5 of the most violent video games

5. Mortal Kombat

The one who started it all. While it may now seem pixelated and dated, it was without a doubt the most violent video game of its time. By generating a large fanbase, a movie, and a host of sequels, most of us have probably played Mortal Kombat in at least one form of another.

Who can forget to bring in a victim with the snapping beak of Scorpions? "Come here!" while following him with a นักเตะสุดโหด. The game used real-life actors and mapped their faces into sprites, creating a rather strange yet realistic effect that made it even more amazing when Sub Zero ripped someone's head off, leaving their spine hanging underneath. Fatality!

4. Carmageddon

Originally released in 1997, this is an old but gold one. It's still a completely fun game and it was a breakthrough in its day with video footage from inside the car and real-world physics.

Think Mad Max on steroids and you'll start to get a glimpse of Carmageddon, set in a post-apocalyptic world where the car rules. The idea is to race against a handful of other modified death cars through various levels, including deserts, industrial areas and populated cities, all to the tune of the album Fear Factories Demanufacture (heck yeah!). However, if you don't feel like running, you can hunt down and destroy your enemies one by one until you are the only survivor. Among all this, not only can you run over pedestrians, but you are actively encouraged to do so, earning overtime and credits for combo bonuses and "artist impressions" (earned by completely destroying a pedestrian).

Carmageddon caused a scandal in the media when it was first released and in most countries a "safe" version was released with zombies, robots, or aliens instead of people. In some countries, the game was completely banned. None of this keeps it from being an absolute classic and the first go-anywhere 3D driving game that spawned 2 successful sequels.

3. Thrill Kill

Originally called S&M for Slaughter and Mutilation, Thrill Kill for PlayStation was never released, it was dropped 2 weeks before it came out. EA said they did not want to "publish such a violent nonsense game" and claimed it was so offensive that they would not sell it to another publisher either. Fortunately for us, former EA employees released it onto the internet, which are still available today.

Incredibly simple, Thrill Kill consisted of a single room where up to 4 opponents fight to the death. The usual health bar is replaced with a kill meter, which grows as you do more damage to your opponent, you can eventually activate Thrill Kills, which were always incredibly brutal, sometimes sexual, moves like dismemberment, mutilation, throat prods or crushing skulls with stilts. Oh yeah. One of Cleetus' lethal finishing moves was to rip off her opponent's head and drink the blood that leaked from her victim's severed neck. The story goes that the 8 characters led devious lives and died in various ways, they went to hell. A modern hell that reflects the real life of today. Marukka, the God of Secrets, has pitted them against each other, promising to be reborn as the only survivor. Each character is fighting for survival and the hope of being born again.

Cleetus, for example, is a peasant cannibal. The only victim who didn't eat escaped except for one leg, which Cleetus carries with him for good luck (and occasionally uses as a weapon).

Dr. Faustus, a skilled surgeon, died of an infection after installing his stainless steel jaws, made with a bear trap.

Oddball was a top FBI agent who hunted down serial killers. He began to admire them and little by little fell into madness. Oddball is extremely smart, cunning, and unapologetic. Pity, sympathy and compassion have no meaning for him. Although his arms are tied in his cozy straitjacket, he has learned to adapt, as any good predator should.

2. Postcard 2

A feature of Postal 2 is the ability to collect cats as an inventory item. When used, the player pushes the barrel of the currently equipped firearm into the cat's anus, like a "silencer". Every time a shot is fired, the cat meows in apparent agony and the shot is muffled. After several shots, the cat will die and fly from the end of the gun.
