Just had a slightly wierd occurence.

Been playing Condemned as of late (and taking it slowly :o) as I've been meaning to play it for a while :)

Finished off Barts Department Store earlier this evening and stopped to do some other stuff. Resumed the game after dinner (and the Rockets going 22 for 0 by beating the Lakers :D) and just played thruogh to the end of the Library.

Was looking at achievements when I dropped back to the game and choose resume game. Wham! Back to the department store - something funny there.

Had a quick look at the save list and sure enough Barts Department Store sits atop the list with todays date. Scan down through the list and I found my save for the High School dated 22/11/2005.

Console was never turned off all afternoon yet it still managed to skip back in time almost 2.5 years!

Freaky deaky :(

Anyone seen that happen before (or is it merely a side effect of playing Condemned?)
 
I was wondering that - think it was the US Launch iirc?

Silly things only 6 months old as well - an early Elite after my Premium RROD'd

Oh well see what happens when I turn it on tomorrow for some late night scares :D
 
Awe man, I've heard about this.

It's a curse in the game. 22/11/2005 is the date that the lead developer of Condemned was murdered and he haunts the game stalking for victims who have this gamesave.

Sucks to be you :(
 
If you're not online and the Xbox360 has been unplugged, then the date reverts back to 22/11/2005. Which is why, when you come online on some games you get sent back to the main menu. It's possible something similar happened on Condemned?
 
You CAN set the date when theres no live connection and as long as it is connected to power, it will retain it.
