    Now that this game has a good price, I wanna play it, but I dunno if I should go for the PC or 360 version. Just wanted to see if anyones played both versions or anything. Both are about the same price.

    I've played the 360 version, but personally I wasn't very impressed. Everything about it seemed kinda dull; the enviroments, the story line, the puzzles. I got bored of it really fast. But then again, I don't care much for most modern FPS's.

    If you like achievements or your PC isn't great grab the 360 version, though either version will do what it does and do it well..that's a shame la-li-lu-le-lo, the game just gets better and better as it goes.

    If you didn't play the shopping mall level, then you should go back and play it until you beat that level..if you still hate it then fair enough.

    It's a fantastic game. I've owned it since around the time the 360 launched and in terms of atmosphere/suspense, you can't go wrong. Particularly if you have a good HDTV and audio setup. The first few levels are kind of underwhelming, but get to the Apple Orchard and the things really do pick up.

    Achievements galore too.

    I guess I'll go for 360 version then...I do have a good PC with a 7900GS though. If the game controls good on 360 then I'll just go for it then. Achievements are always cool. I still can't find the differences between both versions though. Thank yas!

    Condemned is one of those games that you would pick up if on the 360 if you had one, and pick up on the PC if your PC is decent enough and not have a 360. Pick up the 360 version: Thought the controls were much better, and the HD support helps.

    Hm... perhaps I'll give it another try. I remember reading about it before it was released and thinking that it sounded very innovative, but then I was dissappointed when I actually played it. Do you know if the PC version looks any better than the 360 version?

    I just figured out there's a demo of the PC one. I'm gunna sometime try both demos for each platform out and then decide, but right now i'm leering to 360.

    Condemned is a very under rated game. Now I'm not saying its a perfect 10 but I'd say its like a 7/10 I have played through the game 3 times now for me and 2 friends.

    As you've probably seen la-li-lu-le-lo, most people here hold it in highish regard, definately go for it..I don't believe the PC version looks much better (though chances are if you have a great monitor and have everything on high it *might*) my card isn't great enough to test it and my monitor couldn't hold up much against a HD TV.

    It is kind of dissapointing but it has some of the best uses of ingame FirstPerson cutscenes (you haven't gamed until you've been pushed down a flight of stairs..in game of course) plus it's one of the scariest games released in awhile (if you play it properly).

    There's also a demo of the 360 version. At least there was through the Official Xbox Magazine disc. Check Xbox Live's download section...it may be there as well.

    Tried both versions out, 360 one wins because the PC one seems to have some goofy sound bugs, or it's my X-fi being wierd. The PC one was a little sharper but didn't support my widescreen moniter (gave me bars for some reason) and some charectars didn't look as good, so 360 is the one to get I guess. Now I just need to find it for under 20$....ololol
