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.
