Remember that far-off year of 2005? Everyone was talking about Tom Cruise jumping on couches, that third Star Wars volcano movie, and gamers were beginning to collect plastic instruments with the release of the first Guitar Hero game. But for gamers, 2005 also marked the arrival of the Xbox 360 - and with it, SEGA’s survival horror game: Condemned: Criminal Origins!
It’s the spooky season, so let’s discuss a spooky game! Did the first Condemned game age well? Did we enjoy our time with it? Will mannequins haunt our dreams forever? Join us to find out!
Are you ready for our spookiest Halloweenie episode next time?! Viewer beware; you're in for a stare....ing contest!

Welcome back to the SEGA Spirit Show! Kicking off the 2025 spoopy season, we dive headfirst into Uwe Boll’s infamous 2003 “adaptation” of SEGA’s House of the Dead 🧟 We look at a play-by-play of the film’s most baffling choices and plenty of laughs at the expense of daytime raves, random game footage, and dialogue that makes the original arcade and Saturn games look Oscar-worthy. It’s a cinematic trainwreck - but someone had to watch it. Luckily for you, that someone was us.
Also in this episode, we have our usual hot SEGA Community News, including: A new game from the makers of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Final Fight for the Mega Drive gets 3-player support! Grab Mute Crimson for the Dreamcast for FREE. Plus a new racer coming to the Mega Drive/Genesis that has an awesome demo.
