Condemned

Condemned sends you almost immediately into the Dark world of a framed FBI Agent, Accused of murder, you are sent on an investigation that takes you through the slums and derelict buildings of a run down city. You don't have the comfort zone of piles of ammo at every turn, you've got to use Bars, planks, pipes, spades, Axes and the occasional Gun. You will run out of ammo quite quickly but one bullet will kill if you're a good aim. The realism of this game strikes out as one of the first titles on a next gen should, taking full effect of the 360's power. It's Silent Hill meets CSI.

Play this alone with the lights off and the sound up. Definitely worth buying.

Condemned was one of the first Xbox 360 games I bought. It was fun to play, and the story was interesting to say the least. The biggest problem with the game was that it was too dark and the characters all looked like men.

Condemned is a visceral, scary-as-hell thriller by the makers of F.E.A.R., also an FPS. It can be very difficult I found, but the photorealistic graphics and unnerving audio are insane, not as psychologically disturbing as Silent Hill, but it does fight-or-flight time extremely well. Should be in the bargain bins as well by now, it was released on the 360's launch.
