F.E.A.R. Review - IGN (2005)
Monolith Productions developed a love it or leave it title for the launch of Xbox 360 last year by the name of Condemened: Criminal Origins.

I’ll never forget I got this game around when it came out, which made me about 11. For some reason I was too stupid to realize this was a horror game based on the name and cover.
