As soon as you think you have figured something out, a new piece of evidence surfaces or alliances shift, and you're literally back to square one. One of the best things about the story in Condemned 2: Bloodshot is that it always keeps you guessing. The "Influenced" encompass a host of people who used to be human, but have since been claimed in a most sinister and heinous way. However, when a strange message is left for the current members of the special forces, Ethan Thomas is forced to once again enter the underworld, where "Influenced" enemies with super-human strength and an other-worldly passion attack with an other-worldly viciousness. He is tormented by visions of the horrifying things he experienced as a member of the force, and can't shake his bad memories. Ethan has had a rough time since the events of the original Condemned, and now frequents bars and smells worse than a hobo. Of course, we have to talk about the story first: Condemned 2: Bloodshot picks up the story of former special investigator Ethan Thomas. Condemned 2: Bloodshot offers an immersive experience that looks, sounds, and genuinely feels like a horror game should. Condemned 2: Bloodshot definitely represents a great entry in the horror genre, and it's not just because it has a creepy story behind it. I knew Condemned 2: Bloodshot was going to be a scary game, but I didn't realize just how terrifying a game could be. And if I'm being honest, I have never made it through any of those games. But as most gamers will tell you, Resident Evil is not very scary.
Sure, I've played a whole bunch of "horror" games in my time, mostly from the Resident Evil series. When I took on Condemned 2: Bloodshot, I was pretty excited.
