| Condemned | Sega (Monolith Productions) | 2005 | [b]crazed sentients[/b] — [spoiler=Show spoiler;Hide spoiler]almost all humans you see have been driven insane by some infrasound that has been killing the birds.[/spoiler] [b]achievements[/b] — Unlocks concept art and videos. Granted for completing levels, finding and collecting dead birds and metal plates (the metal plates especially are well hidden) and some special objects, from performing some feats in either firearm or melee combat, and one for playing the game through with only melee weapons.***The game was banned in Germany and all copies confiscated on basis of [url=http://www.iuscomp.org/gla/statutes/StGB.htm#131]StGB §131[/url].***[spoiler=Birds;Hide bird tip]Birds can be found by following either the buzzing of flies or the squawking/flapping of live ones. Usually few birds are found by the help of a cinematic showing them - during conversation or just the camera passing by an angle from which they're visible - or the game allowing you to use the smell-o-detector (or whatever) to locate them.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Metal plates;Hide metal plate tip]Metal plates are surrounded by black scribbles of eyes and the occasional bird, but mostly just eyes.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Special;Hide special item tip]There's also one special item in each(?) level in the form of a TV with VCR nearby. These are usually in some side room or similar which easily go unnoticed and have no clear markers to guide you there (than perhaps the static sound coming from the TV).[/spoiler] Effectively all these challenge your ability to investigate and explore the levels to the fullest taking cues from audio and visual stimuli which the game uses quite brilliantly.***Working title: The Dark | Windows | labelimageminimize |
| Condemned | Sega (Monolith Productions) | 2005 | The Japanese title reads approximately: [i]kondemudo saiko kuraimu[/i] ([i]Condemned Psycho Crime[/i]).***Developed by award-winning Monolith Productions for the next-generation consoles and PC, Condemned allows players to experience an unnatural level of psychological tension as they use their instincts, forensic tools, and melee combat to track serial killers and bring them to justice. Gamers will play as Ethan Thomas, an FBI agent in the Serial Crimes Unit (SCU), whose pursuit of relentless serial killers leads him through detailed urban environments filled with socio-paths who lurk on the periphery of humanity. Presented in a first-person view for maximum visceral effect, this atmospheric thriller is best played with the surround-sound up and the lights off. Given the power of next-generation hardware, Condemned is able to feature photo-realistic backdrops, life-like physics, and highly sophisticated artificial intelligence. Weapons and ammunition are scarce, leaving the player vulnerable to the game's gallery of mentally deranged criminals. Careful detective work and precision reflexes are a player's primary means of survival. Inspired in part by the films of the psychological thriller sub-genre, Condemned maintains an intense, focused pace. Players can never be sure what waits around each corner. Features * Next-generation lighting, mapping, and filtering techniques provide for environments of unprecedented detail and visual quality. * Intelligent enemies respond strategically to your offensive and defensive maneuvers. * High-level physics allow players to manipulate background items, which respond realistically when picked up, kicked, or bumped. * A tightly wound story is backed with strong character development and major plot twists. * Meticulously crafted 5.1 surround-sound will cue players to the location of offscreen enemies.***Released 2005-11-15 in North America and 2005-12-02 in Europe.
