The Torture Game
It almost felt like sacrilege doing this, but I couldn't resist.
So what do you guys think? Has this game gone too far, or is it just a harmless diversion? Or was your immediate reaction "OMG BLOOD AND GUTS!!!!"?
Note: I initially came across this game thanks to an article on MSNBC.com called "Should you take 'Torture' seriously?" by Winda Benedetti. It's actually a well-written and researched article on an inflammatory subject in gaming, from a mainstream media outlet, that doesn't browbeat the reader into thinking all games are evil.
And for those keeping score, I did indeed make a direct comparison between the Spanish Inquisition and the content on Newgrounds.com in this blog.
