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 wish we would get a new condemned
Holy crap this takes me back. That game was so intense, every fight had such an intense life or death stakes sorta feel to it. Emphasis on melee combat and finding anything you could to fight was so awesome too
Condemned is being talked about quite a bit lately. Maybe there's something in the works already and the seeds are being planted!
Criminal origins is my favorite horror game of all time. F.e.a.r is probably my second.
Man, I don’t payed the first 2 like crazy. I’m hoping one day we’ll get another one.
