Top 10 Video Games We'd Least Want to See Simulated in Real Life

Video games are fun because they're not real. You can blast zombies in the face, outrun a tsunami, survive a mutant outbreak, and still be back in time for dinner. But imagine waking up and finding your city has turned into ground zero for a biohazard apocalypse, or you're being hunted by possessed animatronics in a haunted pizza joint. Suddenly, pressing pause isn't an option.

This list isn't about bad graphics or clunky controls. It's about the games that would be an absolute nightmare if they crossed the line into real life. Think infection rates instead of XP boosts. Think high-tech warfare tearing up your neighborhood instead of your console. Basically, if the events in these games started playing out around you, you'd be packing your go-bag and questioning all your life choices.

So take a look at the list and ask yourself which of these game worlds you'd least want to live in.

The Top Ten

  1. Plague Inc.

    The whole storyline of Plague, Inc is to make a disease and kill all humans with it. It's a really fun game when it's confined to the world of the mobile app store, but trust me, if this game happened in real life, be prepared to make a rocket to Mars, unless you enjoy organ failure.

    Too bad if you don't want to because that's what 2020 basically is.

  2. Five Nights at Freddy's

    Thanks for this. This is probably going to give me some nightmares tonight.

    I do not think kids should play this.

    If you think it's scary now, bleh, if it was real... this may change my opinion about Chuck E. Cheese's too.

    I mean, seeing real models of those guys would be cool. Working at the place? I have so many nightmares about looking down the hall and seeing Foxy rush at me.

    If the Chuck E. Cheese's franchise eventually goes bankrupt in a flash, expect this to happen (not really).

  3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

    I'm not going to explain much else, except if you want to die, wish this game would happen.

  4. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

    This would be the most expensive action game to run a real-life version of, aside from the ones which are based in fantasy worlds and/or multiverses.

    This is the LAST Call of Duty game I'm putting on here, OK?

  5. Pandemic

    The storyline of this game is the exact same as Plague, Inc, and Pandemic even has sequels. So, if Plague, Inc and all the Pandemic games happened at once, be prepared for a chaotic world.

  6. The Sims

    Anybody is probably aware of how the game "The Sims" is played. Basically, you tell fake people what to do. So, unless you enjoy every one of your actions being controlled by some dictator of the world, you wouldn't want this to happen.

  7. Slender: The Eight Pages

  8. Super Mario Bros.

    This is a great game, but would you want Goombas walking around, where if you even TOUCHED them, you could die, or have this glorified turtle kidnap a princess?

    I would die by just touching a mushroom or a turtle? Game over.

  9. Halo

  10. Mortal Kombat

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    The Sims 4

  12. ?

    Silent Hill 3

    13. The Contenders

  13. Minecraft

    The good news is, you would respawn. The bad news is, well, skellys and zombies and creepers! OH MY!

  14. Pokémon

    Oh, Pokèmon... it's a fun game and all, but I wonder what the animals go through. Suppose this happened in real life: your Pokèmon (Labrador Puppy) has one duty - to help you catch more "Pokèmon." Your puppy beats up your neighbor's cat, and your neighbor has to pay for it because your dog is stronger.

    At least the neighbor's cat has free health care. That's what a real-life Pokèmon could be like.

    Also, PETA would be pissed.

  15. Super Smash Bros. Melee

    Basically, with a real-life simulation of this game, your ultimate goal is to kill each other. We'd have to go to mass graves soon.

  16. The Last of Us

  17. Left 4 Dead

  18. Grand Theft Auto

    I think the list is talking about semi-invincible characters that could rampage across a city without consequences, not the city environment itself.

    There are tons of simulations like this: Detroit, New Orleans, St. Louis, Camden, Oakland, etc.

  19. Fallout 3

  20. Pac-Man

  21. Parasite in City

  22. Sonic Adventure 2

    I kind of don't want the world to almost be blown up by a laser. But hey, I could meet every Sonic character in real life.

  23. Manhunt

  24. Mega Man

  25. Amnesia

  26. Borderlands

  27. Cave Story
