Manhunt 2

Crushing someone's skull with a sledgehammer is a bad idea, but if you've ever caught yourself fantasizing about it after a brutal day at work, check out this follow-up to Manhunt, which was banned in New Zeland because of its graphic violence. We can only imagine what's going to happen when the haters find out you can use the Wii controllers to slit your enemy's throat. The third-person game follows Dr. Daniel Lamb who - in the game of science (and hoping for the big-buck payout of a Nobel Prize) - subjected himself to more than one experimental test and went a little nuts. We find him after he's woken up to find the door of his asylum cell unlocked. To escape, he must slink his way through the eerie levels and execute anyone who gets in his way. He's got plenty of ways to do it, too, from blowing off the back of someone's head with a pistol to slicing off their cojones with a wire cutter and yanking out a vertebra. It's gross. It's twisted. It's also a hell of a lot of fun. Just don't come crying to use if your girlfriend says she doesn't want to be alone with you because she caught you giving a gimp a fatal swirly.

Verdict 5/5
