Posted November 29, 2005 And on the other end of the spectrum.... 2005's TOP 10 ULTRA-VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES - Resident Evil 4 – Player is a Special Forces agent sent to recover the President's kidnapped daughter. During the first minutes of play, it's possible to find the corpse of a woman pinned up on a wall — by a pitchfork through her face. - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – Player is a young man working with gangs to gain respect. His mission includes murder, theft, and destruction on every imaginable level. Player recovers his health by visiting prostitutes then recovers funds by beating them to death and taking their money. Player can wreak as much havoc as he likes for no reason without progressing through the game's storyline. - God of War – Player becomes a ruthless warrior, seeking revenge against the gods who tricked him into murdering his own family. Prisoners are burned alive and player can use “finishing moves†to kill opponents – like tearing a victim in half. - Narc – Player can choose between two narcotics agents attempting to take a dangerous drug off the streets and shut down the KRAK cartel while being subject to temptations including drugs and money. To enhance abilities, player takes drugs including pot, Quaaludes, ecstasy, LSD and “Liquid Soul†– which provides the ability to kick enemies' heads off. - Killer 7 - Player takes control of seven assassins who must combine skills to defeat a band of suicidal, monstrous terrorists. The game eventually escalates into a global conflict between the U.S. and Japan. Player collects the blood of fallen victims to heal himself and must slit own wrists to spray blood to find hidden passages. - The Warriors – Based on a 70's action flick that set new standards for “artistic violence,†a street gang battles its way across NYC in an attempt to reach its home turf. Player issues several commands to his gang, including "mayhem," which causes the gang to smash everything in sight. - 50 Cent: Bulletproof – Game is loosely based on the gangster lifestyle of rapper Curtis “50 Cent†Jackson. Player engages in gangster shootouts and loots the bodies of victims to buy new 50 Cent recordings and music videos. - Crime Life: Gang Wars – Player is the leader of a ruthless street gang, spending time fighting, recruiting new gangsters, fighting, looting, and of course, more fighting. Player can roam the streets and fight or kill anyone in sight for no apparent reason. - Condemned: Criminal Origins - Player is an FBI serial killer hunter in one of the first titles for the Xbox 360. Game emphasizes the use of melee weapons over firearms, allowing players to use virtually any part of their environment as a weapon. The next generation graphics provide a new level of detail to various injuries, especially “finishing moves. - True Crime: New York City - Player is a NYC cop looking for information regarding the mysterious death of a friend. Player can plant evidence on civilians and shake them down to earn extra money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2005 nice find and i absolutely agree cept that Link should be first... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2005 Guybrush Threepwood isn't anywhere on it, this list fails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2005 personally id plant masterchief a bit higher. afterall, where else can you smash an aliens face in with a rifle butt with such reckless abandon? EDIT: a point well made Mike. where the hells bells in guybrush? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2005 very true, good find i agree every bit of but i think Kirby should have been in it IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2005 Can't argue with Mario being the winner. Nor with Link coming in second. Good list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2005 Great list and good humourous comments for each. Don't think Master Chief deserved a spot though, perhaps the aforementioned Guybrush Threepwood instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2005 how the hell is master cheif on the list, come on, there's ay better characters than him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2005 Guybrush Threepwood isn't anywhere on it, this list fails. I concur. Master Chief can blow my imperial wang. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2005 Can't really argue with the list, they are all great. Wasn;t too surprised about Mario bieng in first and Link in second. Would have thought Lara Croft would have been in the top 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2005 for once i agree with a top 5 or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2005 Wheres Harman Smith on this list?? Woah, lets get this right, if any of the Smiths are going on the list (although all of them should be) it would be Dan. Why take this great example: The Hotel at the end, seeing all the flashbacks of Emir Parkreiner slowly assisnating all of the Smiths. When we get to Dan he's sitting calmly in a chair, mouthing of to a guy whose got a gun pointed at his head. Smooth. Sure he dies, but we'll forget that. You know i'm right. Otherwise great list. Elvis from Perfect Dark should be there aswell, absoloute legend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2005 Master Chief is pretty much the most generic videogame character of all time. Aside from that, and maybe Lara Croft, I suppose I can't really fault the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
