Where did it all go wrong??!? Oh that's right, when you rehashed the same game...

User Rating: 3.5 | Hellbender PC
If Microsoft hadn't bought Terminal Reality what would have happened? Would Fury3 have made Terminal Velocity the biggest seller of the year? Would Hellbender have happened? Hellbender is an example of what happened in the early days where Microsoft got involved in things it maybe should not have. Featuring the voice of (then hottie) Gillian Anderson (Scully of The X-Files fame) the game promised better environments, badder enemies, and an easier navigation system. The game did all that. It just wasn't supplied with an updated graphics subsystem. The game was, quite literally, the ugliest piece of trash I've ever played. Dark environments with funky stretched (too far stretched in my opinion) textures, an overlaying of female voice announcements, and the same gameplay as featured in Fury3 (or Terminal Velocity). Nothing was terribly landmark about the game. In fact, had they just made the levels brighter and released it as an expansion pack to an already decent game, I probably would've been much happier. But at this point, I digress. This game is 9 years old and not many people care anymore. I've written this review to just lay down the facts so that someone may look back and avoid quite possibly, the worst game ever.
