PC Authority lists the most violent video games

PC Authority writer Alex Kidman listed what he believes the five most violent games in last 25 years in a recent article. Instead of jumping to attention getting titles that have only been out for a few years, like Grand Theft Auto, Mortal Kombat or Silent Hill, Kidman does his research and goes after some games which truly deserved their mature ratings. The five titles he lists as most violent/graphic are Custer’s Revenge, Night Trap, Carmageddon, Thrill Kill and Manhunt.

His article is definitely worth a read, as every title he mentions definitely would merit an M rating from the ESRB. In fact, Manhunt was the only title out of the five I’d heard of before the list. Frankly, I’m apalled to hear that a title like Custer’s Revenge was even made.

Kidman also calls for feedback at the end, asking readers to provide suggestions for graphic titles he may have missed. I think he really covered everything perfectly. Some of the titles he mentioned make current controversial games pale in comparison.
