Shooting stars

First-person shooters were all about the running and the gunning. But that's changing...

Condemned
They're called first-person shooters for a reason, and yet we've always had a hankering to get up close and personal - nothing says 'stay down' like a rifle butt to the skull. Condemned took things a step further - and closer - by making guns the exception, and melee combat the focus.

In its murderous fights for your life, every blow from an improvised club sends either your opponent's head or your own screen whip cracking with impact in a way you just know is going to leave a mark.

When some of the best shooters can't shake the feeling that you're driving an incredibly manoeuvrable tank around rather than standing on two vulnerable feet, being kicked to the curb in Condemned feels so right.

Condemned is out now for PC and Xbox 360
