Yeah I've played it, in fact it was the second game I played on the 360. There certainly is some moments in the game which make you jump. How far have you got?

What sort of game is condemmed? Does it make bioshock look mild? (morale wise)

Personally, I think it's much worse than bioshock, (which wasn't really bad from a morale point of view if you follow the story)...

Scared of a computer game? Come on man, get a grip of yourself!

I remember cacking myself the first time I saw the T-Rex in 3d monster maze on the ZX81, my excuse though is that I was 13 at the time though

(I was wearing headphones at the time, so it sounded like someone just whispered in my ear)

Condemend was a pretty good game - not a patch on Bioshock. But the violence was pretty great... "arrrgggh you ****er" before whacking you round the face with a pipe wrench

What wrong with the morals in bioshock? In fact what's wrong with the morals in any game?

The conversion of little girls into harvesters of dead people perhaps?

Possibly, but I don't see that it's any worse than walking around hitting people with crowbars, or blowing people away with guns etc, all of which happens in practically every fps ever written. Mr VoteConservative has already said that Gear of War is one of his favourite games, and there's far more tasteless stuff in that game than in Bioshock imo...

i think we had this discussion in the bioshock thread didn't we
Of course smacking someone round the head is morally (sp?) wrong but i think it's the image of harming young children makes it harsher as for Gears of Bore simply over the top,repetative violence imo.

I think we did

Technically in Bioshock of course you aren't harming children. You are dealing with a mutant form of life which was created from a child by the mad scientists, and in the game you go through and rescue them all

From a moral point of view, I still don't understand why this is any worse than promoting other forms of violence. But everyone is entitled to their opinion...

p.s. Have you seen the details for Condemned 2. Looks to be even spookier, (and gorier) than the first one

Yeah, problem is with the "moral" argument, is that you aren't really smacking anyone round the head with anything.

Therefore , how can it be immoral?

I'm not saying Bioshock is any less moral then other games just that the image of little girls injecting dead people to get stuff out is a bit freaky, no more than any horror movie i suppose, and i've done the 'other' ending as well .

Also in games where you do get to kill things it's a case of them trying to kill you so do morals apply?

I've seen the details to Condemned 2 and ,damn, it looks a lot freakier but perhaps that is good as i'm getting bored of of the wave of next gen games that are rehashes of games from earlier consoles.

I don't think anything has come close to System Shock 1 or 2 for sheer tension, atmosphere and downright creepiness.

2nd game i ever played was condemned. I had the 360 connected via optical cable to a full 5.1 surround system. That makes you jump.
Great game though.
