Condemned 2 Bloodshot review PS3

If you've been a staunch supporter of the PlayStation brand, and don't own an Xbox 360, the chances are you may have missed out on the original Condemned.

Part of the 360's launch line up (and certainly one of the stronger titles amongst it), the original Condemned was a disturbing ride through horror hell, as you played Ethan Thomas, a cop hot on the trail of a deadly serial killer. Set a few years after the events of the last game, where Ethan is a broken, and bitter man, Condemned 2 again sees Ethan drawn back into the line of fire, to track down yet another group of serial killers. Yet this time, it's even better than before.

Condemned 2 is really everything it sets out to be - it's gruesome, it's at times, genuinely unnerving, and above all else, it's very, very dark, in every discernible way. Not only is the game itself, with its emphasis on sick hand-to-hand bludgeoning combat, an incredibly adult experience, but the actual environments themselves seem a lot darker in tone, with many walls coated in a mysterious black goo, which seems to spawn monsters.
