10 Most Violent Video Games of 2016 (and What Kids Can Play Instead)

Alekhine's Gun, a third-person action game casts you in the role of a 1960s Cold War-era assassin working for the CIA. Players kill enemies using knives, poison, and a variety of guns and can strangle targets with garrotes (iron collars). Blood splatter is shown on walls and floors after head shots, and some cut scenes also show graphic moments of violence. The game grades players on stealth, willingness to openly fire weapons on enemies, and level of destruction (the more violent, the higher the grade).
Alternate third-person action games: Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens (age 10+), The Deadly Tower of Monsters (age 13+).
