I got Eternal Darkness for my neglected, dusty GameCube based on the incredible word of mouth surrounding it. Other than the fact I played it with my wife, I found it boring as hell.

What can I say? She's a complete non-gamer, but the survival horror genre piques her old 80's slasher interest.

So, I pick up Condemned: Criminal Origins. I was looking forward to playing with her again, but this time - a good game with next-Jenny graphics.

We've only played one sitting and cruised through 5 fucktarded levels. Maybe I'm getting older; maybe my disbelief is getting harder to suspend; whatever. This plot is so st00pid I just can't bring myself to care. The only thing keeping me moving through these stupidly-designed stupid levels is the fact I am actually gaming with my wife. That's worth it. I guess. I could do without the perpetual need to explain to her that, no, not all the games I play are this fantastically stupid - but I'll take onee gaming session with her over 100 without her.

Well, a couple.

Are we lost? Have we no hope of playing a decent survivoal horror game? I've ditched the Game Cube at my parent's house (my son and I play it when we visit) but we still have both XBoxii (1 and 360). Any reccommendations?
