The Most Controversial Games Of All Time

2. Carmageddon

1997 SCi Inspired by Death Race 2000, Carmageddon caused outrage for the way it encouraged its players to drive carelessly into pedestrians with glee. Slamming your car into someone would result in a satisfyingly bloody explosion of flailing limbs and screams, offering bonus points and increasing your score. Your driver could also be seen smiling and laughing at the carnage in the corner of the screen. Preceding GTA€™s hit-and-run gameplay, Carmageddon€™s gore was unashamedly outrageous and graphic, resulting in questions over the increasing realism of video game violence. In many countries including the U.K, the game was refused certification in its uncut form - resulting in the pedestrians being altered to shambling green blooded zombies. After months of appeal, the BBFC certified the uncut version of the game with an 18 certificate. http://youtu.be/yqrftlCAic0
