Hello. We are taking the week off this week. Please consider giving your support to the excellent outlet RE:BIND. They do excellent work over there writing about curious vidcons by smaller teams as well as very deep, satisfying reads of recent AAA games. If you find yourself enjoying, please consider donating to their Patreon as well….
REAL, PRETEND JOURNALISM
At four o’clock on Sunday afternoon, all of the sick emotion I felt in the pit of my stomach welled back up to the surface, as if they were a deep-sea creature confirming its existence. A brief and apologetic conversation later, there I was. Flat footed on concrete in the Arizona sun. A feeling like…
UNSTOPPING
At night in my dreams, it’s always the same thing. The world drowns in fire around me. Like many things, this mostly has to do with the fact that I played too much R-Type as a kid. The unique vision of the apocalypse that these spaceship vs. 1 million guys games offered is unparalleled. Different…
TAIYOU, ROUND 2
We’re “bringing in the new year” this year with a second appearance at Arizona’s January Anime convention Taiyou Con. We’ve been before and always have the most swell time. As DEEP HELL dot com’s primary mission is to fly in the face of corporate capitalism, we enjoy these spaces as some of the rare places…
DRACULA’S CASTLE
while we pass on in just a few days into a new decade, my mind still reels from the past. there will likely be an article about why it’s so impossible to succintly sum up a decade like this one before the end of the year, but now, here we are. all we can think…
WHAT THE BEST OF 2019 SAY ABOUT YOU
THIS is it FOLKS. The end of the line. The last stop at the station. Anybody getting off in this decade? I AM! We did it last year. We’re doing it again this year. Nobody can tell us what to do but our own regrets about the past. I’d say BUCKLE UP but it’s actually…
TOYS
hello. we’ve been kind of out of it since we got in a car crash on wednesday night. Deep-Hell is primarily not a blog and we like to think of ourselves as critics. That being said, please enjoy this piece of light reading. Part of the reason I still assemble Gundam models (known as Gunpla…
IT’S ALL COPS AT THE END OF THE WORLD
Hear me out here: It’s 2019 and neither of us like cops. Astral Chain is a Cop Game. It’s not just a Cop Game It’s The Cop Game. You play a police officer gifted a special ability to control Legions and you use those to engage in the world through well-enacted Action Game stuff. Roll…
CRITICAL CONSENSUS
I have not played Death Stranding. It has been years since I was given a review code for anything, and I sure as heck don’t want to make them part of my business model here. (That is a joke. If big developers are listening, give me your games for free.) I feel like I know…
BUY ONE GET ONE-‘st
The fantasy of sitting on a jeweled throne is one of complacency. To be cared for in all avenues of life, while still being able to give out an edict to the general public (that’s most of us) that everybody still has to listen to. While no man is king, there are certainly those that…
