10 Most Grotesquely Violent Video Games Ever
5. Postal 2
You may have heard of the incredibly controversial Postal 2 for all manner of undesirable reasons. Postal 2 was banned in several countries including Australia, Sweden and Malaysia for its graphic depiction of violence and cruelty so of course it belongs on this list. The people behind Postal 2 tried to defend the game by saying the level of violence is entirely down to the player; this seems a little dubious as your character is always subject to attacks in some form or other which require a suitably violent counterattack.
The horrendous levels of violence depicted in Postal 2 are instigated by your enemies. A group of people who hate books set the library on fire and threaten to murder everyone inside which obviously requires you to go postal to save other people. When youre not dismembering bodies you can also engage in one activity which enraged people in New Zealand: urinating on the ruined corpses of your enemies. Apparently the violence wasnt enough for the guys over at Running with Scissors, Inc. and they just had to continue pushing the boundaries they had crossed a long time ago. With all its controversy Postal 2 is infamous amongst gamers for being one of the most violent video games of all time; a feat that arguably convinces more people to play it.
