1. LOLLIPOP CHAINSAW
You’d expect a game with ‘chainsaw’ in the damn name to revolve heavily around chainsaws, and you’d be correct. Cheerleader and zombie hunter Juliet Starling kicks undead ass with her sparkly double chainsaw of death, sending limbs and heads flying with her energetic dance moves. Yeah, it’s a weird game. The zombie apocalypse has never been so fabulous.
2. EVIL DEAD
There have been a few Evil Dead games over the years – our favourite probably being Hail To The King on PSone. Ash is just perfect as a videogame character. This is a guy so badass that he cut off his evil hand and replaced it with… oh yeah, a chainsaw. Is anything better than playing as the guy who invented chainsaw arms?
3. DOOM 3: BFG EDITION
Doom has had a long love affair with chainsaws, and Doom 3’s incarnation did not disappoint. Arriving at the point of the game where you transition from scared survivor to ass-kicking avenger, it feels mighty fine to get up close and personal with some demon guts via your new best friend. Hell ain’t got nothing on noisy gardening equipment.
4. GRAND THEFT AUTO: VICE CITY
Vice City is one big love letter to the Eighties. Remember that scene in Scarface where the remains of a chainsaw murder are found in a bathroom? Vice City contains not only the bathroom, but the chainsaw too, for Tommy Vercetti to wield as he sees fit. This normally involves running down the road with it, cackling like an utter lunatic.
5. RESIDENT EVIL 4
You might not be the one using the chainsaw in Resi 4, but it’s still plenty memorable. If you’ve played it, you’ll know exactly what we mean. That dude with the bag on his head – if he gets too close, it’s bad times ahead for Leon S Kennedy. Resi has always had some nasty deaths, but this takes the cake. You are dead!
