Soldier of Fortune 2


The Top 7... Bloodiest games you've never played

We spew a whole mess of gore-soaked games you've never heard of - and we do mean mess

Words: Dan Amrich, GamesRadar US

1. Nano Breaker - Konami, 2005 - PS2

It's no mistake that the main weapon in Nano Breaker is called the Plasma Blade. Armed with this sci-fi piece of cutlery, you slash through nanomachine-infected humans who have been unwittingly enslaved and turned into literal killing machines. Slice through them and they spew huge gouts of... "liquid". And it's this fuzzy line between man and machine that makes Nano Breaker unique. Is it blood? Well of course it is. Konami made sure to call it liquid instead, but it looks like blood to us.

At least, it does when it's red. Go to the Options menu and you'll find you can select "Liquid Color." Blue, purple, safety orange - it's up to you, but whatever shade you choose, expect literally gallons of it splattering the walls and floors. Our favorite setting was the multicolor liquid - the resulting carnage makes every stage look like a clown slaughterhouse, or an explosion in a Skittles factory. Taste the rainbow, indeed.

Above: True, slightly disturbing fact: Nano Breaker and Shadow of Rome were both the result of Japanese designers trying to appeal more to the "western" audience - so they added huge, brutal fountains of blood.

Shadow of Rome was an amazing game but kinda felt immature with the gore... like it was there olny gimick. Would have been an amazing game if i could take it seriously.

Just goes to show that anything in excess eventually becomes hilarious. I don't know why No More Heros wasn't on this list (the uncensored U.S. version at least), and it's too bad Madworld wasn't released in time for this article, it would fit right in.

@ericairasole : In the beginning of the article, it says that it would address the games that were more obscure, as opposed to more mainstream ones.

I'm pretty sure GoW 1 and 2 fall under the "mainstream" category.

Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix is freaking amazing. I still play the multiplayer on that game. The single player is still entertaining to me.

If anyones ever played the game "Die By The Sword"
i personally think tht shouldve been in there due to the dismemberment of limbs factor of it.
