10 Horror Video Games That Let YOU Be The Killer

10. Manhunt

Both entries of Manhunt see you play as a character with some serious aggression to unleash on the world, but the original title still stands out as one of the most lasting murderous experiences out there. Endlessly controversial and on a number of ban lists, Manhunt thrives on a premise that sees a convicted death row inmate forced into a killing spree as the involuntary star of a snuff movie.

Our protagonist, James Earl Cash, is not a nice man, and if the whole death row thing didn't give away his questionable alignment, then it's fair to say he's particularly morbidly talented when it comes to creative killings. That's not to say the people he's whacking are good people either though; the whole game is an exercise in showcasing the worst of human nature at every turn.

Playing as Cash is seemingly a test for just how much blood you can spill in as gross a way as possible, doling out points for brutality and rewarding stealthy, ultraviolent options over simple running and gunning.

Manhunt really puts the psycho man into psychotic maniac.
