I will say it again. Most fucked up game since Silent Hill. And that is a good thing. Overlooked so far I think.

Sadness seems to be taking the Condemned concept of using objects in the environment around you to protect oneself. That is not revolutionary, but I am sure it will expand on what condemned has done. Plus with using that so called controller and all.
However, sometimes you do get a pistol or shotgun in Condemned, but even if you do find one it is realistic in that it only has ONE ammo clip in and how many shots in the clip varies as well. There really is no ammo around so you are forced to use stick, stones, axes, hammers, etc.

It really is an original game with a amazing story and atmosphere. It takes the Chronicles of Riddick/Call of Cthlulu viewpoint (First person) and mixes it with a Silent Hill type atmosphere. It is not scary like Silent Hill, but totally creep/crazy.

Plus it has the concept of FORENSICS. yay yah high tech stuff =p

Comdemned Criminal Origins allows players to experience a heightened level of psychological tension as they use their instincts, forensic tools, and melee combat to track serial killers and bring them to justice. Gamers play as Agent Thomas, an investigator in the FBI's Serial Crimes Unit (SCU), whose pursuit of relentless serial killers leads him through urban environments filled with sociopaths lurking on the periphery of humanity

The periphery of humanity cannot be emphasized enough.

The story gets real complex and you are immersed in the game real quick because of probably the best graphics ever seen in this genre, and as well as sound effects/music. Although SH probably used the latter two more efficiently.

I can't wait to get the sequel to this game, because the story is not wrapped up at all at the end and could lead into such insane things. I heard an expansion may be coming. Also, the forensics could be enhanced to be so much more complex and play a larger role in the game. Looking forward to that.

It is coming out for PC eventually for people without a 360. Developed by Monolith and published by SEEEEEEGGGA.

Good quote

Those that have played F.E.A.R. and Condemned (another title from Monolith) know that F.E.A.R. is reasonably scary, while Condemned might require some gamers to take a break every once in awhile so that they don't have a heart attack.

ps ask Colonel Skills :biggrin:

Jam it back in, in the dark.
