The Longest, Hardest Falls in Gaming

Watch us throw ourselves off tall stuff for your amusement

Words: Joe McNeilly, GamesRadar US

If you’ve ever stood on top of something tall, you’ve thought about jumping off it. Luckily, games let us live our fantasies and do the impossible, without suffering any messy consequences. We hope you’ll enjoy our montage of precipitous plunges and terrifying tumbles from throughout gaming history. It’s as close as you can get to skydiving or base jumping without risking life and limb. If you suffer from vertigo, acrophobia, fear of flying, hives, pox or an overly anxious disposition, we suggest you avoid this video entirely, and instead take a glass of warm milk to calm your nerves. Still here? Then jump right in and enjoy the virtual freefall!

Ed. note: we left out Oblivion’s many high points as we already covered Cyrodiil’s dizzying heights in another feature.
