If I could strike down one person with lightning every day. You'd be today.

Look I don't know what all the hype is about. I've played this game (non demo) and I think CONDEMNED is a way better game. It is far creepier and has a better fighting idea then Bioshock. As for the wrench there are more weapons in condemned and you can block wich allows for much better control over your character. Bioshock has little in it that hasn't already been done. Don't get me wrong I still enjoy the game and probably will beat it, but I don't get what all the hype is about. Play condemned and tell me Bioshock is still better.

Played both, and Bioshock is better. Condemned is a great game and worth playing, but being one of the early 360 releases, suffers graphical flaws. It also has no where near the number of weapons when you factor in plasmids, upgrades and multiple ammo types. It's not even close. Bioshock has an intricate plot line that lets each person play out the game in a manner unique from everyone else. The environments and voice acting in Bioshock is light years beyond Condemned. Been done? Yeah, its basically System Shock for the PC, but its totally original for consoles. What did Condemned do that was original? Three things...zip, zilch, zero. Hundreds of industry experts and millions of gamers can't be wrong. Would you kindly reconsider your thesis?

Are you serious. The storyline was much better in condemned. Plus it incorporated a block into the fighting that no other game has done before. With that your just not going to get shot once in a while. If your good you don't get hit much at all. I agree that Bioshock looks better and there are upgrades that keep you going, but as for storyline condemned was far better. Bioshock doesn't even let you know whats going on until later in the game. And it really isn't that much different when you take different routs. So if you rap up the two you get these benefits.

Condemned:
a block with non shooting weapons
better storyline (except ending)
creepier
have to use firing weapons at crucial times

Bioshock:
Looks cleaner
upgrades
more shooting weapons (not hand held)
supernatural abilities

I agree they both have cool aspects but as for a better game I will always go with condemned and everyone I know who has seen them both says the same thing. But you are right. It's a later game so it does look cleaner. Woopty do.
