Horror enthusiast Mark Butler sings the praises of much overlooked psycho-thriller Condemned: Criminal Origins, a genuinely terrifying creation that was a launch title for the Xbox 360.

got this in 2005 for Xmas, good times...one of the best horror games ever

Solidus187-SCMilk5332d ago

The original Condemned, criminal origins, was one of the first games I played on the 360.

I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I thought it was really unique how you mostly used melee weapons, and I really enjoyed beating those freaks with mele weapons and sometime blasting them with a shotgun or something.

If you havent played this game you should try the demo of the original one, I liked it alot.

MilkMan5333d ago

Awesome game. Part 2 was even better. Loved every minute of it.

AAWELLS095333d ago

Yeah totally agree i truly loved these games and been hoping for another. they have such great atmosphere. you really feel like your in those places they put you in.

gillri5333d ago (Edited 5333d ago )

Condemned 2 wasnt better, they started to shove the supernatural angle in your face instead of just hinting at it

and the hokey conspiracy plot and exploding heads was a bit lame, the MP worked though but the SP wasnt as good as Condemned 1

gillri5333d ago

wow people actually think the 2nd is better than the first?

worse story and not as scary!?

jony_dols5333d ago

I wouldn't exactly call it overlooked. I remember a lot of people talked about it after the 360 launched. But that was nearly 6 years ago, so what do you expect.

It obviously sold enough on the Xbox to warrant a PC release & later, a multiplatform sequel.

KyRo5333d ago (Edited 5333d ago )

I only played the second one. One of my fave games of this gen. I'd love to see a third game but they seem focused on FEAR which isn't that good IMO.

The part in the burning factory and them babies stalking you made me wanna switch off lol

sickbird5333d ago

loved the first game, wasn't a fan of 2.

I am 99.99% sure they will do nothing with it

RaidenBlack429d ago

With all the renewed -ve PR the nemesis patent info got again this year, WB better persuade Rocksteady to implement it in some or the other in their next single-player game.

vTuro24437d ago

Hope whoever patented that system gets a good kick in the nuts.

Sciurus_vulgaris436d ago

An open world , single player DC super hero game with the nemesis system would have been great. Instead Warner Bros chased live-service and screwed over its developers.

Condemned: Criminal Origins - FPS, But Not as We Know It

SEGA's Condemned: Criminal Origins arrived as an innovative yet flawed Xbox 360 launch title, but is worth revisiting on modern consoles.

Snookies121123d ago

Would actually love to see a remake/reboot of Condemned. So very underappreciated... I was a bit of an Xbox hateboy back during the time this came out. But I did own a 360 for a short time back then. Thankfully this is one of the games I got to check out. Thanks to it being super cheap at a GameStop. At least it got a sequel, but it deserved to be a whole franchise honestly.

XiNatsuDragnel1123d ago

That'll be awesome to see this remade again

Barneyco1122d ago

Loved the first one. The second one wasn't very good.

MadLad1121d ago

I didn't think the second was bad. It just didn't feel like the original, and went really off the rails with the sorting.
It was like playing Condemned while you're really sick, and Condemned was the fever dream that came after you went to sleep.

hiawa231122d ago

I am still playing Condemned 1 & 2. Both games deserve a remake or remaster. I am still baffled why 2 is not on the back compat list.

Condemned: Criminal Origins - Revisiting A Forgotten Horror Classic

FreeckyCake writes: " Condemned: Criminal Origins is one of those unrivaled titles that will forever remain in my memory no matter how old it gets. We can only hope that we will at least get a port to the Condemned 2: Bloodshot game on PC and current-gen consoles, or why not a sequel someday soon? One can only dream."

Condemned was amazing! Had a really cool multi-player as well, such a shame it we never got another one after 2. Brings back some great memories on the 360. Condemned was definitely one of the first games I picked up for the 360. Loved the atmosphere and the amount of melee items you could utilize. Would really love if Microsoft could somehow reboot this franchise!

Skate-AK1844d ago

I never got to play the MP for 2 but my brother always mentions about how good it was.

illty1844d ago

one of the best horror games ever in my book

MadLad1844d ago

It's a shame we never got a third game. The original was better than the second, in my opinion, but that's far from saying the second was bad.

Jolska4201844d ago

Ive never been more scared of a game than the doctor who esque weeping angels mannequins in the sequel

Limitedtimestruggle1844d ago

Loved this on the Xbox 360, simply an amazing game!

Yui_Suzumiya1844d ago

Still waiting on a damn sequel because of the cliffhanger ending of 2.
