I actually just bought the original Condemned yesterday. Damn good game so far.
Edit: On-topic, great review as always.

You should really put these out as podcasts as well (if possible) I find them absolutely hilarious and I can watch them a thousand times over, but it would be nice to have them on an iPod! (or whatnot)
Made me snort and cast my mind back to the brix-shittery of Condemned. Oddly enough, I concurr with Yahtzee's opinion that many games tent to bail out with the 'Freaky Cult Did It' bullcrap which smacks of developers hitting a brick wall and instead of trying to be all enigmatic, instead bulldozing all previous success in a wave of obviousness and cliche'.
gd review and totally agree. i never played condemned 1 (shame on me) but i knew the basic story. i was really enjoying condemned 1 untill like you say the second half where it gets a bit 'super powerish' and theres assualt rifles everywhere. it became more of a mainstream action game at this stage rather than in the first half where u were constantly kept on edge by great level design, combat, atmosphere etc.
That bit about 'like the serial murder right behind you, don't turn around!' actually made me look over my shoulder ¬_¬
So from what I can get from both Condemned games is that the first had some good things going for it as well as some mishaps whereas the second one fixes some of those mishaps but creates some new ones... and it all boils done to whether or not you want to get the backstory by playing the first one first.
I'll probably check these out sometime.
Oh, and I'll gladly risk being hurled out of a plane and landing anus first on top of Winchester Cathedral in order to tell you, Yahtzee, that you MUST review Boom Blox for the Wii once it's released (May 6th-ish or so, and I checked Australia's release calender to confirm that this game will come to you at the same time that it will for your best friends across the ol' pond). I'd say you'd probably have a lot of fun making a review for this one, and we'll enjoy listening to it.

I was really hoping you'd review this game after i bought it and you did so good.
Great work one of your funniest yet
Plus for once i agree with pretty much everything you said first half of the game was great then shit started getting weird followed by a compleatly lame final boss fight. But kicking the shit out of the homeless was fun all the way along oh yeah and i didnt think the gun gameplay took away from the combat. ammo was scares the guns werent the easyest things to use either. I recon they could have improved NPC Ai though those FBI SCU agents couldnt shoot a fish in a barrel

Okay, can we make it an offical law that all game devlopers must watch ZP before starting a game?
They could learn so bloody much by actually listening to reveiwers in general rather than just paying attention to metacritic to see how much everybody thinks their game sucks on a nice, 65-95 point scale.
