Hello there, and welcome to Gaming Hell, the video game website with guts! Huge guts!

To be honest, pal- can I call you pal? I know we probably don't know each other but you've essentially entered my home, so we might as well drop formalities- if you've clocked the site's name, then yes, it's what you think it is. Just another video game review / archive website, hosted by your intrepid reporter lackwit writer, Ant, and 'helped' into 'print' by the long-suffering editor (affectionately known as Ed) who spends most of his time crying into his safety blanket when he sees what I've left for him to edit this time. [Watch it, or I'll knock you spark out! - Ed] It can be flippant here, and there's the odd swear word (I mean, have you seen some of the crap I've played?) but at its heart, Gaming Hell has only two objectives:

To entertain and inform its readership!

With that in mind, please, enjoy your stay. On this site, I type a lot of words about (mostly old) video games that interest me. Note that I said interest, not necessarily like. If I can get fired up about it, I'll write a thing on it in the hope that you, the reader, find it interesting too. Furthermore, every game covered on this site in any capacity- be it a full play-through, a short article, or a guide- is given as thorough a going-over as I can. I like going into detail! It's fun! Especially since these are usually the kinds of game no-one really cares about- I'd call them mid-tier, as they're not super-obscure but you've probably forgotten their names already. We've got a few sections here, so make your way to the individual hub pages to look at all articles of a specific type, or just dive right into The Full English!

I hope you find this site useful. Just remember, though, that while games are taken seriously here, everything else is a pack of lies. Well, most of it. Oh, and it's updated once a month, give or take, so look forward to it. Comments, suggestions, death threats, etc., can be sent to TheMetalSlug at Gmail dot com.


Updates!! Fun!!

1st March, 2024 - Ooh, a console-exclusive Namco game, how exciting! It's their weird sliding-block puzzle game, Megapanel, a game I did my best not to constantly compare to Panel de Pon. It does, however, have a connection to an unreleased arcade game, so that's exciting! Also a bit of Skeb art on the updates page.

And now for an ill-fitting dump of links for all and sundry to view.
(In other words, I can't design a website and couldn't find another place for this, so here's some shit.)
