Condemned: Criminal Origins

Things could be better in this city. The police force has been, shall we say, less than vigilant and now everything has gone down the crapper. The homeless and drug addicted, who previously ruled the slums in a way that mainstream society could ignore, have begun committing mindless acts of violence. Public health officials are baffled by the increasing number of birds that are found dead, and to top it off, the list of at-large serial killers keeps growing. As FBI Agent Ethan Thomas, you have your work cut out for you.

Fighting vagrants is a rough job. They're feisty, lack oral hygiene skills, and don't have much to lose in a fight. You're going to need everything around you to beat them back as you attempt to solve the mystery behind the growing evil in this city. So grab that pipe off of the wall and get ready to bash some skulls in. IGN Guides is here to lead you through one of the scariest games to hit home consoles in a long time.
