Default Need a butt-kicking video game

Kinda random... I know. But went and saw The Dark Knight Rises recently.. and just started thinking about how awesome it would be to find a video game in which I played as a character like bane (physically very powerful, ruthless) and basically just went around laying a hurt on everyone.

It doesn't have to be a game in which I'm playing an evil or bad character.. but just looking for basic suggestions of games in which I can just beat people up.

Why don't you play Arkham City?

I prefer to project my desire for an adrenaline rush in a way that won't harm anyone.

Assassin's Creed or Skyrim? It's vague what kind of genre/platform you want.

How about settling yourself down by watching a couple of Justin Bieber videos? This always works for me.

Seriously, the game you're looking for is Saints Row 3.

platform is xbox 360 or PC. and I'm not picky about any genre. As long as your character is able to take out a bunch of people with his power, I'll probably like it.

Historically, I've liked all the Force Unleashed games, and the Devil May Cry games. That should give you somewhat of an idea of what I like... superpowered characters to play as, with bosses and the like.

Though, I'd like a game based more on melee than using guns etc.

Another example of what I'm looking for is the God of War games.

Im not a gamer guy but i love super mario games, they are fun, and kinda challenging! Other option is any Splinter Cell game, the fact of being stealth and doing thing quick, makes you thinl a bit and is also challenging.

Darksiders I and II and Transformers Fall of Cybertron will probably be right up your alley.

You're not a super powered heavy but there's a ton of mindless ***** kicking in the Watchmen video game.

My son and I LOVE The Force Unleashed and Devil May Cry games.

I saw they are making a new DMC, I'm extremely excited.

DeadRising 1 or 2. Just running over zombies with reckless abandon. Or GTA. Can even get the old ones (3/Vice City) for 360 since they're backwards compatible, and more fun than GTA4.

Try going to a gym and hitting a punch bag.

Are there nay 'animal' games? I'm not talking about mutant animals or hunting games but actual animal games where you can play a particular animal and have to survive...

God of War franchise would be perfect for you Cup, but its only PS3 i think...

I do that 4 times a week. Also a speed bag.

But there's only so much fun you can have with that, and I don't want to get into actual fights. And sparring prevents me from hitting with full power (don't want to hurt anyone by accident obviously)
