Gaming Hell is a most curious corner of the internet, and the fact that you're even here speaks volumes about you. It's a video game website, but while other websites pertaining to video games will have, I dunno, a certain kind of structure to them, we don't roll like that here. This site serves as an excuse for me (that's Ant Cooke to you, a retro game enthusiast/self-loathing hack of a writer) to write way too much about video games you've probably never heard of, and make the poor editor (also known as Ed) cry like a little girl into his safety blanket. We toil night and day to entertain you, the reader, and the fruit of our labour is this little trash-heap, where you'll laugh, you'll cry, but you'll mostly scratch your head in confusion. One thing this site isn't is one of those irritating 'LOOOOL I NERD-RAGE FOR THE LULZ! CONTRA IZ HRD!!! ACTION 52 IS TEH SUXXXOR!!!1' review places. No, no, the purpose of this website is to entertain and educate. Apparently. Each game chosen is either interesting, obscure, or a Sailor Moon game in a sick running joke that'll never get old, and I don't 'play' these games so much as utterly destroy them, going into as much detail as possible without making my head explode. At the end of each playthrough, I always try to reason why each game is good or bad, and I even include some bonus stuff if I've got any to hand. You won't leave this website without learning something, you can bet on that! Just like you should always bet on Duke Nukem Forever being released this year. Warning! I ocassionally use naughty words like 'poo' and 'arseberries', ohohoho! I also use lots of screenshots, so watch out for that, assuming you can make your way around the gigantic walls of text that accompany each page. If the images don't load, just refresh the page and pray that they do. I will be updating this site when I damn well feel like it... Usually once a month. Please look forward to it! My email address, should you wish to give comments, suggestions, death-threats, etc. is TheMetalSlug at gmail dot com. 3rd January, 2010 - Happy New Year! And so it came to pass that the foul element known as The Suck was vanquished from this, the strongest website. Operation: Make-This-Website-Not-Suck is once again in effect. This time, I went through every single page again and cleaned everything up- fixed the lingering typos, got rid of the bits that sucked, improved some parts dramatically, and most importantly, removed the vile pro-Valve propagnada on the Fighting Vipers page (how did that get there? Ed, I'm looking at you!) [It was not me, it was the one-armed man - Ed] It was interesting, really- I've improved in this whole 'game review' malarkey quite a bit since I started in May '08. It's not like the first few reviews are terrible, exaclty, it's just that when you read them, it's blatantly obvious that I've got no idea what I'm doing. Ah, yes, those were more innocent times... Anyway, let's hope that 2010 is a bit more productive than 2009 was. 31st December, 2009 - If you're gonna cut it, cut it close. This update's a bit late, eh? In fact, 2009's been a pretty crappy year for this site. This is because I've been monstrously ill lately (possibly divine retribution for uploading that Touhou Project article?) but my unending tenacity means that no matter what, Gaming Hell will never die! This month, we have a two-fisted hammer blow of 90s excess for you in the form of a short ditty on King of the Monsters, and a longer diatrabe on King of the Monsters 2 - The Next Thing. That's it for now, but over the next few days, I'm going to be re-initiating Operation: Make-This-Website-Not-Suck and going through this entire site with a fine toothcomb- expect some results on Sunday. Finally, to plug my work on a different (and far better looking) website, I'm now writing a weekly column on VGMastersClub all about old-school arcade games. Read it! 4th November, 2009 - Well, would you look at that. October completely disappeared without an update! Isn't that terrible? Well, no. No it isn't, because things have been very strange for me lately. I'll put it like this- at one point I was considering updating this place from a grotty café in Southport because I had no other option. Getting back to the point, Let's Gaming Love gets updated after a brief excursion into photography! This week, it's a somewhat beardy look at Puzzle Bobble 4 and why I refer to it as 'the shark-jumping bastard child of the series', an expression that's up there with 'playing Hard Head 2 is akin to putting one's hand in a vice while searing hot needles are shoved into your feet and a firing squad takes potshots at you with napalm rounds' as one of my favourite quotes from this site, humility be damned. Please, enjoy. * A quick-n-dirty guide to The Return of Ishtar, just enough to give you a fighting chance. * A full script to the so-bad-it's-good fighting game Bloody Roar 2, with hot animal-on-animal action! * More games reviewed, like Mountain of Faith, Bubble Bobble 2, Firo & Klawd and Global Defence Force. |
