Thank you, I was waiting to see the performance on my PC.

Is it the same demo as on 360?
Don't like it. Thought it was very atmospheric at first, then I started fighting hobos with pipes, and it got old quickly. It's very easy to get lost in the environment with it being so dark and everything looking the same as well.
The flash prequel story on the website was cool and overall it has a nice presentation, but I don't see myself buying it when the combat (which likely makes up 90% of the game) is so dull.

Condemned has some of the best first person melee combat that I've ever seen in a game. If it's too dark, then turn your brightness up or turn your lights off. That's how the game is meant to be played anyway.
I played through the game twice on the Xbox 360 and loved every minute. One other note - the environments are very realistic and I don't ever recall getting lost in them.

Dude, it won't even work on my PC. When I run it I hear music, but all I see is a black screen.

Framerate seems to vary alot.. sometimes 22-24, others over 100.
This is at 1680x1050 and maximum details (minus AA)
Doesn't feel laggy when the framerate drops, though.. which is a plus.

I love EGM
condemned > f.e.a.r.
not that this is anything worth bragging about. F.E.A.R is overrated

Just finished playing both the 360 demo and PC demo. Both at 720p and on a Samsung DLP. It's the same exact demo (first level tutorial) on both platforms, and the 360 demo is very representitive of the full game, as I played it at launch. I'd give a very slight edge visually to the PC version, mostly for slightly better textures. Since I'm running at a relatively low rez (specs below), I was able to turn everything to maximum. I'm sure those with higher rez monitors will have a better time with the PC's graphics. I'm more comfortable with a joypad than a kb/m, but this isn't a game that is twitchy in nature, so it's sort of a wash anyway.
I don't think it looks as good as FEAR, nor is it as fun. Obviously just my opinion.

Performance wise Condemned rapes FEAR. Playing it @ 1024x768 with everything maxed up, FSAA 2x and aniso 8x and the frame-rate only becomes choppy in certain moments, and always with the flashlight on.
I am very pleased, maybe I'll end buying the PC game.

I'd say it's the exact same thing, although the PC game allows higher res and more aniso/FSAA. Then again, you need a pretty powerful PC if you intend to play it at more than 1280x1024.

I'm not really getting into this game, it is sort of boring and don't find it very scary at all. The combat sort of feels like Oblivion redux. Oh well not my cup of tea.
