He was a character in the original Condemned in that we heard his voice over the phone once.ĭorland is the tactical commander for SCU, and seems more like a fighter than a thinker.

From what little we know of him, he seems like a reasonable guy. Ike Farrell is the director of the FBI's Serial Crimes Unit, and Ethan's old boss. There may or may not be something wrong with this guy. The killer also happened to be his nephew. Malcolm Vanhorn is an old family friend of Ethan's parents and "helped" Ethan track down a killer in the first game. Since the first game, Rosa has apparently found a great diet and a much more flattering hairstyle. We usually talk to her over the phone as she analyzes our collected evidence for us and provides support. Rosa was Ethan's 'sidekick' in the original game. Nowadays he has drinking problems, anger problems, possibly mental problems, and really just problems in general. A former FBI investigator specializing in serial killers, he quit after the events of Condemned: Criminal Origins. The story's pretty goofy but let's let people who haven't seen it experience it themselves.Įthan Thomas is the main character of the story. Even in spoiler tags cause nobody can resist mousing over those.

One last note: please don't spoil the story. It does a great job of showing off the whole game including bonus material. For people who do want to check it out, the footage for that recap video came from a great subtitled LP of Condemned: Criminal Origins by Chip Cheezum. For those of you who won't check out the first Condemned, I have included a short recap video at the start of the first video to make sure you'll at least have the right idea. While maybe not totally necessary, this game continues and plays off of characters, themes, and story arcs introduced during the first game. I highly recommend you play/watch Condemned: Criminal Origins before watching this LP Despite the craziness, the game received good reviews. The mechanics of the game are much better, both graphically and gameplay-wise however the story sort of loses its intrigue and atmosphere and goes kinda batshit crazy. In fact, this game can be seen as a prototypical sequel. Developed by Monolith Studios and published by Sega, Condemned 2 retains the first-person action/horror style of the original Condemned while advancing the story.


It is a sequel to the game Condemned: Criminal Origins, which was released in 2005 as a launch title for the Xbox 360. Condemned 2: Bloodshot was released on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 in early 2008.
