Damn this game looks good, I'mma gonna download.

Reminds me of DOOM 3 but looks like that new game out on the Xbox 360, what was it called... Can't remember, but I'm downloading this now do to the fact that I love ragdoll physics and I'm sure this has it. It's also neat to throw something or kick something and watch it tumble around with other things.

That looks really really sweet

This game is incredible. The floaty bird/bat/demon thing scared me soooo bad the first time. I almost peed meself   . Although once I leave the office the game crashes and I can go no further. I think that might be the extent of the game so far. But DAMN! This game rocks! Graphics are incredible! The motion blur only furthers this incredibleness.

I think you're thinking of Condemned: Criminal Origins.

And yes, this game is incredible for a freeware title, it's also very entertaining, I might review it once I stop getting killed in Akalabeth.

Yes, that's the one I'm thinking of. And I am getting confused, you know the first room you start in, it has a vent in the ceiling, I went up there and there are a ton of vents, I didn't go in the other vents I decided to go to the second floor first. I went through the door and that's where my game ended, I'll probably try again in a little while, I had enough being scared for a little while...

Looks pretty good, just my cup of tea.

Unfortunately, my PC has a mere 192mbs of ram. No go for me, I'm afraid

[RyGuy]

Even with lowest resolution and no eye candy? I can honestly say that getting some more ram, even if it were for just this, it would be worth it. You can get 512MB on sale at about $40.(US dollars) But good luck with that, and of course not all the great games have great graphics. So you don't miss much, that's why I love this site.

Think it's been mentioned in this forum before or another one like fav games, but anyways really cool game, really high requirements, might check it out at my college when I get the chance if it runs.

It's also on this month's PC Gamer UK coverdisc

[DeathDude]

Yeah I believe it was also on the North American edition as well last month, they ran an article about the game too.

It's awsome, though the game saves too infrequently and you can't save at all..

Merged the two topics.
And this is an excellent game, by the way
