On a corporate blog posting, Sega has released the full list of Xbox 360 Achievements for upcoming horror gore-fest Condemned 2: Bloodshot. There's a total of 1000 achievement points available.

Achievements include "The Plumber" (25 points), which involves taking out 50 enemies with a pipe, and "Punch Drunk" (10 points) for killing 10 players with fists only in the multiplayer mode.

In Condemned 2: Bloodshot, players will assume the identity of Ethan Thomas, the former Serial Crimes Unit investigator, who's been called back to duty to track down his missing partner. As Ethan, players will engage in visceral combat using a variety of firearms, blunt instruments and an all-new fighting system complete with defensive and offensive combo chains.

360 FIRST IMPRESSIONS by Dan Cheer 4 Mar 2008, 1:45 pm

Those of you who played the original Condemned: Criminal Origins from a couple of years back will have no doubt been following the production of the sequel with a sense of anticipation, whist carefully stockpiling your rage in case any trifling detail caused it to be watered down in any way. Well, fear not, we've seen an advanced copy of the game in action, and it's every bit as violent as the first, if not more so.

Once again, you assume the role of Ethan Thomas, an SCU agent trawling the condemned buildings in "Metro City" on the hunt for a serial killer, whilst dodging the effects of a mysterious mind-altering phenomenon that seeks to turn vagrants into psychotic killers. As in the first, this sequel plays scant appreciation to firearms - yes, they exist, and it's not a problem getting them - ammunition however is another story.

Due to this embargo on the basic necessities of any shooter, you're encouraged to use the environment to your advantage. For example, you may not have been aware, but a large length of solid timber with several rusty nails affixed makes an excellent face-shredder, and once you've beaten a hyped-up junkie to within an inch of his life, you can dispatch him by smashing his head through a television set.
