Mid-March marks the arrival of two anticipated sequels to two very hard-hitting titles. The 18th marks the arrival of Rainbow Six: Vegas and on the 12th Condemned 2: Bloodshot drops in with already silvering reviews.

Condemned 2: Bloodshot

Condemned 2 continues the tale of a now psychologically damaged and overworked detective who experiences a new fear as the squaters, lowlives, and bums of the gritty backalleys once again become Influenced by a cult’s curse of igniting the hatred in men. So an embittered Detective Thomas must reopen the case files and sip a whiskey before haymaking new ruffians in their ugly jaws. The gameplay is much more brutal as before what with the introduction of hand-to-hand fisticuffs, more painful executions, and an improved investigation system that rewards the player. What is just large is the introduction of multiplayer in the form of four gametypes which includes the vanilla TDM and DM along with Bum Rush and Crime Scene. Though the MP may lose its value over time as Condemned’s true strength is placed in its singleplayer.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2

Vegas is getting second wake up call with Rainbow installment that sure to include and emphasize  stronger Cooperative gameplay and a more rewarding role-playing system. The Persistant Elite Creation system is rebuilt with more depth with ACES, Advanced Combat Enhancement and Specialization. This seamless system evolves based on the player’s specialties between CQB, Assault, and Marksmanship. What is so seamless is that the real-time system goes for all the gametypes- including the campaign. Though one of the few reported cons is the exclusion of the four-man CO-OP for a more intense two man with two other NPCs.

Boths games are looking to sound promising for the survival-horror and modern tactical alike.
