Video games have always indulged our adolescent fantasies, and none more so than those revolving around playing with guns--and in some people's cases, playing with hatchets, chainsaws, and cars.

In today's Grand Theft Auto era, nothing is virtually sacred, but it took a whole lot of trailblazing to get this far.

So we at Complex took it upon ourselves to count down the most brutal video games of all time. What incited protests in the '80s may seem quaint now, but don't forget that rock 'n' roll was once the anti-Christ. Let the blame game begin!

    Believe or not the Postal movie is actually really good, its sad people don't even bother watching it because it was made by Uwe Boll

    They missed "The Immortal" on several consoles, by and far the goriest game I've played to date... slice things in half with all organs showing, erupt head, slice stomach and dump guts on the floor... was a lot of fun and had good puzzles too.

    The "Shank" games deserve a spot on this list, in the teens at the very least.
