Oh Condemned, you sure were scary... in pretty much every way. Games like F.E.A.R. had scary moments with not scary, action based combat. Bioshock could even bring the scares. Condemned, however, never let up. Walking around, looking for clues, fighting; it could all be scary. And then there's Mr. Tibbits... That goddamn Mr. Tibbits.
You see, in Condemned you are a detective trying to solve a string of murders. It's an older game, but I won't give anything away. At one point, you find yourself trying to find an old gym teacher (Mr. Tibbits), at least that's what I remember going on, in a school at night. When you find him, he isn't in all that great of shape... Literally. Like... his face is all cut up and not symmetrical at all or anything. Anyway, as a good investigator, you have to examine the body for evidence. Well first thing's first: Time to take a picture of the face and send it in for identity confirmation...
HOLY EFFING ROBOT ZOMBIE CHRIST FROM THE 5TH DIMENSION!
Scary man is scary. Somehow this moment stands out above all the others in a game full of scary moments. I'll probably use this game a lot more for these Halloween articles, though. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go deal with the trauma this scene has brought up again. All those months of therapy down the toilet.
