1. Chainsaw Decapitation - Resident Evil 4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcX45ZTMQk8 And yet, my #1 choice isn't nearly as controversial with the world at large, nor is it anywhere near as well known. It is, however, the most disturbing and vomit-inducing kill I've ever seen in a game, and yet one that I can't stop watching. Whenever I hear a chainsaw revving up while playing Resident Evil 4, my neck hairs stand up on end (and all my hairs, basically), as I know that Doctor Salvador is coming, the chainsaw-clad, burlap sack-wearing maniac who is only too eager to make you part with your torso if you're not quick on your feet. Easily the most stressful enemy in any of the Resident Evil games, Salvador doesn't mess around, and if you don't keep moving, he will effortlessly sink his chainsaw into your neck. The worst bit is the relatively slow manner through which the chainsaw bores through, forcing us to watch Leon's agony, writhing around before he finally succumbs to the saw and his head falls behind his limp corpse. It's absolutely revolting and I've lost my appetite just thinking about it. Which excessively violent gaming moments shock you the most? Let us know in the comments below.
