Weather they have you hunting down the city’s most dangerous serial killers or being stalked through hallways by a demonic little girl, Monolith knows how to pile on the scares just as good as any Silent Hill or Resident Evil title.. Bloodshot is the sequel to one of the Xbox 360’s earliest games, and it improves greatly upon its predecessor in almost every way. You once again step into the shoes of investigator Ethan Thomas. However, due to the events of the last game, you’re a mere shell of your former shelf. Having left the SCU, you drown your sorrows in the bottle until your former employers notify you of a mysterious call from Ethan Van Horn, a friend of yours who has gone missing. Soon, you once again get pulled back into a world of evil and mayhem, as it seems that Serial Killer X, who met his end at the end of the first game, has seemingly returned and has gone back to his old ways. Along the way, you’ll come to terms with your personal demons, your origin, learn the true nature of the mania that has gripped the streets, and get up close and personal to the cult that has hinted at in the last game.
