Game Informer - Condemned: Criminal Origins is a creepy game from beginning to end. Between the atmosphere and sounds, the gritty close-quarters combat with deranged enemies, the supernatural storyline, and the possibility that something could be lurking around every dark corner; Condemned has plenty of ways to keep me on edge while trying to solve the game’s various mysteries.
SEGA's Condemned: Criminal Origins arrived as an innovative yet flawed Xbox 360 launch title, but is worth revisiting on modern consoles.
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.
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.

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!
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.
As one of the best methodical, slow-burn horror games of last generation, Condemned: Criminal Origins really deserves a remake.
This is one of the scariest games I played on my 360. I kept it, cause if was a instant classic.
I remember when the first trailers for Xbox 360/PS3 games were coming out, this was the first game that screamed Next-gen to me. It still looks good now
I remember being 17 playing this game and being absolutely terrified of this game.
Really felt like being in a supernatural thriller movie!
One of the most under-rated games of all time IMO.
Talk of the devil! I just mention condemned in zombieU article, and 5 minutes later theres an article about this game. Imho this game is awesome! Couple years ago i finished it on pc and the mannequin section gave me a nightmare >.<
Sure it's not a perfect game (some confusing story plot) but they did good job for gameplay and the atmosphere. I hope sega / someone (amnesia dev?) will pick this series and make a third game ^^
Im not going to type the same thing again http://n4g.com/news/1111665...
The last scary game made, IMO.
