Loosely based on the 2004 movie, The Punisher video game more than lives up to its title thanks to the variety of ways in which you can dish out your own personal form of justice. And given the nature of the character, it€™s bloody, nasty, and extremely cruel.

In order to coax information out of people, you can us the environment to torture them through some of the most grisly means found in any game. Some of these involve woodchippers, buzzsaws, laser cutters, ovens, and even piranhas.

The Punisher is the kind of game that comes off more as a torture simulator than anything else; gory and violent in equal measure. In fact, this game drew ire from both the ESRB and the BBFC, the latter of which forced THQ to tame down the deaths for release. It is an extreme game that even gorehounds might feel dirty playing.
