10 MOST VIOLENT GAMES NAMED

Family Media Guide ranks the goriest games of the year; Resident Evil 4, GTA, 50 Cent make list.

Resident Evil 4. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. God of War. It might read like a list of Game of the Year nominees, but it's actually a sampling of games from Family Media Guide's recently released Top 10 Most Violent Video Games list.

The 10 games named by Family Media Guide and the reasons given for their inclusion are as follows:


Resident Evil 4(Superb Horror survival game)--"Player is a Special Forces agent sent to recover the President's kidnapped daughter. During the first minutes of play, it's possible to find the corpse of a woman pinned up on a wall--by a pitchfork through her face."





Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas(Well - THE Game)--"Player is a young man working with gangs to gain respect. His mission includes murder, theft, and destruction on every imaginable level. Player recovers his health by visiting prostitutes then recovers funds by beating them to death and taking their money. Player can wreak as much havoc as he likes without progressing through the game's storyline."



God of War(One of the best Action-Adventure game ever)--"Player becomes a ruthless warrior, seeking revenge against the gods who tricked him into murdering his own family. Prisoners are burned alive and player can use 'finishing moves' to kill opponents, like tearing a victim in half."





NARC--"Player can choose between two narcotics agents attempting to take a dangerous drug off the streets and shut down the KRAK cartel while being subject to temptations including drugs and money. To enhance abilities, player takes drugs including pot, Quaaludes, ecstasy, LSD, and 'Liquid Soul'--which provides the ability to kick enemies' heads off."

Killer 7--"Player takes control of seven assassins who must combine skills to defeat a band of suicidal, monstrous terrorists. The game eventually escalates into a global conflict between the US and Japan. Player collects the blood of fallen victims to heal himself and must slit his own wrists to spray blood to find hidden passages."

The Warriors--"Based on a '70s action flick that set new standards for 'artistic violence,' a street gang battles its way across NYC in an attempt to reach its home turf. Player issues several commands to his gang, including 'mayhem,' which causes the gang to smash everything in sight."
50 Cent: Bulletproof--"Game is loosely based on the gangster lifestyle of rapper Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson. Player engages in gangster shootouts and loots the bodies of victims to buy new 50 Cent recordings and music videos."

Crime Life: Gang Wars--"Player is the leader of a ruthless street gang, spending time fighting, recruiting new gangsters, looting, and of course, more fighting. Player can roam the streets and fight or kill anyone in sight for no apparent reason."

Condemned: Criminal Origins--"Player is an FBI serial killer hunter in one of the first titles for the Xbox 360. Game emphasizes the use of melee weapons over firearms, allowing players to use virtually any part of their environment as a weapon. The next-generation graphics provide a new level of detail to various injuries, especially 'finishing moves.'"

True Crime: New York City--"Player is a NYC cop looking for information regarding the mysterious death of a friend. Player can plant evidence on civilians and shake them down to earn extra money."

ThanX to Gamespot

"Mohabbaton mein jeene wale khushnaseeb hain, mohabbaton mein marne waale bhi ajeeb hain; Azeem hai hamari dastaan jaan-e-mann, faaslon mein rehte hain lekin kareeb hain"

- Salman Khan

These are the lines that open the track - 'Humko maloom hai' from Jaan-E-Mann. The melody that follows is unique as Sonu Nigam starts singing 'Hum Ko Maaloom Hain'. An extremely difficult number to compose and sing, both Anu Malik and Sonu Nigam make it all sound so easy inspite of Gulzar saab coming up with his trademark 'conversational' lyrics rather than a conventional prose. One can hear a variety of instruments in this marvelously orchestrated number that may sound akin to an A.R. Rehman composition but it still completely original. In the end, the song takes a sad turn(my FAV part of the song - simply gr8) and even comes close to Ismail Darbar's 'Tadap Tadap'. The signature tune of 'Humko Maaloom Hai' marks the beginning of 'Sau Dard' which is yet another brilliant song.
Well Anu Malik is back, alive and kicking!!!
