PS3 Feature | Condemned 2: Bloodshot
Sept 18, 2007 Has it really been two years since we dove into dark, grimy sewers and beat junkies to death? If you're going through Condemned withdrawals, know that part two is on track for a 2008 release, and we've got the latest news on the grim and gritty Metro City. GamesRadar: The original Condemned was creepy as hell, but up until the end, most of your enemies were just normal humans who'd been driven insane. Can players expect more brushes with the supernatural this time? Dave Hasle, ...

PS3 Feature | Condemned 2: Bloodshot
Condemned 2: Bloodshot is already shaping up to be as sick as the original and for that reason alone we love it. But there's so much more to look forward to. The original was the pick of the Xbox 360 launch line-up for us and we've been waiting to see the sequel in action since it was announced a few months back. At E3 we got to see the game running on a 360 and chatted to senior Sega producer Constantine Hantzopoulos. If every producer we spoke to was as forthcoming, entertaining and ...

360 Feature | Crackdown
The Shai-Gen are the most dangerous and difficult gang in the game. They should be tackled last, when your skills are very close to their peak. The Shai-Gen buildings are by far the toughest to break into and scale, with their lack of ledges and very few entrances. These entrances can very quickly turn into bottlenecks full of extremely well-armed Shai-Gen. So – as the disembodied voice tells you – speed and surprise should always figure heavily in your arsenal. Alongside a rocket ...

360 Feature | Crackdown
The Volk are extremely well armed, and youll come to notice this when you try to take over their supply keeps.

360 Feature | Crackdown
Comic book superheroes are tailor-made for videogames. Their extraordinary abilities, like superhuman endurance and gravity-defying leaps, perfectly translate into the kind of otherworldly powers we like to see in our gaming avatars. It used to be a sad cliché that all comic book games were garbage, but as we told you last year, Spidey and pals are starting to get a fair shake when it comes to videogames. Then there's a game like Crackdown, where you can seemingly play as a huge chunk ...

You'll likely go to war with Los Muertos, a brute mob of Central Americans that specialize in stealing cars and selling drugs. And you'll attempt to quell the Volk uprising, led by Eastern European immigrants trained in explosives. So when you finally enter the ...

360 Feature | Crackdown
The developers of Crackdown, a free-roaming, car-throwing, super-powered future-cop simulator in the vein of Grand Theft Auto, seem unusually keen on bucking videogame tradition in every way possible. Their character designs are no exception; rather that going with a typical good-looking hero, they've unveiled a diverse cast of eight beefy misfits from an unusual range of ethnic backgrounds. Their designers have taken pains to give these superheroes as much weird, unconventional personality ...
