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)
