Top 10 Bloodiest Close Combat Fighting Games

July 5, 2013 by Ian Miles Cheong

Gameranx takes a hard look at the ten most brutal, fighting combat games in existence, including titles for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

#1 The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay

Good old Richard D. Riddick. He sure packs a mean punch. And opening a can of whoopass is essential in a game set in the Galaxy’s toughest prison. Riddick slits throats, shoots dudes in the face, steals a fucking mech and turns some guards to pulp, and also just goes mano a mano with some other meatheads unlucky enough to be imprisoned with him. 

Halfway into the game you get to punch some people. And then again and again until they’re all dead, just to prove a point and make yourself more popular. Because that’s how Riddick works. Punching fools is still the least nasty speed Riddick has. The others are, well, as I said. Slitting throats and shooting faces off. Which are all good and fun, but nothing proves a point as knocking a meatbag out cold in a few cool punches.
