The Worst Video Game Locations

by windshell/PC Gaming

Rate this article: [ 5 voters ]


There are places in video games you wouldn't like to see in real life. While they could offer a chance for survival in games, in real life they’d be just places of desperation and terror.

Behold some of the worst locations in video games.


Abbott State Penitentiary on Carnate Island (The Suffering)
 
Compared to this prison, Marion looks like Disneyland. Prisoners executed through experiments rise undead hunting you throughout the penitentiary complex. Visions of past events and your inner demons just make the things worse.
Prison is hell, indeed.









Labyrinth
(Pac-Man)


Four angry ghosts aren’t really a trouble. You can always eat some fruit and then chase them away. Being trapped in a never-ending maze, without a chance to get out is a real horror.










Omaha Beach
(Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, and other WWII shooters)


In real life, this was one of the most hellish places on Earth. Unlike in WWII shooter games, there were no health bags on the beach, and each barricade was 50% a cover, and 50% an object that could ricochet the bullet in your head.









Umbrella Mansion in Raccoon City
(Resident Evil)


Everything related to infamous 'allergy' of Racoon City residents started here. This mansion hides the underground passage to Umbrella facility, and it's literally a doorway to hell.










Red Mountain
(Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind)


Whole Ashlands region is utterly depressing, but this place behind the Ghostgate is worse. However, there is an exit. You just have to take care of Dagoth Ur and his minions.










LV-1201
(Alien vs. Predator 2)


All started as a routine call for inspection of an incident on this calm planet. Soon you realize that it's actually infested with xenomorphs having nasty habits like climbing on walls or moving in groups, and of course, biting your head off. Also, there is invisible hunter that will join the party later. Yes, the one that once pissed Jean Claude Van Damme off.
You were right soldier. You should never leave that ship.










City 17
(Half-Life 2)


There are probably opera, airport and theater in this city. It has marvelous sunsets as well. But there is also a bunch of ‘Ruskies’clone soldiers wearing ominous masks, called Combine that make this city a place of repression and fear.










Ravenholm
(Half-Life 2)


Probably even worse place than City 17 is Ravenholm, especially if you strain there in the middle of the night. Something’s lurking for fresh meat… And you’re on the menu.









Silent Hill
(Silent Hill)


These toilets are the worst in Scotland and perhaps in all three layers of Silent Hill. The only thing worse than that is Room 307.










Streets of Carcer City
(Manhunt)


Being part of reality show is a road to money and fame. But be careful if it runs on streets of Carver City and is named something like “Who wants to be suffocated by a plastic bag?”










Washington D.C. in the year 2277
(Fallout 3)


The real horror about this place is the future that is not actually so distant. Just look at the picture and feel the shivers down your spine.

Our own room in silent hill 4... wait, actually I'm thinking the entire 'dark side' of silent hill as well. Love that game though.
