great article but on the last page it was more about deaths in cutscenes that are uncontrollable such as the cod 4 one where you have to go through that phase to continue the game, compare this to the resi 4 death as it is controllable and you dont need it to happen making it into a death animation but if it was an article about deaths in uncontrolable cutscenes it would have been perfectly ok

not giving away any BioShock spoilers, but everyone knows about Atlas, but the death in the bathysphere of "his family" is really sad. Also, in Saints Row 2 (what?) when Carlos dies is really really sad, I just went about killing as many Brotherhood as I could

I remember the first time I died by being ripped to shreds by zombies. And then the nice informative "You Died" comes onscreen to remind me of the fact. Thanks! Just in case I didn't know. And just for kicks I remember the Licker just crawling over my body. Not eating or anything, just kind of sitting there saying "yeah...you're dead. haha"

"Awww, what did they do to Jenny?"
She didn't deserve to die...not like that. But she did. That game did it better than any move ever could in a death scene.

I was touched by the Lone Wanderer's death at the end of Fallout 3. I thought it'd be like Oblivion where you could play after the main quest. It really did make me feel sad.

How could you forget Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth? If you witness too many horrifying events/things, your character will start to go insane, seeing and hearing things that aren't there. Eventually, it gets so bad that, when you pull a weapon out, your character kills himself.
Not to mention at the beginning of the game, in the Arkham Asylum. After you finish writing in a journal, you hang yourself.

I always loved the Mario death. However, it always pissed me off, sometime i died 4 NO REASON! Also, what revrock said: the drowning scences in Sonic the Hedgehog were suspenceful! "OMG, wheres the freakin jump spring!?!"

A. I never got past 10 minutes of The Darkness, mostly because it scared the SHIT out of me.
B. I love how in the Tomb Raider video how she screams then *snap*. I just had to laugh at that
