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.

Silent Hill: Shattered MemoriesSilent Hill: Shattered Memories is the seventh installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a stand-alone reimagining of the original Silent Hill video game. Once again, you will cast Harry Mason searching across the haunted town for his missing daughter Cheryl. Through his exploration, Harry will come across objects and recordings that tell some of the history of Silent Hill. New to the series are a depiction of Silent Hill's demonic alter-dimension as a world of ice, and the removal of weapons from the game: when the monsters come out, Harry must literally run for his life. Between scenes, the game will cut to a psychiatrist's office, who asks personal questions about Harry and his past experiences. The game will then alter itself based on the player's responses, changing characters and lines of dialog to something intended to be more personally uncomfortable.Horror Survival
Silent Hill: DownpourSilent Hill: Downpour is the eighth Silent Hill video game installment and the last fully-released video game in the series. Just like its predecessors, Downpour combines exploring abandoned surroundings, talking to characters, and solving puzzles, set against a slow, psychological horror theme. Different from the previous game Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is the return of combat. The player often has to fight off monsters using a variety of weapons, but he can carry only one melee and one ranged weapon who can deteriorate over time. Entirely new to the series is the introduction of a weather system: there is a full day and night cycle and rain often warns the player of danger that is approaching. It is possible to hide until the weather becomes better again.Horror Survival
Silent Hill: OriginsSilent Hill: Origins is the fifth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a prequel to the original game. As in the previous entries, the player move back and forth between nightmare and real versions of the town, gathering items used to solve puzzles and open up new areas. Monsters of various types provide obstacles and, in series tradition, are mostly disturbingly twisted versions of humanity. The main character can fight with his bare fists or use melee weapons. Unlike previous games in the series, melee weapons break after a time. There are also one-shot items that can be thrown and several guns. There is no HUD, but the edge of the screen turns red when the protagonist is near death.Horror Survival

PlanetSidePlanetSide chronicles the efforts of three factions as they fight for territorial control over ten different continents on the planet Auraxis. Players take on the role of individual soldiers fighting for one of the three factions within the game, and can specialize in various fields such as combat vehicle crewman, infantry, invisible infiltrator or a variety of combat support roles such as combat medic or combat engineer. The game is played primarily in a first person perspective, with the option of third-person.
Unlike most shooting games, in which small-scale matches take place in essentially an instanced map, PlanetSide battles can involve hundreds of players in a single fight. PlanetSide battles concern control over territory and strategic points, and can cause repercussions to all three factions. To date, PlanetSide remains one of the few MMOFPS games ever created. A sequel, PlanetSide 2, was released in November, 2012. On January 24, 2014 Sony Online Entertainment announced that the game was going to be free-to-play in April 2014. The game was officially launched as free to play on April 29, after several delays.
On July 1st 2016, at 4:00pm PT, Planetside servers went offline permanently.Action Science fiction Stealth
Resident Evil SurvivorResident Evil Survivor is the first Resident Evil title to be rendered in real time as opposed to making use of pre-rendered backdrops. Levels are explored in first person, and when enemies are encountered the press of a button will bring up a targeting reticle for shooting. As with most light-gun games there is infinite pistol ammunition available, but limited ammunition for more powerful weapons. At the end of each level two doors are presented which both lead to different levels, although all paths eventually lead to the same ending.Action Horror Survival
