Condemned 2 aka CSI: Horror-fest
Leigh Alexander has our review of "Condemned 2: Bloodshot" and reports that it's a disconcerting mix of grizzly horror and CSI-style forensics. My favorite detail: "To keep his gun hand steady, Ethan must continue swilling alcohol salvaged from dirty alleyways and abandoned buildings."
Joe Lieberman is really gonna love this one!
Here's the intro to Leigh's review:
“Condemned 2: Bloodshot” will strike some players as a pulse-pounding, mind-challenging delight; for others, it will be a nausea-inducing nightmare. Investigator Ethan Thomas’ sophomore outing unevenly combines innovative CSI-style forensics with a bloody barrage of alcohol-induced, unsettlingly visceral violence. Ultimately, the game can’t seem to decide whether it’s a gritty cop story or a cult supernatural horror-fest; as a result, it won’t fully appeal to fans of either genre.
