Pong (1972)

Breakout (1976)

Asteroids (1979)

Berzerk (1980)

Wolfenstein 3D (1992)

Mortal Kombat (1992), digitized fatalities, public ritualized executions that made violence the point rather than the byproduct

DOOM (1994, 32X), technically compromised but still saturated in demonic slaughter, proof that console space would bend toward brutality

Corpse Killer (1994, 32X)

Quake (1996), pure kinetic killing in abstract spaces, nothing exists except movement and death

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter (1997), excessive gore and dismemberment layered over alien weaponry and hostile wilderness

GoldenEye 007 (1997)

Unreal (1998)

Halo: Combat Evolved (2001)

GTA3 (2001)

Halo 2 (2004)

F.E.A.R. (2005), hyper-violent gunfights with intelligent enemies, slow-motion brutality that emphasizes impact and fear

Gears of War (2006), chainsaws, executions, industrial-scale violence rendered with weight and cruelty

Condemned: Criminal Origins (2005), first-person melee savagery, pipes and fists in decaying urban spaces, violence intimate and ugly

GTA5 (2013)

Did you even vote? The board is what’s lazy. Like 5 people vote.
