BESTS 
Tags: video games, technology, gadgets, nintendo, play station, play station 2, PS2
Games.net lays out the foulest, nastiest, most blood-spurting video game deaths of all time! Which one's your favorite?
| | Cranial Collapse (God of War) - [ PS2 ] In the early cinematic where you witness the pitiless executions dealt by Kratos, one scene above all stands out--our antihero crushes the head of an enemy against the side of a mountain like an egg. |
| | Death Dive (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) - [ PS2 ] While the impact from doing this is pretty weak, skydiving into the earth is one of the most hair-raising activities in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. And hey, if nothing else, it'll keep your mind off that sweet, sweet Hot Coffee. |
| | Squashing Pedestrians (Carmageddon) - [ PC ] Spreading the entrails of an innocent pedestrian across the highway in Carmageddon was, and still is, one of the most grotesque virtual demises. Roger Corman would be proud! |
| | Redneck Smoothie (Thrill Kill) - [ Playstation ] In the never-released Thrill Kill (yes, we have it), one of Cleetus' lethal finishing moves was to tear the head off his opponent and drink the blood that leaked out of his victim's severed neck. Yeah, that's pretty gruesome. |
| | Chainsaw to the Throat (Resident Evil 4) - [ PS2 ] I still have stains in my undies from the first time I failed to fight off the sack-headed Doctor Salvador... and, as a result, received a trachea full of jagged metal. |
| | Facial Reconstruction (Soldier of Fortune 2) - [ PC ] Soldier of Fortune 2 was released four years ago and it's still the master of maiming. In what other game can you slice off portions of enemies' faces, or peer into their gaping abdominal cavities with all the clinical detachment of a drunken ER orderly? |
| | The Reincarnation of Vulcan Raven (Metal Gear Solid) You have got to have some really big nuts to mess with a minigun-wielding shaman covered in scary tattoos, so it figures that no ordinary death would suffice for this guy. But we gotta hand it to Vulcan Raven--evaporating into a bunch of birds is a pretty slick way to buy the farm. |
| | Castration via Razor-Sharp Hat (Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks) Public speaking? Phooey! Man's true number one fear is that which Kung Lao exploits during his "Buzz saw" Fatality in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. You know the fear we're talking about... |
| | Aeris Shish Kebab (Final Fantasy VII) - [ Playstation ] As if just wasting the babe from FFVII wasn't enough of a shock. Aeris' end, where she was gored in the back by Sephiroth, was more graphic and grandiose than anyone could have ever imagined...especially considering this was a Teen-rated game from the same company that brought us those cuddly Chocobos. |
| | Osama Bin Laden BBQ (Postal 2) - [ PC ] This game definitely has its share of impressive ways to kill. You can brain people by lobbing rotting cow heads, electrocute them with a tazer, and then finish them off with the dreaded "golden shower." As inventive as these were, the best death in all of Postal 2 is roasting the FBI's most wanted scumbag with a gallon of gasoline and a box of strike-anywhere matches. Do it for America! |
