Condemned: Criminal Origins was one of the Xbox 360′s launch titles back in 2005 and later appeared on the PC in April of the following year. Coming from Monolith Productions, best known for their F.E.A.R. series, Condemned sticks with the dark and demented subject matter which now Monolith is pretty well known for in their games. The player takes the role of S.C.U. (Serial Crimes Unit) investigator Ethan Thomas as he chases a psychotic killer through the violent underbelly of Metro City. The game features a fairly in-depth melee combat system, better than average AI, and an atmosphere that’ll make your skin crawl at times…
