PC Xbox 360 PS3

We've been at a private presentation of Condemned where we've been able to get a lot of footage of Condemned, a game that's now in my most awaited titles list. This first video is from the second level, and showcases some investigation scenes as well as some bumfights. The image quality is not as good as we wanted, but for some reason my camcorder refused to synchronize with the plasma TV.

Looks good cause it's not a generic FPS plus it looks liek a fun CSI FPS game, which has never really been done before. The story seems great with great visuals to back it up.

The fun only comes when you're actually playing it, most games never look fun from the sidelines.

I will pick this game up on whatever day it releases.

How could I forget the most important part of my text?

Thank You BlimBlim!!!! :)

I'm really interested in this game, because: 1) almost all previews have been very positive with it calling it sleeper hit 2) The CSI twist could prove interesting 3) Graphics look awesome, and the use of lighting could make this truly scaring 4) Story and mood look promising 5) A survival horror without zombies/monsters/ghosts etc!

I suggest that anyone interested visit, I think, condemnedgame.com since it has quite good story movies to get you up to date on the story.

Off-topic, really, xboxyde, you're absolutely awesome, credit to those who are due, keep with the good work

yeah but it was giving too much away, I stopped watching pretty early, hehe.

I'll just have to wait until I play it.

Wow, I'm really liking the style of this game, can't wait to try it out.

I hope they release F.E.A.R on Xbox 360, since I can't play it on PC :S

Thanks BlimBlim!

I doubt F.E.A.R will ever come out on the xbox. It's quite a class game but they could have made it alot more scary

This game looks nice also, i doubt i'll be able to get it since ive already got aload of games to buy on release although ive heard the A.I in it's very good, from the looks of it i can see it giving some good gameplay moments

thanks blim, keep up the good work

Best Condemned video I've seen yet - and I'm collecting them (1.1gb thus far). Thank you very much BlimBlim!

Also, am I crazy or was that an XBox 360 development kit right near the end? Damn crazy homeless people! They get all the best stuff!

I'm really looking forward to this game! I've been a big Monolith fanboy ever since the No One Lives Forever series, and I can't wait to see what they've done with Condemned. This will be the first game I buy, come Nov. 22nd! Thanks BlimBlim!

It looks like a Premium XBox 360 with a black (Condemned?) faceplate, so even the homeless guys know how worthless a Core pack is!

Just think of being stabbed in the back by a 11 year old american kid, jacked up on "soda" while shouting at his mum.

I can't imagine much atmosphere in that.

Game looks ok, thanks Blim.

This game looks like it will be the first game to actually scare me. I actually jumped from a vid i was watching at IGN (don't tell anyone). I can't wait to play it with my 5.1. This adds alot of flavor the genre.
