| SEGA Ships 'Condemned: Criminal Origins' for the PC SEGA of America, Inc. has announced that its first-person psychological thriller Condemned: Criminal Origins for the PC has shipped to retailers nationwide. After making its debut as a launch title for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Condemned: Criminal Origins was awarded "Best Xbox 360 Action Game of 2005" by IGN.com. Developed by award-winning Monolith Productions, courageous PC gamers can now experience terrifying drama as they use their instincts, forensic tools, and combat skills to track serial killers and bring them to justice. Condemned: Criminal Origins puts players in the shoes of Ethan Thomas, an FBI agent in the Serial Crimes Unit. His pursuit of relentless serial killers leads him through detailed urban environments filled with terrifyingly real sociopaths who lurk on the periphery of humanity. Condemned: Criminal Origins features photorealistic environments and true-to-life sound effects that transport players directly to the scene of the crime. Gruesome weapons including paper-cutter handles, wooden planks, and lead pipes ripped from walls can be fashioned from the environment by clever players. With advanced artificial intelligence, enemies don't just run at the player; they find appropriately powerful weapons and then hide in the shadows, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. Condemned: Criminal Origins has received numerous accolades for its gameplay and audio quality, including the GameSpot.com Best of 2005 award for "Best Sound Effects", the GameSpy.com Editor's Choice Award for "Top 5 Xbox 360 Game of the Year", and the IGN.com The Best of 2005 award for "Best Use of Sound".
