As of writing this on January 29th 2025, Condemned 2 is completely locked to the PS3 and Xbox 360 legally, with no PC port or backwards compatibility on modern Xbox systems like the original. Though I have extremely mixed thoughts about the game, the fact it isn't properly preserved like the original always baffled me. Why leave it behind when Criminal Origins is readily playable on modern hardware and Xbox systems? I would love for someone to make a remaster or at least a PC port just so that it's preserved, if nothing more than so a whole new generation get to experience the bear level for the first time.
Without exaggerating, it is my favorite game of all time. It has greatly influenced my art in the time since I played it and I think about the atmosphere very frequently to this day. I have picked apart the lore, characters, backgrounds, maps, models - for 16 years, and still find new details all the time.
It is my comfort game - as strange as that sounds for a horror game about brawling in alleyways. It was divisive but had an incredibly loyal following at one time.
I used to host multiplayer matches for 20 hours at a time and wake up to the grunting, screaming, and crunching noises of people having a great time together. Met several friends on the multiplayer mode who are still with me today.
Whether you love it or hate it - everyone remembers the bear.
Addictive and smooth melee combat, rare for the time. Still feels superior to some other melee-focused FPS games to this day. Memorable villains, incredible atmosphere, consistent art direction, the graphics hold up to this day.
Currently it is only officially accessible on PS3 and Xbox 360, and is not backwards compatible on either console's successors.
I've bought the previous game for several friends, and would gladly gift new copies of this one as well, were it made available for PC.
Like another user said about this game, I have mixed thoughts on Condemned 2, but I find it weird that a PC port was never made.
At least with Condemned: Criminal Origins, it's still on Steam (You'd have to download a patch to run it), and you can play it on Xbox One/Xbox Series X and S via backward compatibility.
Many people also want to play Condemned 2: Criminal Origins but don't want to spend much money on an older console or emulate it using a game system they own.
lots of good games were totally dead with their console system. condemned 2 is one of them. i played this game on my xbox 360, and it was quite good. i was young and dumb so i sold my xbox 360 and its games, now i have no way to play this game. i want this game back.
I am being asked to share my memories of this game but idk why it's assumed I've played it just because I think it should be preserved. Preservation should also be about giving an opportunity for certain titles that deserve to be played. Condemned was great and would like to experience Condemned 2.
After WB Games just shutdown Monolith Productions yesterday (25/02/2025), it is more important than ever ALL IPs from now-defunct Monolith Productions are preserved! In the case of Condemned 2: Bloodshot, there is visceral first-person brawls, investigations, disturbing atmosphere, very limited ammo and lots of explorations to find secrets in the levels; in fact, the combat in first person humiliates most of first-person games where there is usually just a melee button, a block button and maybe a doge. This game is a fantastic of how much first-person combat is fun is game studios want to.
This game canNOT be stuck on PS3/Xbox360 anymore!
Lots of things make this game special for me the story alone definitely does hands down it just was a better all game each level with the exception of the lodge was my favourite and I played it more times than I can possibly count for me that says alot about the game as a whole it kept me going and wanting more shame there was no follow up though
Condemned is a cult classic and one of my favorite horror games. I bet a lot of people haven't played Condemned 2 because it's only on ps3 and xbox 360, and I wish they could play it. It would be amazing to see this game on GOG.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
