4. MadWorld – Even Nintendo’s Wii had a few games with enough guts to fill a Halloween film. Madworld’s Jack had a chainsaw attached to his arm with which he would cut enemies in half. The bosses in particular usually met a grisly demise, ending up in pieces. Using the motion controls to guide the chainsaw made it all the more realistic.
3. Dead Space 2 – Essentially the video game equivalent of Aliens, Dead Space 2 can’t go five minutes without making you squeamish. Our hero, Isaac, could shoot off the arms and legs of the horrific necromorphs, and should the player ever fail then Isaac’s own death was usually hard to stomach. One particular scene involving eye surgery reaches new graphical extremes.
2. God of War III – Having killed practically every other person in Greece, Kratos sets his sights on the gods for this third outing. After eye-gouging Poseidon, cutting off Hermes’s legs, punching Hercules’ face in and literally ripping off Helios’ head, a final showdown with Zeus feels tame compared to the rest of the gore.
1. Mortal Kombat – Last year’s Mortal Kombat reboot tops the list with the return of the iconic fatalities. It may have been the ninth entry in the series but it wasn’t short on ideas on how to decapitate, stab, disembowel and crush the unlucky soul to lose a fight. Heads rolled, sides were split and bodies burned, making it the most violent hardcore game out there.Top 5 non-violent games
5. FIFA 12 – It’s one of the most popular games out there, but there’s not a drop of blood in sight. Okay, so the occasional dive or tackle might look a little painful, but FIFA stands as a perfect example of a successful non-violent game.
4. Super Mario Galaxy – This Mario title packs all the perfect gameplay of its rivals, without any gore. Mario has stood as a symbol of child-friendly hardcore gaming ever since his birth back in the 80’s, and his best Wii outing is no exception.
3. Flower – Flower is unlike anything ever seen in gaming. Players control a flower pettle and then steer it round an expansive map, ridding fields of urban decay and restoring the world to natural beauty. There’s no combat, just a relaxing, engulfing experience that perfectly demonstrates what makes gaming so unique.
2. LittleBigPlanet – Much like Mario, LittleBigPlanet stands as a perfect game for both old and young audiences, highlighting creativity over action. Players can create their own levels to jump around and even populate it with enemies to avoid. It’s about as harmless as the plastic case it comes in.
1. Animal Crossing – Animal Crossing is about living life in the suburbs and worrying about things like fishing and furniture arrangement, not seeking revenge and getting a stylish kill. It’s been a fan-favorite franchise from Nintendo for years and earns the top spot through its peaceful depiction of life in the suburbs.
Top 5 addicting games
5. Angry Birds – This is one of the biggest games on smartphones, a fact that’s held thanks to its completely addictive nature. The short puzzle-esque levels are perfect for that “one last go” gameplay that has you playing way past bed time.
4. Peggle – It’s almost impossible to put Peggle down. The game itself is like pinball, getting players to clear stages of orange pegs by shooting balls at them. Trying to pull off perfect shots is immensely moreish, and it doesn’t help that the game is available on almost all game systems under the sun.
3. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – As the youngest game on this list, Skryim has undoubtedly been responsible for many missed deadlines and broken relationships since last November. An open-world RPG, the game has literally hundreds of hours of quests, combat and levelling up to divulge in. It’s possible to completely ignore the central story and go off and explore for a good 100 hours before returning.
2. Call of Duty – It’s unfair to pin one single Call of Duty game down as more addictive than another. Each year the franchise sees release in November, bringing with it a completely new online shooter experience that constantly tops Xbox and PlayStation usage charts. The game allows players to level up by performing well in online matches. Once hitting the top level, you’re given the option to do it all over again, making the replayability seemingly endless.
1. World of Warcraft – No doubt readers have heard a story or two about someone doing nothing but playing this massively multiplayer game. Literally thousands of hours of content are on offer here, all of which can be played with friends time and time again to level up and collect better kit. It’s not uncommon to lose entire days sitting in front of a PC and playing this game.
