You are on an investigation looking for a serial killer known as The Match Maker, who kills people and then arranges their corpse with a department store mannequin. During your search, you come across another serial killer who seems to be very interested in Thomas and his cases. It is up to you to determine who the true serial killer is, and who is behind it.
Throughout the game, you will use a variety of weapons to attack your enemies. Focusing on melee, you can grab items directly from the environment, such as signs, pipes, 2x4's, concrete, rails, planks of wood, even desktops and desk drawers. There is also a supply of firearms, such as the standard pistol and shotgun.
Your hunt will take you across several different areas, from an abandoned office building to a subway station to an elementary school to an apple farm on the outskirts of town, battling all kinds of deranged people along the way.
While investigating, you will be able to use several different types of forensic tools to find clues and help further the story. Use the UV light to find traces of blood, get a blood sample using the sample guy, use your laser light to find evidence that may be hidden. You also have a scanner to scan certain items, and a digital camera for any photographs which need to be taken.
Condemned utilizes the achievement system, and there are fifty achievements for you to get, from completing the game using only melee weapons to finding every piece of evidence. ... (more)(less)

"Arkane Studios
First off, if you haven’t played Dishonored, you should really get on that already, because once you do you won’t even need to read this to know why Arkane would make an intensely good Condemned game.
In case you didn’t know this already, Arkane already has some experience in the horror genre, as they were the studio behind the cancelled Half-Life 2: Episode 4, better known as Return to Ravenholm.
When I imagine what RtR could’ve played out like, the images that come t"

Oh yeah, and there's a serial killer who's toying with you along the way. I'm generally not a fan of when games try to shoe-horn melee combat into a first-person perspective game. It always seems to feel clunky and poorly implemented. In this particular case, it works. Every fight is a desperate struggle.” read more

"CONDEMNED: CRIMINAL ORIGINS (Xbox 360, PC)
As usual you're stuck in the dark with madmen trying to kill you, but what makes CONDEMNED unique is that you're constantly looking for weapons. You'll find guns but they'll only have a bullet or two left in them and ammo is almost nowhere, so you're usually dependant on whatever melee weapons you can pry off the environment.
