Possibly the worst game I've played in years Shocked Sad

Much like "Condemned: Criminal Origins"..in it's bad controls...empty graphics...clunky and confusing game play...and little to no care for character building and story...well the tasks...I laughed at points...it's unbelievably bad Nooo ......I can normally play a game that has probs (Crysis Laughing ) and put up with alot, as not all games are perfect.
but this was hyped to be a horror adventure game...not one slice to be seen Evil or Very Mad .....A game to avoid at all cost....!

some you win...some you LOSE £29.99 Fart


PS..If anyone wants it for 1/2 price ....be my guest. Laughing

Lucky you didn't get the pre-ordered download copy then... Blink....We had grand promises of pre-downloading the game 24 hours before release and they would send the activation code at midnight.

The download link finally become active at 00.15 on the Friday morning at a whopping speed of.....wait or it....average 150kb/s....yes the game took 15 hours to download, so on Friday night I was ready to install the game.....

..but getting it to install was another matter wtf

we were left Alone in the Dark... Laughing

Yep also looking forward Sad ......loved the other...now very old Alone in the darks...

well the triad and description act says they should do what it says on the box.....so many games these days seem to be half baked failures...take Test Drive Unlimited...A great single player...but no online multiplayer support, even till this day..... (XBOX360 had it working from day one)Shocked ...And Racedriver Grid...well the brown screen seems to be a problem on all three platforms Shocked ...how can they send these game out supposedly finished. Sad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Rolling Eyes

....Well if we could take them to court...it would of happened by now...damn that small print. Evil or Very Mad

Ps..I must download demos more often Rolling Eyes
