Condemned 2 hands-on: Watch digital hobos get pummeled on tonight's X-Play

Back at E3 2006, I had a chance to sit down with Condemned 2: Bloodshot's producer, Conatantine Hantzopoulos, who showed me an early demo of the game. The focus was mostly on the game's enhanced forensics mode, the expanded and impressive combat system. Along with this, Hantzopoulos also demoed what he called "Hobo Fight Club."

In this sneak peek at tonight's X-Play hands-on of Condemned 2, Hantzopoulos goes into detail about this new mode, which is now been renamed "Bloodshot Fight Club." As not to upset the strong hobo gaming community, I'm sure. The object remains the same -- it's you versus a collection of the game's dirty, bloodthirsty hobos. Thrown in a room, you're left to not only defend yourself, but to bloody the crap out of as many opponents as possible. As you can see from the demo, the combat system has been markedly improved from the first game, with context sensitive actions, and nifty environmental brutality.

Tonight's X-Play will feature even more footage when the show airs on G4 at 8pm ET/PT. Also to make you insanely jealous, Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb will also go head-to-head in Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii, further perpetuating the completely unwarranted and immature disdain some of your guys seem to have for the hosts.
