how to balance between making the meal or serving it. The switching of kitchen to restaurant floor can become a little overwhelming, but apart from being a major aspect of the game, it’s still very rewarding to time a meal right and make Gordon tear up from your excellence as a chef. I give Hell’s Kitchen a 4 out of 5 stars.

Make your grandma proud as the family gets back into the ice cream business to take down the evil Big Co. After being run out of business by Big Co back in the day, grandma now thinks that you have what it takes to revive the ice cream business out of non-loving corporate hands. Players must network their business riding around in your tricked out ice truck and sell ice cream to all the strange individuals in town. Halloween freaks, detectives, clowns, nerds and skate punks all flock to your ice cream asking for all sorts of desserts to buy. All that’s left is for you to throw it together while keeping up with the demand.

Ice Cream Craze: Tycoon Takeover is another point and click restaurant/business game that follows the popular Diner Dash formula: click to make and serve. The concept is generic and has little difference to others of its genre. Even with the extra upgrades to the truck and serving equipment, Ice Cream Craze had me thinking it was impossible to get a five stars out of any customer unless I was psychic in preparing the ice cream. The pressure put on the game is tiring but that’s how most of these games are played. Maybe not the most unique game, but was not a let down in gameplay. I give Ice Cream Craze: Tycoon Takeover a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

In today’s day and age the demand for medical services is as high as ever. For the recently graduated Sarah, her dreams of a laid back nursing profession are put on hold as the many hospitals she is working are overflowed with sick people demanding help. Sarah quickly learns that in order to keep up with the public’s need, she has to direct the patients, bring the charts, and clean the stations. With more and more patients arriving and fewer and fewer spaces available to accommodate them, Sarah runs into the heart of Hospital Hustle’s game play.

A unique aspect to Hospital Hustle that separates it from the usual point and click Diner Dash games is the customization of the hospital. By treating patients, you earn money depending on the quality, speed, and type of treatment. With that money, players can purchase new equipment to facilitate healing, decorations for atmosphere, and even increase the pay of other employees to increase productivity.

Hospital Hustle has a lot going for it. Before starting I expected myself to stop playing the game after 10 minutes because I’ve played a whole bunch of similar genre games, however to my surprise I was unable to stop playing. The excitement of upgrades and customization to Hospital Hustle sets it far enough apart from Diner Dash, which gives you the upgrades on each successive level. I give Hospital Hustle a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
