"There is just something about hospital levels in games that send shivers down the spine.
Many games, from the recently released Wolfenstein, to Max Payne 2, to Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway, to Left4Dead, make us nervous spending time in these ominous dens of sickness, madness and death.
In the gaming world hospitals are often atmospheric places where demons lurk in the basement, or gown wearing zombies charge from every corner, or mad torturing doctors await, or we are confronted by ghosts of our past.
Yet, in real life, people do indeed fear hospitals and the gown clad attendants which run them."
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.

its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
He wants to launch all his projects initially through close beta.
I can tell you I hate hospitals and have spent a little too much time in them, but my wife feels totally different being a nurse.
They do make very creepy locations for games trying to instill some fear or unease for sure!
Imagine working at Dr. Death's hospital like the writer!
I've had my share of hospitals over the years, everything from major back surgery, to thumbs cut with bench saws, and metal in eyes . . .and they all do have a certain element of foreboding about them.
Knowing a few nurses certain raise the scary factor as well, as the stories they can often come out with sure makes your hair stand on end, like seeing paitents that are walking around, but actually dies a few hours ago - well, they thought they saw them walking around.
Makes games seem tame.
The mental ward on WaW was really freaky! I hate hospitals in games, too scary haha
Like what Silent Hill / Condemned / Doom / Dead Space / FEAR style game doesn't have one now?
Might be scarier for there to be NO hospital now!
I hate Hospitals
