Condemned 2 is getting up there. Most of the violence in it is good old homely "realistic" violence, relatively common objects, and reasonably realistic consequences to, for example, smashing someone face first into a glass display cabinet.
Most violent? Hmm... Probably Unreal Tournament and its sequels. Nothing quite like the Flak Cannon.
No More Heroes/Killer 7 were pretty violent as well, despite the whole shower-of-red-dots thing. Also in terms of sheer volume, Diablo 2 was pretty high on the list...

Conan. But I'm willing to allow that this may only be because I've never gotten a chance to play a GoW title.

I really don't like extremely violent video games too much (Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion and games of the like are fine with me. I am an RPG freak.) ;-) but I have played my share of them. I would have to say probably Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, The Suffering, or (Shudder) The Darkness... x-P They are all pretty violent.
A third for Manhunt here.
My opinion is that violence on screen is only as unsettling as the atmosphere the game creates. So for example Manhunt and Condemned give the player a real sense of peril and danger through the lighting, sound effects and level design. In this way the violence has all the more impact on the player.
The truly best games, IMHO, give you the feeling of fighting for your life, and the two aforementioned crank it up with a real visceral quality. This makes the stabbing and shooting all the more abhorrent, but also strangely gratifying.
Mark = D. Did not answer question. Must try harder.

Architect: Severance - Blade of Darkness severance? i'd have to agree, it is fucking awesome.
Myth II was gory as all hell too during the battles and aftermath. limbs of comrades slapping, splattering, and pasting themselves onto teammates. Diablo and Doom of course had sadistic gore. impaled and mutilated partially alive bodies.
Half-Life had some hilariously fun gore! human/alien gibbs alike flying across the room in SP and TFC!!

Another vote for SoF. How can Gears possibly be bloodier than SoF? You can shoot off limbs, blow out intestines (literally), and there's even a gun that makes people expand until they blow up a la Octopussy.ReepNeep said:
I know that you can chainsaw limbs off in Gears, but disembowelment wins.
