Torture Games - Online Video Games Getting More Violent
Online Video Games Getting More Violent

If the chainsaw scene in Scarface was your favorite and you have all the Saw movies, then Torture Game 2 may bloody well be just for you chap.

If not, you’re going to be horribly offended and SHOCKED at the increasing trend towards ULTRA graphic violence.

Jam spears through a guy hanging by ropes, fire a shotgun blast at him, comb his legs with a razor. Yes it’s online and free to play. Carl Havemann is the person to thank for this noble effort.

But since it’s been played 250,000 and has a 4+ rating out of 5, somebody is loving making hamburger out of the character.

I'm of the opinion that it lacks anything resembling entertainment. Over the course of a couple of minutes I drove spears through the dangling man's body, fired a shotgun at his wrists, and combed his legs with a razor. The game is cheap, humourless, buggy, and utterly purposeless. At best, it's a little distressing. At worst, it's depressing, considering that the game has been played nearly a quarter of a million times on Newgrounds alone, and has a user rating of 4.29 out of 5. (theglobeandmail)
