A short review of Condemned: Criminal Origins.
When looking for a horror game, your number one priority should be "is this game going to scare me?". In the case of Condemned, yes. It is. A descent story line motivates you to push on through the scares of this puzzlin... Read Full Review

Despite great atmosphere, sound and visuals, bad controls, bugs and stupid weapon system make this game a lackluster.

It's scary alright; it is absolutely horrific, it's intense and psychologically disturbing.

A very brutal game. You will smash opponents with pipes and 2x4's. A little thriller/mystery but mostly bloody action.
I had read mostly positive reviews of Condemned a couple of years ago and had never heard of it before until then. I found it interesting that it had been banned in Germany due to its inhuman acts of violence. Along wi... Read Full Review

This game is an absolute snore-fest!
I've played some pretty scary games and I could call myself a horror fan for gaming (Silent Hill 2 being the scariest). But "Condemned: Criminal Origins" is not scary, and it will have you fighting to stay awake just to ... Read Full Review
