ScrewAttack has compiled a list of the "Top 10 Worst Ways to Die in Video Games". Which one is your favorite? Mortal Kombat tops our list. Video after the jump.
If Metroid's obliteration made the list, I think a more recent game's total obliteration should have made the list instead of Metroid.
Half Life 2. Remember the combine assault rifle and the dark energy spheres it shot? You get grazed by one of those babies and your solid matter doesn't merely explode into little pieces, it is literally evaporated at the atomic level. There is no more of a complete and all-encompassing end than that. Or if that was too pedestrian for you, how about being hurled into a dark energy stream with a "Zero-Point Energy Field Manipulator". Even if your attacker happens to miss the stream, you become an irradiated death missile where you writhe painfully on the floor before you evaporate and kill any of your buddies that happen to be in the way.
And another thing from Half Life 2 should make the list: Death by flying toilet. Nothing more shameful.

"Okay so..." is not a way to start a sentence.

that was the lamest thing EVER
where the hell was resident evil? having a zombie chomp on your neck until you bleed to death is pretty bad, a little worse then getting squashed by mario.
list was gay apart from the halo 2 teabagging thing that was funny and the mortal combat
but the gay was a plank

I would have liked to see even a mention of telefragging. It had to be one of the most embarrassing ways to die in Doom Deathmatches.
Another that I think should have been mentioned was a method of death is an old Quake TC called Shrak. There was a weapon called the inflator dart gun. Essentially when you hit someone with it, they inflated like a balloon, floated to the ceiling, and then exploded. "The inflator dart gun, getting blown has never sucked so bad."

How can Zelda be a violent game? If anyone think Zelda is violent, Manhunt or Gears of War would blow their heads off! And the last boss fight in Zelda wasn't even anything close to epic. Try Shadow of the Colossus and learn what is a real epic battle. But other then that, it was an entertaining video.

actually the worst way to die is falling through the world in WoW then having your ghost fall through the world as well so that you have to have a GM restore you. That can take anywhere from 1-5 days... all this other crap is dumb

This list is kind of lame.
What about Postal 2's being drenched in gasoline, set afire? or peeing in someone's face until they die?
Duke nukem's shrink ray + stomp.
The Sims drowining in the pool, or getting locked in and peeing yourself first, then dying.

Simply the grossest one of them all is Duke Nuke'Em final. When Duke first claims that he will kill him, rip his head of, and take a shit in his neck.
If you beat the final boss, you see a picture of him doing it...
Fun!

What about all all of the thousands of ways one can die in nethack. Such as the time I was carrying a flamable potion and wearing a cloak while fighting a hobbit with a fire wand. That did not end well.
