Condemned is great in my opinion. The times is scared the hell out of me just added to it being a great launch title.

Condemned 2 on the other hand isn't a great title. It wasn't bad but not equal to the original.

If you pm/email me your address then I'll give you my copy of Condemned 2 to make your own mind up later.

Thanks for the offer but I have the second one on the shelf to play that came with the xbox Wanted to play the original first (which seems wise if the second one is iffy).

1. Infact I believe it is yours too

Just finished it. Final 'boss' as a PITA tbh. Relying on those 2 useless allies to help stop advanced hybrids/angels killing you whilst you destroy cores?! Useless buggers tbh

Got rather mad when I finished it too as I had destroyed the last rod but then died. Turns out the woman (really didn't pay attention ) had 1 more word left to say and I would have finished :|

I still stand by my earlier comments however of an average shooter with godawful checkpoints. Oh and some of the levels are stupidly short.

Aye by todays standards it's average, at the time it was good (mostly because of graphics i'll admit), as i say, times have changed and games have improved and it's been exposed as the (possibly below) average shooter that it is. Sequel is much better though, you're welcome to borrow it

Playing nothing at the moment.
I have no games that I want to play. No games installed.

Even stopped playing Mario Kart...

On the bright side, you've got good taste in music.

He rocks - just bought the Stomp Boogie box set. 3 cd's of his early stuff.

You should see what else is playing - it's a 3 day playlist that's stuck on random.
Seasick Steve, Crowded House, Queen, Genesis, 9 Below Zero, Eric Clapton, R.E.M., Muddy Waters...

Last few tracks have all been Seasick Steve - really not sure about Foobar's randomness...

Foobar sucks at random but rocks at taste, Steve is a legend, saw him live at Hyde Park dare i say it he was as good as Neil Young.

I only got to the 4th level of Condemned 2 IIRC. Just after you can 5* your first investigation on someone. It feels like a totally different game. Never got it finished. Have the full 970/970 on the first.
