Condemned 2 would win because of how series-destroying it is in my mind.
RAAAAAAARGH!!! Juist reading the game's title had me foaming at my mouth. I still think the first game was a fantastic experience, the second one fucked absolutely everything, EVERYTHING up by explaining every fucking thing in the most boring, clichéed, overused and predictable way possible. What happened to subtility in games? Ghaaa... the rage is uncontrollable!!!
EXACTLY! The first game was excellent because the major points weren't explained, you were just caught up in the middle of everything. My interpretation was that everything 'supernatural' that happened was symbolic of Ethan going insane, and that the boss was just a clever way of symbolising human hatred (which is why Ethan had to overpower it). Whether or not that was canon didn't matter, it made sense and I liked it that way. The important thing is that it COULD have been that, because they left it interpretive.
But the crap they came up with to explain everything...oh God, what were they thinking!? The gameplay improved, but they ruined a good thing by trying to make the story obvious and devoid of mystery and interpretation. It's like if Twilight was the sequel to Pan's Labyrinth.
I really, really hope that game gets a remake. Not the first one, that's fine, but unless they retcon the events of the second game, the series is dead. It's not a common move, but it seems needed in this case.

Not sure if ANYONE other than me has played the game...
The game was Sudeki...
I grabbed that game on a whim when it came out, never regretted it. Great game, unfortunately overlooked. I never did beat that last boss though, guess that's probably a good thing.
I'd play it again if it were backwards compatible...
