i got Condemned: criminal origins a few days ago, and i must say this game is really brutal compared to anything i've ever played. for those of you who don't know or havent played that game, you basically beat the sh!t out of people with objects you find lying around, such as pipes, 2x4's, sledghammers, fire axes, etc. and it feels absolutely insane when you are doing it. if you hit someone in the face you will see them spurt blood and teeth from their mouths, if you hit them a few times they might fall to the ground, knees wobbling, at which point you a given a number of options of how to finish the guy off. you can smash his head with yours, you can kick his head in, and others i can't remember at the moment.

that being said, i would reccomend this game to those of you hardened against usual video game violence, and looking for somthing a little stronger. it's made my the same guys that made fear, with the same engine, just upgraded. great game, but really, really visious.
