I received our review copy of the SuperVillian Games-developed Wii cooking title Order Up! this weekend, and was surprised to find that it came packed with its own peripheral ... a chefs hat!

OK, fine -- the hat itself serves absolutely no purpose when it comes to actual gameplay, but it is helping me get into the mood. Order Up! can best be described as Cooking Mama meets The Sims meets Diner Dash. So how's that mash-up working out? I lost about two hours to the game last night, as I started my career as a short order cook in my very own restaurant, Gravy Chug. You'll have to wait for our forthcoming review to find out whether that's a good thing or not.

Pictured above is RetroforceGO!'s Topher Cantler trying to cut a tomato with a Wii Remote while wearing the Order Up! Burger Face chef hat. Want your own? Order Up! shipped to stores last week, and every single copy of the game is packed with a chefs hat. Brilliant!

So that's why they didn't just make this WiiWare.

I'd rather have Order Up! ship with my very own RetroforceGO!'s Topher Cantler to cook delicious food for me. Does that come with the Collector's Edition?

There's plenty of fun in this one. Controls are surprisingly responsive, gameplay is somewhat addictive(Yeah, they shoved RPG-elements in it. Come to think of, they shoved RPG-elements in everything. EVERYTHING), graphics do not lead to eye sore due to a comic art design that melds perfectly with the spirit of the game and there's some giggling moments to be had from stereotyping.
You won't burst your ass off in laughter, think it's the best game you've played lately(hell, it's a little above mediocrity) or believe it was actually worth the money you invested on it, but you're gonna have some fun.
AND it works great with girls. Of course, if you can make them overcome the kitchen-related feminist hatred.
A "should-rent" with merits.

Is it anything like Ore No Ryomi 2: The Restaurant? Because I got totally addicted to that game a few summers ago.

I bet if you didn't want to use it as a hat you could stick your burger in there!

Dex: I met the guy who made Ore No Ryomi 2. Don't know where he is now, though.
