10 Beloved Video Games That Deserve A Modern Reboot

5. Condemned

Launch titles rarely set the world on fire, but Condemned in one of those rare exceptions. It launched alongside the Xbox 360 in 2005 before shocking and surprising early adopters of the console by actually being good (and pretty scary, too). Its stunning visuals, atmospheric sound design as well as its visceral, unique take on first-person melee combat made it look like a shining beacon of hope in a sea of bland, unoriginal turds. A sequel was released in 2008 and essentially turned everything that was great about the first game up to 11 while throwing a silly story and a somewhat redundant multiplayer mode into the mix as well. It was a decent enough game, but it wasn't a massive commercial hit and sunk all plans for a sequel. The popularity of games such as Slender, Amnesia and Alien: Isolation prove that the horror genre is massively popular in gaming right now. Condemned 3 could be a huge hit if it focussed on creating a desperate fight for survival, and it'd be a smart choice to make the gruesome melee combat the star of the game. Using the power of the new consoles, Condemned's infamous first-person finishing moves could be so brutal they actually make you feel a bit guilty. Combine fancy new graphics with a modern, intuitive control scheme similar something like Dead Island and you're onto a winner. With smart game design Condemned 3 could be a massively immersive, gripping and tense horror title that stands out from the crowd by actually allowing you to fight back instead of hiding in a corner and wetting your pants like most other horrors.
