Sporting a story-driven solo campaign and an immersive snow-covered setting, Capcom’s early Xbox 360 offering, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, stood out in a sea of samey sci-fi fraggers and me-too military shooters. Sadly, its sequel abandoned the very things-rich narrative, icy environments that helped its predecessor rise above the predictable lock-and-load pack. Thankfully, the recently revealed third instalment seems to be getting the series back on track.
