2. Manhunt
Rockstar Games makes it on the list a second time with its stealth-based survival horror game, Manhunt. You play as a death row prisoner given a chance to win back your freedom by killing a gang named “The Hoods”.
The game revolves around finding new and sadistic ways to kill your enemies. The graphic violence in this game is unthinkable; you can pretty much kill people with anything from plastic bags to crowbars. Every execution seems real and horrific, so much so that it was banned in several countries and was even implicated in a murder by the UK media.
Even the staff involved in the making of the game admitted to feeling uncomfortable, says former Rockstar employee Jeff Williams: “There was almost a mutiny at the company over that game”.
