  • LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Cont
    Published Date: Dec 17, 2009

    There is no denying that Lego games based on successful movies will have an audience. The problem with Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues is that it is essentially a clone of the other Lego games and while evidence exists that Traveller’s Tales made some attempts to enhance the g...

  • Left 4 Dead 2
    Published Date: Dec 1, 2009

    When Left 4 Dead was released just about a year ago, we at HellBored praised the AI programming, and relished the simplicity of the game’s premise. We appreciated the tension created by effective lighting and sound effects. We said that there were some issues regarding graphics and variety....

  • Lord of the Rings: Conquest
    Published Date: Jan 28, 2009

    Oh, but it sounds so wonderful. Hack and slash your way through the various battles of Middle Earth, as an archer, magician, soldier or scout, shifting the tide of battle with your skills and allowing you to get literally knee deep in the action. Play as Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and uh, F...

    Published Date: Dec 19, 2008

    The idea is so simple some may say it would have been done as a downloadable game from the PSN or Xbox Live and it would have been okay. Others have already fallen in love with the online component and see it as a bloodier version of Counterstrike. At HellBored, we think both. The game f...

    Well, it looks like it’s not going to be a miserable Christmas for the PS3. Despite a delay because a musical reference to the Qur-an, LittleBigPlanet landed recently and it’s an absolute blast to play. The premise is simple: guide your character, Sackboy, through a variety of levels an...

    Published Date: Oct 25, 2008

    I was a real fan of Lego Star Wars when the original was released. It was a time in my life with lots of travel, and I brought my trusty PSP with me everywhere, and I loved the cutesy mumbling, the knee-less running, and the gentility of the whole thing. However, back then, it was a new depar...

  • LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventu
    Published Date: Jul 17, 2008

    LEGO Star Wars was a surprise success, considering there wasn’t a huge media machine behind it, and rightly so. The world which the developers at Traveller’s Tales tackled was one that many had a soft spot for, so as long as it wasn’t shambolic it was always going to have an audience. Well, ...
