![]() ![]() I'd actually never played Diner Dash before, but it's clear why it's spawned so many sequels, ports, and ripoffs over the years: It's just damn fun.Ĭhef Ramsay makes a very good cartoon. Tap tap tap: beef to grill, burger to bun, bun to condiment station, a final tap to take finished burger to the patron, and a big swipe to collect tips from satisfied customer. There's an easy hypnotic rhythm to tapping and swiping to best satisfy your customers. The goal of the game is to get the highest ranking in all stages of service at the different restaurants that open when you've managed that, there's promise of more restaurants to be unlocked in future game updates to keep you addicted. Customers sit down at your counter to order and your tiny chef gets to doling out burgers, fries, and onion rings. You create your little chef avatar and control a burger joint in San Francisco. Gordon's game casts you as the star of a new reality series, Rising Star Chefs. They might be easier to put down if that were the case. This is not to say that Glu is cranking out cheap or slapdash cash-grab tie-ins. Just as Kim Kardashian: Hollywood was basically just a celebrity paint job over an existing Glu property (an app called Stardom: The A-List), Gordon Ramsay DASH is just a version of the venerable game Diner Dash with some Hell's Kitchen spattered all over it. It is simply a chump move for an enterprising celeb to turn down the chance to make some fat bank off of in-app purchases. And all it took was licensing her image, recording a few lines of dialogue, and occasionally shooting a little video message to app users. Or purse? With that kind of money, she can have as many purses and dresses with pockets as she wants. Kim K's celebrity lifestyle simulator has reportedly netted Glu over $100 million dollars since its release, with Kim herself putting possibly 45 percent of that profit into her pocket. Gordon Ramsay DASH is the latest in celebrity tie-in games from Glu Mobile, which previously struck app store gold in 2014 with the release of Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. The latter guaranteed I'd be spending actual American dollars on this game and possibly be discussing it with my therapist. ![]() When I completed the first stage of Gordon Ramsay DASH, I was rewarded by a little cartoon of Gordon Ramsay smiling at me, my phone playing a clip of his voice telling me I did a great job, and a dopamine squirt in my brain. ![]()
