CONDEMNED REVIEW

Since having a weekend day off is so rare for me, and most of the day just so happened to comprise of xbox playing. Today's game marathon was Condemned, a horror video game full of jump scares and zombies, per usual. Since I've been playing the game all day, I've formed opinions and voiced them out loud (good an bad) well here they are...

1. I hate how unrealistic is can be when it comes to opening doors with certain tools. Like it will ask for the crowbar when the fire axe I already have in my hand would work just fine if not better.
2. The tazer takes way too long to reload when there is like a zombie mob coming to whack you to death and then eat your brains out.
3. You can only jump, crouch, open doors, etc. when prompted.
4. I like the choice of melee weapons and that they have different statistics (I think that is like a given though).
5. Health is available at good intervals through out the game.
6. The story is really good. Basically you're a detective trying to follow the path of "serial killer x" and you use tools to collect data to get closer to the killer.

Overall it is a really fun game, good story and a good mix between scary and fun. Once I finish this game I am looking forward to Condemned 2. I've heard it's scarier. Lastly, I would suggest this game to anyone who enjoys scary movies.
