Now lets get into todays list of the Top 10 Scary Illegal Video Games To Play
#10 Mass Effect Series
The Mass effect series is a sci-fi action game created by Bioware and for some the gameplay
is too scary to get through.
Although thats not the reason why it became illegal in both Singapore and the United Arab
Emirates.
This game does have some creepy creatures lurking in the darkness, but for Singapore
the only thing they hated was the lesbian scene.
For those of you who are unaware theres a scene between a female character and an alien
who looks feminine that just went a little too far for them.
#9 Command and Conquer
This game is a real-time strategy game developed by Westwood studios and was actually one of
the first few types of games with this real time strategy style.
The Command and Conquer game Generals really didnt sit well with the country of China.
Most likely because the games campaign mode starts off by showing the complete nuclear
destruction of Beijing.
Although the player has nothing to do with this, China was not pleased with seeing their
cherished landmarks being destroyed in a video game.
Now that didnt stop some Chinese citizens from attempting to pirate the illegal video
game, but when prompted with the option to bomb Tiananmen Square they realized very quickly
why it was illegal in the first place.
#8 Wolfenstein 3D
This illegal video game is a bone chilling first-person shooter that was released back
in 1992.
In the game players take on the role of spy William Blazkowicz during World War 2 and
play along as he escapes from a Nazi German prison called Wolfenstein.
As you may imagine the country of Germany did not appreciate the depiction of their
people being killed in a video game, even if theyre Nazis.
In the game you even have the opportunity to kill Adolf Hitler and for Germans they
have a very strict rules on not allowing any media that references Nazis or Hitler.
They do educate their public in the school systems about the atrocities that the German
people took part in, but glorifying their death in a video game was enough to make it
illegal.
#7 Phantasmagoria
This point and click adventure is a classic horror video game that was released by Sierra
On-Line back in 1995.
Its revolves around the story of Adrienne Delaney who as a writer moves to a remote
mansion where supernatural forces start to terrorize her.
Sounds too much like the Shining.
The mansion in this game though was previously occupied by a black magic practitioner.
The amount of sheer violence in this game which included a very graphic moment of a
pendulum cutting the womans head in half resulted in Australia authorities calling for its ban.
#6 Left 4 Dead 2
This game is a co-op first person shooter developed by the Valve Corporation and is
the sequel to the hugely popular first Left 4 Dead.
The game was banned in Australia due to the simple fact that its rated for people over
the age of 18.
Most likely because theres a ton of violence and gore.
The game puts on display a lot of decapitation, dismemberment and even shows piles of dead
bodies.
In Australia their authorities do not have a rating for games over the mature 15 plus
audience.
As a result the actual version of the game was illegal with the game developers having
to severely water it down for the Australia market.
The game was also banned in Germany for similar reasons, but the Australian people were the
only ones who took to the streets in an Epic Zombie Lurch protest.
The outcry actually prompted Australia to review there ratings for video games.
#5 Dead Rising 3
This action-adventure video game follows in the footsteps of the first two games in the
Dead Rising series except for the new protagonist Nick Ramos that players get to know.
The game showcases a lot of pretty gruesome and violent mass zombie killing and again
Germany said nope nope nope not here.
Germany also has very very strict restrictions on any video games that displays the killing
of any human-like enemies.
Were guessing they didnt look close enough to realize that they were zombies and not
just really sick humans.
Although they allowed Gears of War 3 to slide in without any restrictions so this one kinda
makes you scratch your head.
#4 Outlast 2
This game is a first-person survival horror video game that follows investigative journalist
Blake Langermann as he investigates a rural area near the western edge of the Colorado
plateau.
Blake works with his wife Lynn and after crash landing in the Supai region while trying to
solve the murder of a young woman he wakes up after the crash to find the pilot skinned
and his wife missing.
The game showcases a lot of grotesque scenes such as people on sticks, piles of dead babies
and even this giant woman who hits you with an axe right in the family jewels.
Add that all up and the Australian rating board goes crazy.
#3 Manhunt Series
This video game series is a stealth-based survival game developed by Rockstar Studios
and has a mixture of psychological horror elements.
This game series is so graphic that its actually banned in seven countries which include Germany,
the UK and it was the first game that Ireland banned.
The reason why is because youre not killing monsters or zombies in this game, it depicts
a protagonist that violently murders characters with objects around the home.
The game even gives you descriptions with each object on how to do the most damage.
#2 Carmageddon
This brutal game is all about vehicular combat and has players racing against each other,
but the way to gain more time and collect bonuses includes running over pedestrians.
For 1997 and I bet even if it was released now this game just falls a little too far
on the controversial side.
For a while it was banned in Brazil, German and the UK, but to sneak around some of the
censorship they had to get crafty.
The developers actually modded the pedestrians to look more like zombies and robots to get
into those markets.
#1 Postal Series
This shooter game is well deserved for our number one spot, created by running with scissors
its well known for its excessive violence and very controversial content.
These developers took the term going postal to a whole new level by letting gamers take
control of a character that seeks out and kills postal workers, innocent civilians and
even armed NPCs.
The second game in the series cant even be finished without killing someone.
As a result 13 countries voted to ban the entire series with the US postal service suing
the video game company for smearing their name.
And that has been the Top 10 Scary Illegal Video Games To Play.
