The happy hedgehogs of Sega France have invited us in their office for an afternoon, locked-up in a dark room with the first four levels of Condemned 2: Bloodshot. Since our direct-feed capture laptop is going through some technical issues, we had to grab footage the good ol'way. Be assured that we'll make it up as soon as we get a review disc. Until then, we propose you the classy introduction of the game, a five minutes long gameplay montage recorded during a session in the second level, and about thirty screenshots. More videos will follow quickly, stay tuned !
Update: Gameplay of levels 3 and 4 added !

Commented on 2008-03-06 02:18:27But do they ever explain the ending to the 1st game? Hope someone can answer me that, because that was one HUGE cliffhanger.
If you didn't find Condemned 1 scary, then I admire your balls. But I found it really freaky, disturbing, and damn creepy at times. A lot of jump moments in there. Enemies popping out from behind pillars. Santa mannequin dolls, that department store was so epic. Also, the school and the locker (if you've seen Se7en you'll get the reference). I hope some mention is given to the last murder case with the SKX and the murderer's father deal.

But the reality is that fear is something we all have and feel. If you dont allow yourself to be immersed so deep in a game or movie, to allow yourself to be scared shitless, its just a different kind of fear.
A fear of letting go of control, a fear of letting yourself be afraid.
Its like chicks who hold their hands over their eyes if they dont like scary movies, its a fear of the fear. Why not just let yourself be scared? Its a quite refreshing feeling :)

Hahahahaha. Classic pwnage right there. Nice work, Colin. That's some GETPWNED-level pwnage if I ever saw some. Hehe.
This game will pwn so hard. I even had to bust-out the original today, blow off some dust from the cover, and give it a go. So good...

Commented on 2008-03-09 02:08:15The latter isn't all that shocking, but a 5/10? Ouch... I can't even imagine the game getting less than a 6 if it were only half as good as the first one.
Commented on 2008-03-14 04:18:34OK, this is pretty much the greatest game ever made.
Commented on 2008-03-14 19:03:54Did they pull the demo of marketplace again or what? It's nowhere to be seen. Not on EU marketplace or NA marketplace. Has it been up at all, who anounced it to begin with?
There's no mention of it at major nelson's URL either, nor on Xbox.com?!
Edit: Apparently Sega jumped the gun a bit and retracted their earlier statement. *sigh*
