I have a feeling Condemned will do better than some people think (as in it won't B0mBa!1). It's not typical Sega and has a much better chance of appealing to the Western Xbox crowd. Add to that the positive reviews/previews it's been getting. It'll also benefit from being a launch title.
Calm down you crack heads. Nobody said you have to buy or even consider every single game Sega publishes. Jump on THQ, Ubisoft, EA and others for publishing licensed trash while you're at it.
Wow, didn't realise this was a sleeper hit as well. They've slready struck gold with Mushiking and now Brain Training. The old and awesome Sega of really dynamic games and IP development really are back and back with a bang!
Sega's releases for 4Q05 aren't lacking at all:
Shining Force Neo (PS2)
Spartan: Total Warrior (PS2/Xbox)
Virtua Tennis: World Tour (PSP)
Condemned: Criminal Origins (Xbox 360)
Shadow the Hedgehog (GCN/PS2/Xbox)
Sonic Rush (NDS)
