China Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 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.

webnarc Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I was playing Animal Crossing the other day, and I went out and raped a kitten. I'm not pro-animal cruelty but that’s freakening funny! A most disturbing visual though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpillian Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Hey, I'm as big of a fan of most of these types of games as the next guy (loved GTA) -- but it does make you wonder how healthy an influence these games are on all of us. Same goes for similar products across all mediums. Desensitization is the result of a majority of our entertainment -- and that can't be a good thing. For a race that largely claims to be "evolving" or making "progress" in general -- we have developed some really unedifying forms of entertainment.
