Amnesia killed the horror genre

[benvereen]

Condemned: Criminal Origins was 2005. I haven't played Condemned 2 yet, but the first one had a lot of moments of powerlessness. You were often at best on par with the strength of the madmen surrounding you.

The mod Korsakovia was released in 2009. I have as much trouble playing it as Amnesia. It really gets to me.

Yes! The first Condemned was a great game with a lot of genuinely scary moments and environments. I didn't play the second one. They went in a more "cool" direction with the main character and I didn't really care for the new "edginess" they were trying to achieve. I would still recommend the first one to anyone who likes scary games.
