Problem with Condemned: Criminal Origins

[Craigs]

Yesterday, I bought the game "Condemned: Criminal Origins" and to my surprise, it didn't run on my computer. Now, let me explain why this is such a surprise. My computer is brand new and custom, has the latest graphics card, and a shit load of memory. However, this is not the thing that surprised me. A week ago, I bought The Elder Scrolls of Oblivion, and it ran fine on my computer. When Criminal Origins messed up, I uninstalled Oblivion and tried again.
It still didn't work.

How can Criminal Origins, a game not nearly as detailed, long, etc. be unable to run on my new computer, when Oblivion can run just fine?

How do you mean it doesn't work? The age of your computer doesn't affect anything if there's a bug with the game itself.

Also, my friend bought both Condemned and Oblivion and they both run fine.

yeah, that sounds kinda fishy. check your drivers.

A bit more information would be awfully useful.
