<div style="text-align: left;">Lots of the celebrities at last night's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/battlefield-bad-company-2"><em>Battlefield: Bad Company 2</em></a> celebrity benefit tournament didn't know much about gaming, but Greg Grunberg is the exception. Even if he can't dive deep into the differences between next-gen shooters, he at least knows the audience, having appeared on <em>Lost</em> and <em>Alias</em> and controlled minds as Matt Parkman on <em>Heroes</em>. He was at the benefit in West Hollywood promoting <a href="http://www.epilepsyfoundation.org/">the Epilepsy Foundation</a> (his son deals with epileptic seizures, and Grunberg has done <a href="http://www.talkaboutit.org/">some advocacy work</a> on his own as well), and right before he sat down to play <em>BFBC2</em> alongside Chad Ochocinco and Marshall Faulk, he sat down to chat with us.<br />
<br />
Read on to hear about what Grunny is doing for <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/halo-reach"><em>Halo: Reach</em></a>, his favorite iPhone games and why he's so sure there should be one more full season of <em>Heroes</em>.</div><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/02/19/interview-greg-grunberg-at-the-battlefield-bad-company-2-celeb/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Interview: Greg Grunberg at the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 celebrity challenge</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/02/19/interview-greg-grunberg-at-the-battlefield-bad-company-2-celeb/">Interview: Greg Grunberg at the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 celebrity challenge</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 19 Feb 2010 18:00:00 EST.

<div style="text-align: left;">As reported <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/02/18/semi-stars-fight-it-out-in-battlefield-bad-company-2-charity-ev/">on these very pages yesterday</a>, EA and DICE got a <a href="http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/permalink/?ndmViewId=news_view&amp;newsId=20100218005412&amp;newsLang=en">group of semi-celebrities together</a> last night to celebrate the impending arrival of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/battlefield-bad-company-2"><em>Battlefield: Bad Company 2</em></a> with a charity tournament, pitting NFL stars and <em>90210</em> actors against each other in a bragging rights team match. The celebs also selected their own team names for an upcoming Major League Gaming tournament, and the winning team in that match (which you can predict right now <a href="http://www.gamestopbracketchallenge.com/">on GameStop's website</a>) will end up giving $25,000 to the winning celebrity's charity of choice.<br />
<br />
The event kicked off with a red carpet event, and Matt Lanter and Tristan Wilds of the new <em>90210</em> joined gossip blogger Perez Hilton to talk about crushes on their costars and how awesome <em>Bad Company 2</em> was. Meanwhile, we wondered, where's the actual game?</div>

We're a little nervous about a new demo for <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Condemned-2/">Condemned 2</a></em> that was released on Xbox Live this morning. It's not that it's not worth your time (it is) or your money (it's free). We're just concerned that you'll get the wrong idea about <em>Condemned 2 </em>from the provided sample. <br /><br />If it's the first level of the game, <em>believe us</em> when we say it gets way better. The enemies get smarter, the environments more varied, the weapons get cooler the deeper you get into the game, so don't go getting turned off by the demo slice. We should warn you though that the new Ethan Thomas voice guy doesn't get any less awful. We pine for you, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0342399/">Greg Grunberg</a>. We <em>pine</em>.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/condemned-2-bloodshot-xbox-360-ps3-pc/">Condemned 2: Bloodshot (Xbox 360, PS3)</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/condemned-2-bloodshot-xbox-360-ps3-pc/#601266"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/01/condemned2-mp-1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/condemned-2-bloodshot-xbox-360-ps3-pc/#601265"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/01/condemned2-mp-5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/condemned-2-bloodshot-xbox-360-ps3-pc/#601264"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/01/condemned2-mp-2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/condemned-2-bloodshot-xbox-360-ps3-pc/#601263"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/01/condemned2-mp-9_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/condemned-2-bloodshot-xbox-360-ps3-pc/#601262"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/01/condemned2-mp-3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/18/condemned-2-demo-hits-xbox-live/">Condemned 2 demo hits Xbox Live</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 18 Apr 2008 21:00:00 EST.
