In the News (Sun 20 Dec 09)

  
  Preview - Condemned // Xbox 360 /// Eurogamer
Condemned is a bloody brilliant place to start, too, because it takes advantage of its newfound power in an interesting way.
Targeted at "next-generation consoles" (told ya) and PC, it's basically going to be out on Xbox 2 later this year from what I can fathom, and it aims to take full advantage of the fact that it can afford to look and feel enormously detailed every step of the way.
You're in pursuit of just the one target, but each area will also be teeming with that location's "condemned", unfortunate characters who range from indignant squatters to horrendously disfigured shut-ins who strongly object to your choice of pathway.

 Condemned: Criminal Origins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Condemned: Criminal Origins is a video game developed by Monolith Productions and published by Sega for the Xbox 360.
In Condemned: Criminal Origins, players take the role of Ethan Thomas, an FBI forensic investigator who becomes trapped in the condemned sections of an unnamed American city while hunting a deadly serial killer.
Condemned directly involves the player in crime scene investigations, offering the ability to, at the press of a context-sensitive button, call upon a suite of forensic tools to find and record evidence.

 Condemnation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In property law, condemnation is identical to eminent domain.

 SEP: Condemnation of 1277
Tempier's condemnation has gained great symbolic meaning in the minds of modern intellectual historians, and possibly for this reason, there is still considerable disagreement about what motivated Tempier to promulgate his prohibition, what exactly was condemned, and who the targets were.
Tempier's condemnation is only one of the approximately sixteen lists of censured theses that were issued at the University of Paris during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
Tempier's condemnation has often been depicted as the most dramatic and significant doctrinal censure in the history of the University of Paris, and a landmark in the history of medieval philosophy and theology.

However, unfortunately for Condemned, "stimulating" would have been a great way to describe the execution of the storyline, but alas, "incoherent" is the far better word of choice.
The graphics in Condemned are not spectacular per se - some textures don't look terribly high resolution and character models are about on par with the norm in PC gaming these days - but the immersive value of the environments are off the chart.
With that said, Condemned is probably best enjoyed in short stints of gameplay at a time, even if it is an odd mix of stimulating storyline, boring investigations and almost completely irrelevant mindless combat.

Condemned delivers a freakishly horrifying experience that shouldn’t be missed.
Condemned is a first person horror shooter set in an urban city.

Condemned’s conclusion simply leaves too many questions unanswered, too many loose ends untied, and too many plot holes unfilled.
Instead of simply pulling a trigger, Condemned makes you work by challenging you to fight the game’s enemies with whatever you can find in the environment around you.
I don’t mean to diminish the forensic ration of Condemned but don’t expect to be fiddling with test tubes to figure out the killers DNA- it won’t ever go that deep.

 AtomicGamer - Condemned: Criminal Origins Review
The guns in Condemned are really fairly weak, but you can of course kill multiple people at range quickly - the problem is that you can basically carry only a single weapon at any one time, and you've rarely got more than four or five rounds at your disposal.
The story in Condemned is pretty damned good up until near the end when the developers seem to have, at least in my opinion, gone just a little overboard.
Condemned is a very solid game with great horror elements, great sounds and voice work, and plenty of in-your-face action.

 Condemned Review for PC - Pro-G
Condemned has already freaked out Xbox 360 owners, but PC gamers aren't safe any longer.
