....at night in total darkness with surround cranked up :X I did Chapter 5 last night, and man it's got some nasty scenes. When I went to bed eventually I was half expecting a bunch of mannequins to suddenly appear out of nowhere. Damn. Bitch game.

Lovin' it 8)7

If a game scares you, then it IS brilliant. :P I mean, just a couple of pixels with some sound on it...

That movie is so awesome. And a good re-enactment of what I look like when I'm playing the Condemned demo.

Demo. :(

Buy the fuckin real thing! You don't drink, nor you do drugs or smoke so you have plenty of money to buy games right? :P

I do smoke and I don't have a job so I'm not paying full price. But feel free to donate.

I'm so proud of you Curry, you finally finished Condemned \o/And now for the last 220GP :Y)

I need to find the one firearm I missed, and I think it's the revolver 8)7

I've been using the Rifle, Pump Shotgun and Submachine on level 10 last night, and the .45 when I was redoing level 2, so it can only be the Revolver of the Sawed Off I think, and I'm pretty sure I used the Sawed Off as a melee weapon a few times. And I think getting the firearm award may also close my melee mayhem \o/ Then I only need to do 3 and 5 again for the last silver birds, the golden bird, the televisions and the final reports :9~

Ow and lvl 10 again for the Mercy award, I really couldn't be bother to let him live yesterday ;)

All the birds are well lit actually, you just have to find them. Always make sure you visit every room and every corner, and check things like toilet pots. Gas spectrometer will give a few away, and birds are either dead, flapping or rotting. The dead ones are always in obvious positions. The flapping ones you can hear at some distance, and the rotting ones have a visible bunch of flies around them.

Indeed, and the metal plates are extremely easy with all the eyes surrounding them.

Just finished the demo. Had to turn the sound down, the brightness up and have the sun shine in my room. I really like to bash junkies with a fireaxe but the rest is just too scary to enjoy :(

when I first started playing that game it scared the crap out of me. I almost tossed my controller across the room a few times I was so startled. I wonder if it has something to so with subharmonics in the audio.

Yeah, those sound effects are very well made indeed.
What with the "addicts" shouting at you in the next room, and it being all echoed and muffled. Floor boards creek, it is the scariest game I've played for a very long time, only to be topped by Clock Tower on the PS1 (I was alot younger when I played that, so I was more easily scared)

It's that good huh?! I've seen messiah play the game but I wasn't that drawn to it to be honest... And to be real honest, I didn't like it at all :P
It's like a good horror movie, not my kind of movie I like but every now and then I check one out just for the fun of it. The main reason I don't like movies like that is that when the movie is over, it really is over... 9/10 don't give me anything to remember it by. It's great when you're in the movie, but after that 9/10 are a waste of my time.

I may start Condemned up one time, just to check if I like it more when I'm playing it myself.
