Do you have the urge to commit unspeakable acts of violence? Then please turn to some of these games instead of your next door neighbor. The items on this list are all games in which you have the ability to injure or disfigure other people or creatures in the most horrific ways possible.
You want to mow over a bunch of innocent civilians with your car? Check. You want to break someone’s jaw off and take a selfie with it? Check. You want to pull someone’s teeth out in a gruesome torture scene? Check. These games have got everything you could possibly imagine. It should be obvious, but this list is definitely not safe for children. You probably don’t want your 6 year old playing these games.
A lot of these games have videos attached to them that demonstrate their violent nature. Don’t watch these if you have a weak stomach or find this content offensive. You have been warned.
10. Duke Nukem
Image
Oh Duke Nukem, a true gem from the 90’s. The game started way back in 1991 on MS-DOS and has come a long way since then. The latest installment in the series is called Duke Nukem Forever and was released just a few years ago in 2011.
Duke is a trigger happy pervert who is horribly dismayed at the fact that an alien invasion is stopping him from getting his “lady fix.” So he picks up his gun and goes on a shooting rampage, and almost single handedly thwarts the alien threat.
If the premise of the game wasn’t stupid enough, the man Duke is an incredibly vulgar and brutal man. You don’t have to use your weapons to dispose off your enemies since Duke is very willing to kick everyone and everything into bloody crumpled heaps.
The worst part about this game, even worse than the fact that you can pay strippers to entertain you and then blow them to pieces, is the fact that you can brutally dispose off your alien enemies, and then defecate on their bodies. Classy Duke, very classy.
9. Carmageddon
Image
Do you want a game without any form of story or purpose except to disrupt the lives of thousands of people? Then Carmageddon is for you. It is a supposed racing game that doesn’t care about racing at all. You don’t win by coming first. You win by mowing over as many civilians as you can during the course of the race. It doesn’t matter if it is an old man with a walker, a lady with a stroller, or a little kid playing around. If it moves, you kill it. Carmageddon Reincarnation was just released a few days ago, so check that out if you’re interested.
8. God of War
Image
While this game was very well received and has one of the most intriguing stories in video games, it is also brutally violent. You take on the role of Kratos as he seeks to bring revenge and justice to the mount of Olympus. Throughout the game you end up brutally killing all the Gods on Olympus as well as several other unfortunate souls like Hercules. At some point Kratos really ought to realize that killing everyone and everything won’t bring his family back.
The acts of violence in this game include the dismembering of human bodies with knives, pulling the head off a person’s body with your bare hands, and stabbing people in the chest with massive swords as blood goes gushing absolutely everywhere. Someone should let the game developers know that there are only about 5 liters of blood in the human body.
7. Mortal Kombat
Image
This is probably one of the most popular games on this list, and it should be apparent to all readers as to why it is on here. In the fighting genre, this game is the king of violence. While other games like Tekken, DoA, or the Soul series all have violent combat in them, Mortal Kombat is the only one that allows you to kill your opponent in the most brutal ways.
In the latest installment: Mortal Kombat X, they added an x-ray feature that shows the bones break and crumple as the characters use their moves on each other. You can literally see the spine breaking as the character gets rammed into the ground. Then when the fight is over you get to slice and dice your opponent up in disgusting gore filled cinematics.
6. Gears of War
Image
Grab a chainsaw and split your enemies in half in realistic looking combat. Blood sprays everywhere and the carnage never stops! At least the game has a well thought out story.
The story takes place well into the future in a post-apocalyptic setting where soldiers called Gears have to defend humanity from the threat of the Locusts. The Locusts are sentient alien like creatures that want nothing more than to tear your little body into pieces.
5. MadWorld
Image
Your city has been taken over by terrorists. A virus has been released that is so lethal that the entire population will die in 24 hours unless they get treatment. The vaccine is in the possession of the terror organization and they will only give it out to those willing to kill. Thus the game show “Deathwatch” was born.
You play an ex-marine that participates in the brutal game show that involves a lot of killing for the pleasure of the viewers. As you excel in the competition you start getting noticed by people in high places, and suddenly you find yourself knee deep in a political plot to quell the violent thirst of mankind.
What really makes this game pop, and I really mean “pop,” is the black and white art style used in the game. Everything is black and white except for the bright red blood that sprays continually from your dismembered enemies. The gore is plenty in this game.
4. Grand Theft Auto
Image
The entire Grand Theft Auto series has been based on the fact that you can go anywhere and do anything you want. Do you want to hire a hooker, take her up to the roof of a tall building, have sex with her, and then toss her off the edge? Well, you can do that. This game does not have to be played in an extreme violent fashion, but that is often what it becomes.
The latest installment GTA V caused quite a stir by including a very detailed torture scene as you take on the role of the torturer. You get to electrocute, water board, and pull the teeth out of a poor soul strapped to a chair. On the other hand though, you do let the guy go once you’ve got all the information extracted… so at least that’s nice.
3. Dead Space
Image
It is difficult to imagine a fate worse than that of Isaac Clarke, the protagonist in the Dead Space series. You are stuck on a space station that has had its entire crew wiped out and reanimated as necromorphs, vile undead alien like creatures that want to eat you. The worst part is that this scenario happens twice! After escaping this very situation in the first Dead Space game, it happens again in the sequel. This is one poor character that can’t catch a break.
While the combat is extremely violent in of itself, where the violence really shines through is if you get killed. Avoid dying at all costs in this game since it will often result in short gruesome cinematics in which you witness Clarke get ripped to shreds by the undead aliens. The horrifying look on his face in some of the scenes make it so much worse!
2. Manhunt
Image
Manhunt is a highly controversial game from the early 2000’s that was developed by Rockstar, the same people who created GTA (can you believe it?) The premise is that Cashe, a man sentenced to die, was given a false lethal injection. He wakes up and becomes hired on as a hitman whose only job is to hunt down gang members and kill them.
The reason this game caused such a stir was because the game grades you on how violently you can kill your enemies. Suffocating them from behind would only give you the minimum points, but if you suffocated them, beat them up, and finally broke their neck then you would get a much higher score.
1. Postal 2
Image
This game has absolutely no plot. In fact, there are in-game protestors walking around with signs that say “Make a game with plot!” or “Stop making ****** games!” So at least the game developers are well aware of what they are doing.
The game takes place over a span of 5 days during which you are given very mundane and simple tasks. For example, on Tuesday you might be asked to get milk and eggs from the grocery store. The purpose of the game though, is to accomplish these simple tasks as brutally and violently as possible.
The graphic content of this game is insane! It was even banned in Australia for excessive abhorrent content. The game contains urination, vomiting, severe homophobia, excessive violence, animal cruelty, and plenty of racism. This game has got it all when it comes to mindless and senseless violence.
This concludes our list of violent killing games. Let us know in the comments below what violent games you have played!
