Even before the release of Manhunt, Rockstar Games was no stranger to controversy. But the way it handled violence was smarter than it first appeared.
Did anyone order a gory salade with some violence? Bon appétit! Here are some gory and violent games on the PS2.
I've played nearly every game listed in this article. If I remember correctly, I think the Punisher was the bloodiest.
Some games of yesteryear were just ahead of their time. So Half-Glass Gaming takes a moment to wax poetically about some favorites from a bygone era and whip up a list of games we would love to see remakes of.
Had a lot of fun with Scarface. That was around the peak of GTA clones. The amount of them has decreased substantially.
Beyond Good and Evil would be fantastic
Simpsons Hit and Run, expanded with new areas from the newer seasons and with all the hubs joining on from one another to make one massive open world game
Bugs Bunny Lost in Time / Bugs Bunny and Taz: Time Busters
Sheep, Dog n Wolf (Sheep Raider)
Toy Story 2
Legend of Dragoon
Some of my "out there" picks anyway...
Ape Escape series
B.L.A.C.K.
Path of Neo
Max Payne trilogy (or at least 1&2) BY ANYONE OTHER THAN GROVESTREET GAME FFS!
Oasis
Rise of the Argonauts
Killzone 2
F.E.A.R.
Just off the top of my head
Yup max Payne 1 by Grove St games would be the mobile version they did which dropped the difficulty to none existant just in 4k unfortunately.
I would’ve added stalker but were thankfully getting a sequel soon. This would be my list
FEAR
Max Payne 1 & 2
Blood
Freedom Fighters
Syphon Filter
Dino Crisis
PC has Mods, Xbox Series X has (4K?)/60fps. For consoles this would probably come down to deeper visual quality and quality of life improvements in one package, like the treatment Mass Effect trilogy got.
I want it specifically on Switch though.. now later this year I plan on getting a Series X and I'll enjoy it there as well. My main problem is the fact that Bethesda has re-released Skyrim on nearly every console for 3 generations yet they haven't done anything with Fallout 3 or New Vegas. Those are just as popular as Skyrim so why haven't they been Remastered for all the current or even last gen consoles yet? I feel like us Fallout fans are getting the short end of the stick here.

i dont get censorship in games.
they have warnings on the boxings, age ratings, drug use warnings, strong language and sexual themes and many more.
its not so much the government's job to censor, as it is for parents to make sure their kids dont play those games. and those who are easily disturbed or sensitive, should stay away from them.
i do understand that some things might be triggering for some but.... why do ppl suck so much lol.
but being in debt before 18 or 21 is highly acceptable somehow ha
seriously.
I’m glad there’s not much censorship in the UK towards video games. Reading bully was banned confused me as i don’t recall that at all.
Nintendo has always been bashed for its censorship (green blood in MK controversy) and then they gave us some dark moments like Crocomire’s death in Super Metroid and even let us strangle people to death with the Wii controller. It’s like they have tried at times but there image is very much Cemented as family friendly so I don’t think they will ever be able to stray far from that.
I remember my mom coming home from work with a copy of Thrill Kill and saying “I heard this games banned so I got you a copy” 🙌
Honestly the game wasn’t even that bad, there’s far worse content in books and movies.
Thrill kill at the time was edgy, but there has been much worse. Fun times with Imp the pimp!
honestly, its up to the parents and the players on what kind of experience they want to have, not the publisher.
Still need to play this game, it's in the backlog
I used to play this game alot back in the day the stealth in it felt great.
