Deformed and depraved bums and winos were crawling out of the woodwork to kill you and a strange monster was stalking Ethan on his hunt. Dead birds were raining in the night-drenched city, seemingly killed by some sort of sonic attack which was also driving people insane. Now, that may sound simple, but Condemned The First rapidly complicated matters. Teaming up with his old partner and a mysterious old man who Ethan remembers from his childhood, the main task throughout the game is to stay one step ahead of the police and bring the real killer to justice. To quickly recap, the original Condemned started with players as Ethan Thomas, an investigator for the FBI specialising in serial killers, who gets framed for murder and is forced on the run. I suppose part of my obsession with Condemned comes from my overpowering curiosity.

The cliffhanger ending to the original Condemned was arguably the weakest point of the first game and, although I’ve played Criminal Origins through at least five times and unlocked all the extras possible, I’m still not exactly sure of the story line. So, naturally when the invite arrived from Sega to nip over to its UK headquarters to go hands-on with both the singleplayer and multiplayer sides of the sequel to one of the Xbox 360’s scariest FPSs, I was all over it like blood on a crime scene. Condemned 2: Bloodshot Hands-on Publisher: SegaĬondemned: Criminal Origins was one of my favourite games on the Xbox 360 and PC and I’ve lamented before about how Criminal Origins was, ironically, criminally ignored by many gamers.
