With the launch of the Xbox 360 came the new game pricing point of $59.99 being pushed by most publishers (outside of Microsoft Games)...
Well, it is now time to rejoice fellow penny pinchers, as it is now being reported that two more games are joining the $39.99 party! Condemned and Riiidge Racer!
SEGA's Condemned: Criminal Origins arrived as an innovative yet flawed Xbox 360 launch title, but is worth revisiting on modern consoles.
Would actually love to see a remake/reboot of Condemned. So very underappreciated... I was a bit of an Xbox hateboy back during the time this came out. But I did own a 360 for a short time back then. Thankfully this is one of the games I got to check out. Thanks to it being super cheap at a GameStop. At least it got a sequel, but it deserved to be a whole franchise honestly.
I didn't think the second was bad. It just didn't feel like the original, and went really off the rails with the sorting.
It was like playing Condemned while you're really sick, and Condemned was the fever dream that came after you went to sleep.
I am still playing Condemned 1 & 2. Both games deserve a remake or remaster. I am still baffled why 2 is not on the back compat list.

We can only hope that we will at least get a port to the Condemned 2: Bloodshot game on PC and current-gen consoles, or why not a sequel someday soon? One can only dream."
Condemned was amazing! Had a really cool multi-player as well, such a shame it we never got another one after 2. Brings back some great memories on the 360. Condemned was definitely one of the first games I picked up for the 360. Loved the atmosphere and the amount of melee items you could utilize. Would really love if Microsoft could somehow reboot this franchise!
I never got to play the MP for 2 but my brother always mentions about how good it was.
It's a shame we never got a third game. The original was better than the second, in my opinion, but that's far from saying the second was bad.
Ive never been more scared of a game than the doctor who esque weeping angels mannequins in the sequel
As one of the best methodical, slow-burn horror games of last generation, Condemned: Criminal Origins really deserves a remake.
This is one of the scariest games I played on my 360. I kept it, cause if was a instant classic.
I remember when the first trailers for Xbox 360/PS3 games were coming out, this was the first game that screamed Next-gen to me. It still looks good now
Condemned is great, Ridge Racer s*cks. But what would you expect from a Sony franchise title...
TheMart should play games before spitting that junk out of his mouth. I heard Condemned was great but too short. Ridge Racer is a GREAT arcade racer. Fast, fun, and beautiful to look at.
Ignore losers like TheMART !!!!!!
awesome!
