Condemned was great, the atmosphere and sense of desperation and foreboding was phenomenal.

Never played the second one but it's in the mail, will get around to it sometime next year.

First one was a bit like X files/crime murder mystery with a little taste of a magical cult going on...The second one goes full magical or full action game for most of its game.  Every part feels worse than the first one it is a shame. The devs wanted to make a third one that would retcon the second one....It is a bit like ' The Darkness' also a early 360 game that tend to be for most a hidden gem but the sequel destroyed its reputation.

An open (hub) world 'The Darkness game' like the the first one would work so well in this age aswell.

I heard a lot of folks say Condemned 2 isn't as great as 1 which is why I never bothered to play it til now. I feel like I wanna experience it for myself though, as I'm not opposed to either a full-on action game or fantasy stuff. If I don't like it, meh, I got it with a "buy one get one free" deal so no real loss.

The Darkness I am looking forward to, but I don't like the second game's cartoony art style so I think I'll skip that one.

Bastard box got me again; decided to pick up FEAR 2 (avoided it for ages as it's said to be not as good as the first, but apparently it is still a fun shooter so fuck it) and Battlefield Bad Company.

Finally got around to playing Condemned 2, awesome game. Tossing up over whether to grab DMC4; I hear it has a few issues, and the fixed camera system is something I really dislike, but the core gameplay looks appealing as I did enjoy DMC 2013 and I adored the Bayonetta games.

Damn system's like a black hole, there's no escape.

DMC 4 is good, not comparable to 3 but still decent, I played it on a friend's 360 back then and I remember it running well.

But that was me from that era, nowdays it may be a bit harder to accept.

This is normal, I still have PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U plugged in the TV.

Don't play DMC4 on 360. Play the SE edition on modern systems or PC. Better resolution. Framerate. More Outfits. Can play as Vergil. Lady/Trish.

Thanks, duly noted.

Got any hidden gem recommendations btw? You seem like someone who knows their stuff in terms of lesser known games worth checking out.
