Which video game has the most gruesome death scenes? Surely Mortal Kombat 9 is a contender, in particular Noob Saibot's first fatality called "Make a Wish." It's so ridiculous it stands out despite Mortal Kombat's already high level of gore.
We've put together a list of some of the most gruesome video game deaths. Some of them are really funny, some are just painful to the eye (one literally), or unnecessarily violent.
Saw: The Videogame
Never played Saw: The Videogame? This GIF basically sums up the whole experience.
Dead Space 2
All the Dead Space games are full of exploding meat and blood, but this scene in Dead Space 2 just can't be topped. You may have reacted like this.
Resident Evil 5
It is painful to watch a slow death by chainsaw in Resident Evil 5. Probably more painful to experience, though.
Dead Rising 2
If one chainsaw was not enough, the psycho clown in Dead Rising 2 gets two.
Resident Evil 6
One of the most gruesome death scenes from last year was in Resident Evil 6.
Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Lara Croft can die in 35 ways in the new Tomb Raider, but that doesn't mean the old games lacked gruesome scenes. In Tomb Raider Anniversary, Lara can get eaten by a dinosaur.
If we check older games from the 90s, even the most horrible death scenes are actually just mostly funny.
Prince of Persia
This is probably even more horrifying than getting cut in half by the guillotines in the original Prince of Persia.
Bionic Commando
There's an exploding Hitler head in Bionic Commando, because why not?
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
And finally another one from the Mortal Kombat series, Mileena's first fatality from Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Not necessarily the bloodiest one, but definitely one of the funniest fatalities.
