10 Most Grotesquely Violent Video Games Ever

7. Bulletstorm

Bulletstorm is a shooter set in the future which sees you fight off General Sarrano and his men, the Dead Echo team. While the story centres around revenge it is the gameplay which makes this title a little tongue-in-cheek with its over-the-top levels of gore and violence. The game boasts a €˜skill shot€™ system: this mechanic means you get points based on how you kill your enemies. A normal headshot, which is plenty violent in most games, will only earn you so many points. You really need style to get the high numbers in this game.

Why not use your energy leash to throw your enemies into the air and shoot them or pull them towards you and then boot them into a carnivorous plant? Bulletstorm really encourages the creative killer to perfect their art. If you€™re feeling particular hatred towards your virtual enemies, you can choose to shoot them in the testicles and while they€™re bent over, writhing in pain, put them out of their misery with an execution kill. Many of the achievements in the game are earned by performing a certain number of each complex kill. While this game is not realistic in the slightest, the violence is still on the extreme levels landing it a place on this list.
